Brokers

Hi all. I have been trading in demo on GFT for a couple of weeks now and am looking to make the leap into live trading. The problem I have is not being an accredited investor. I tried to open an account with GFT and to satisfy the requirements you have to make over $200,000 or have equity around 1mil. I have neither, most people dont. Does anybody have any recommendations on how to skirt the issue. I find it quite ridiculous actually, that you can open an account with $500 but you have to have a million to your name. I must mention that I am Canadian, if that has a bearing on anything. Thanks for you time and thoughts.
