  How much should a trader start trading with?

  The initial amount that you deposit would depend on your goals and strategy in trading. You can start with as little as AUD$50 with Vantage. If you plan on making larger trades, a bigger initial deposit could reduce the need for multiple deposits. Please note that you should only trade the amount that you can afford to lose. For new traders at Vantage, you can also consider trying out a demo account. A demo account is designed to allow traders to explore trading different products and familiarise themselves with the functionalities of the trading platform. At Vantage, we offer a demo account with virtual funds of up to $100,000 for beginners to practise trading before making the decision to switch to a live account. If your virtual funds are depleted, you can simply reset the account to start practising again.
