thanks that is sort of relieving i'd heard mention of 25k minimum for an account with day trading behavior and there is no way i can afford to risk that much money.

excuse my ignorance but what is the function of a broker and is it necessary t ohave one?

also, do you know anything about forex? from the small amount i have read this seems easier to understand. how easy is it to trade currency on forex - is it a similar sort of setup like trading stock? and is it recommended or easy to grasp for someone who is willing to learn but has v little economic knowledge and experience?

thankyou
