what should be the minimum capital ?
I would like to know this question, as I am particularly new to the market, I want to make sure that there is an equal balance maintained, so that I might not get affected with any down trends later on

I would also like to know if I have to keep a safe deposit any where just in case to re-fund if needed, as I am new I might step on a horse by mistake .
I am sorry for my questions but I am really a beginner and I hope your inputs can help in my future trades

To play around $100 is enough. To earn it's better to have $5,000+.

There are many forex brokers nowadays that would allow you to trade with as little as $1. You can also demo trade with virtual money just for the sake of practice.

The more money you have as an initial deposit the more profit you can earn, it's tough to consistently grow a mini or micro account from a $25 initial deposit.

In my opinion the beginners should avoid making huge investment. Because any unprofitable trade can demoralize the beginner and due to depression he can loose many trades. I feel the come confident you become the more money you can put in this market.

Starting with a small amount or micro account is definitely a good idea!

your best bet is to demo-trade first,for some time.When you gain experience,trading style and confidence,then you can trade for real.dont be in a hurry.Lean first.

i think it all depends on your will for a good earner a 10000 will be also a normal thing while for a person like me it is very much to invest

The Golden Rule of Forex Trading says "Invest only that amount which you can afford to loose".

For a Newbie in forex trading learning to save money is more important than making profit initially.

Well here i disagree with the Golden rule.... i would say rather invest as much as you can manage to invest and handle trades.
