How much is the minimum deposit for a STARTRADER account?

Quick answer

There is no single official figure that covers every STARTRADER account. The official account and funding pages checked for this guide do not publish a per-account minimum deposit for Standard or regular ECN accounts, so for those accounts the figure shown during your application, or in your Client Portal on the day, is the deciding source. Two official figures do exist, each in its own context: the Prime ECN account page states a minimum deposit of USD 10,000, and the Gold product page states that the minimum deposit for trading Gold CFDs is 50 USD. The 50 USD figure belongs to the Gold CFD context in which it is published; it is not published as the minimum deposit for every account. Read the sections below before using either number.

What the official account and funding pages do and do not publish

The trading accounts page answers the minimum deposit question in general industry terms only: it says most brokers have a minimum deposit requirement, that the minimum can range from $5-$10 at some brokers to $100 or even more at others, and that it may vary slightly depending on the type of account. That passage gives no STARTRADER-specific figure for a Standard or an ECN account. The funding page explains deposit methods and states that STARTRADER does not charge fees for depositing funds, or for withdrawal of funds in most countries, and it gives no minimum deposit figure at all. Review sites commonly quote a single low figure for every account; that figure was not found in the official account or funding text checked on 23 October 2026, so this guide does not present it as an official STARTRADER minimum.

Prime ECN: the one published per-account figure, USD 10,000

The one per-account figure STARTRADER publishes is for its premium tier. The Prime ECN account page states, in its own words: “The minimum deposit is USD 10,000,” and adds that there are no additional requirements besides the USD 10,000 minimum deposit. The same page answers the upgrade question directly: if a client's existing ECN Account already has USD 10,000, the client does not need to deposit another USD 10,000, because as long as the current account balance is USD 10,000 or above, the client can upgrade directly without making an additional deposit. So the USD 10,000 is the published threshold for that account tier, not a fee, and it does not set the minimum for Standard or regular ECN accounts, for which the official pages checked publish no figure.

The 50 USD figure, in its published context only

The Gold product page answers the question “What's the minimum investment for gold trading?” by stating that, with STARTRADER, the minimum deposit for trading Gold CFDs is just 50 USD. A silver product page similarly gives U$50 as the minimum requirement for funding an account in that commodity trading context. Those statements support one sentence only: in the Gold CFD context published on the Gold page, the minimum deposit stated is 50 USD. They do not publish a Standard account minimum, an ECN account minimum, or a minimum for every deposit channel, and this guide does not extend the figure beyond the context in which STARTRADER published it. If the application or portal display for your account shows a different figure on the day, that display governs your deposit.

A minimum deposit is not a starting budget

A minimum deposit is the smallest amount a route accepts, not an amount this guide recommends trading with. Your starting budget also has to absorb trading costs that are separate from the deposit itself: the spread on each trade, any commission that applies to your account and instrument, and overnight charges where a position is held overnight. Deposits can also be built up over more than one payment: under this website's campaign terms, deposits count cumulatively, so a threshold can be reached through several deposits rather than a single transfer. Plan the total you intend to fund, and the number of payments you intend to make, before you make the first one.

Campaign figures are thresholds, not minimums, and how to check your figure

Two figures on this website are thresholds, not account minimums, and they should not be confused with each other. This website's independent partner team offers a US$50 exclusive new-client subsidy: register through this website's dedicated link, make cumulative deposits of at least US$1,000 during the campaign period (1 September to 31 October 2026), complete 5 standard lots, then request the subsidy, once per client. The full terms on the campaign details page (topwinwin.com/campaigns/new-client-50/details/) govern, including eligibility and regional conditions, and nothing in this guide promises that any individual reader qualifies. Separately, STARTRADER provides a US$500 trading credit under its own official terms, connected on this website with a first qualifying deposit of US$1,000; that credit is trading credit, not withdrawable cash, and it is not part of a deposit balance you can take out. To check the minimum that applies to you, use only current official displays: the account pages on startrader.com, the figure shown in the official application for the account you are opening, and your Client Portal display on the day you deposit. Our independent partner team can explain these figures in English or Persian; the deposit requirements for your account are set by the applicable STARTRADER entity.
