Three different “minimums”
Course context: This lesson belongs to a practical beginner curriculum for Pakistan.
| Minimum | Definition | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Account first deposit | Initial funding threshold for the chosen account type/region | Open Account flow in the PA |
| Payment method minimum | Smallest amount accepted for every transaction | Live Deposit method card |
| Practical trading budget | Funds needed for planned exposure, costs and buffer | Your calculation using live specifications |
Current account guidance
| Account group | Official description | Do not claim |
|---|---|---|
| Standard / Standard Cent | Low first deposit depending on geography and payment method | A universal fixed USD amount |
| Pro / Raw Spread / Zero | Initial minimum starts from at least USD 200 depending on region | That USD 200 is guaranteed for every Pakistan account |
| Demo | Virtual funds; no real deposit needed | That demo results reproduce live psychology/execution exactly |
Higher-threshold rule
If the account’s first-deposit requirement is USD 200 equivalent and the payment method minimum is USD 10, at least USD 200 is required. If the account threshold is lower but the method requires USD 25, the transaction must meet USD 25. Always compare after any currency conversion.
