Depends on who you use. CMC Markets is the lowest start that I know of at $2000 CDN but if you are worried about raising a minimum amount you'd be better off not giving it a whirl until you have traded a demo account for several weeks and proven yourself to be successful. It is not just about the minimum amount, consider the leverage you can get (again CMC Markets are good for this - I have no agenda to push them, just that I understand that they are a good provider), the instruments that you can trade through them, the platform that they give you to use and how easy that is for you to understand. If I were you I'd research the providers with the minimum sum being almost the least of your worries. For pete's sake don't use a high street provider who can't offer you any leverage.

It depends on which brokerage firm you select. It would be about Rs. 2500 to 7500 including minimum balance required for bank account.
