An account-opening threshold is not a workable trading budget.

What to compare
A published zero minimum can still coexist with a minimum payment amount, minimum position size, margin requirement and withdrawal threshold. Check all four separately and identify the exact account type.
Limits of the published information
Equiti’s account materials contain differing minimum claims across account pages and cards. Do not apply the most attractive number to every account. With a small budget, fixed transfer charges and the smallest available trade can dominate the economics.
Separate the amount needed to open an account, the smallest payment accepted, the margin for the smallest position and the minimum withdrawal. A zero on the first line does not settle the other three.
Illustrative case: an account opens with zero, but a transfer has an AED 25 fixed fee. Sending AED 100 loses 25% to that fee before conversion; sending AED 1,000 loses 2.5%. This does not recommend either deposit. It explains why fixed charges matter more than an opening threshold.
