I was just looking at what the best trading app is to start with little money, and honestly, there are more options than I thought. What’s clear is that you no longer need thousands to get into this.

MiTrade surprised me because you can start with just $20. The interface is clean—no unnecessary complications—and that’s exactly what someone just starting out is looking for. They offer a demo with 50k virtual funds for 90 days, so you can practice without risk. It’s probably the best trading app if you’re a beginner because it doesn’t overwhelm you with buttons everywhere.

Now, if you already have experience and want more options, AvaTrade and XM are another level. AvaTrade really delivers with MetaTrader 4 and 5, and they have copy trading tools like ZuluTrade. XM is more for people who already have trading down because leverage goes up to 1000x, but keep in mind that’s high risk. The minimum deposit at XM is ridiculous ($5), but you need to know what you’re doing.

Plus500 has nearly 3,000 assets, and they’ve just moved into futures in the U.S. market. If your thing is the most varied markets and you want to diversify a lot, this is your best trading app. eToro, on the other hand, is more social—copy trading is its strength. Basically, you follow investors who know what they’re doing and automatically replicate their moves.

The truth is, the best trading app depends entirely on who you are. If you’re a beginner and want something simple, MiTrade. If you’re an active trader and you’ve mastered advanced platforms, AvaTrade or XM. If you want a variety of assets, Plus500. And if you prefer to learn by copying others, eToro is your option.

The important thing is that before you put in real money, you practice with demo accounts. Everyone offers that. And well, all trading involves risk, so don’t put in what you can’t afford to lose.
