Opening a mini-forex account is not bad by any means, especially if you are just breaking into forex trading for the first time. You are putting limited capital at risk while you test out your techniques, it truly is a wise thing to do.
One downfall to a mini- account is that you do not trade lots of 100,000 but rather lots of 10,000 and you are really limited to the number of lots that you can trade at any given time, thus making it harder for your to dollar cost average.
Don’t let anyone tell you that opening a mini forex account is bad in any way. you just must realize that just with investing in stocks options bonds etc etc etc, there is risk involved…thats all!
Not bad in any moral sense but maybe not be the way to go for investing. First, you must understand currencies and the way they they trade against each other. Not a good place for beginners.
To me it is bad to open a mini forex account with only $250. Reasons being:
1. To me $250 funding of forex account is consider small account. Most traders may not take it seriously as capital involved is small. If the traders were to take up position that went against him/her, they will not feel the pinch of losing even the whole capital.
2. Let’s say you do take it seriously, you will not satisfied with the small capital gain after awhile because you cannot take up large position due to capital.

It’s as good a way to lose $250 as any other money-wasting option, I suppose!
