Risk warning
82% of Plus500 retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Only deposit what you can afford to lose.
What can you trade with $100 at Plus500?
With $100 and 1:30 leverage (FCA/CySEC/ASIC), you control $3,000 in market exposure. That is enough to open a small position on EUR/USD, S&P 500, or gold. It is not enough for large-scale trading — the $100 is the minimum to access the platform, not a recommended trading amount.
