I was really considering using Lightspeed as my initial brokerage firm, but the initial investment needs to be at least $10,000.00 which is completely unreasonable. Most retail investors would have that much disposable income.

From the ease of downloading the Lightspeed Brokerage app to the simplicity of making your first live trade, Lightspeed Brokerage appeals to traders at all experience levels. They provide to intermediate and experienced self-directed investors and traders with a commission free structure for short-term and active traders who would save a considerable amount on commissions compared to other brokers.

One of the downsides to using Lightspeed for your brokerage needs is the $25,000 minimum required to open an account. Aside from that factor, Lightspeed continues to make improvements, especially to their UI, that puts them on par with the bigwigs.
