From my experience evaluating RBC Direct Investing, I've found that the platform doesn’t overtly highlight a set minimum deposit amount required to open a live trading account. Instead, the main threshold that stands out relates to maintenance fees: accounts holding less than $15,000 in assets are subject to a quarterly $25 maintenance fee, unless specific conditions for a waiver are met. The absence of an explicit minimum deposit requirement provides some flexibility, but traders should be aware that starting with a balance below that $15,000 threshold will incur ongoing costs. For me, as a seasoned trader, this structure encourages thoughtful account funding. The fee policy makes it prudent to deposit at least $15,000 if you wish to avoid the regular maintenance charges and optimize cost efficiency. Still, the platform technically allows you to start with a smaller amount, as long as you're comfortable with the potential quarterly fee. When considering RBC, I always factor these costs into my overall trading plan to ensure that fees don’t inadvertently erode returns, especially for smaller portfolios. This approach aligns with my general risk management strategy—understanding not just the investment potential but also the operational costs involved when starting with RBC.
