well I'm a newbie 2 so consider yourself 4warned....
but what I've learned is that accts can be opened for as lil as $200 (MG Financial....they'll even give u free feed ta boot for that paltry amt) but of course you really wanna consider a much larger security blanket 4 yourself as the leverage can wipe u out faster than u can say "what happened" :0
JRB has told me 10K is a decent amt 2 begin with...as long as u start off e z & conservative w/1 pip positions for the minimum.
If u r new 2 4X u will most certainly wanna paper trade 4 awhile to get a decent feel 4 how fast things can move.
