I started trading in a platform. When my balance was small, the gap between buy and sell (the spread) was tiny.
When I added more funds, the minimum I could buy tripled and the spread increased to 10 times larger.
When I added more funds, the minimum increased again, this time doubling. I know that it increases due the balance because I asked customer support.
It seems to me a that they are trying to leave the user with the possibility of being able to just execute 2 or 3 trades, regardless of the cash balance you have. This feels wrong.
Is it legal to raise the minimum trade?
