Having a look at the demo account on www.gcitrading.com - it allows mini account for both shares and forex. (min $500) I am aware of other companies that allow forex trading eg fxcm, forex.com but which other companies are their that allow both shares and forex on mini account like gcitrading? See that its based in Belize and that has put me off a bit but platform looks very good for both shares+forex.
