Thinkorswim is $3500 minimum to open a regular account, but there is "no minimum" to open an IRA. You can try their software for free (with PaperMoney) if you open an account, but quotes are delayed until you fund your account (real time quotes and charts once funded). I have a portion of my IRA there for shorter term trades and learning options. Very useful technical data, but no fundamentals unless you are an InvesTools member. It does have live news and live CNBC video. Last I heard Scottrade has a $500 minimum to open an account. I have not used them, but my brother does for some of his investments (he has been retired since age 32 and manages mom's IRA and family trust my dad set up when he passed away).
