Its minimum deposit wording names the conditions: "No minimum deposit (Premium and Cent accounts; Zero $25, Pro $100, InfinityX $500)". The cheapest account to open is not always the cheapest to trade on: accounts with a raw spread usually charge a commission per lot, and commission-free accounts carry the cost in a wider spread. HFM's commission wording: "From $3 per lot (Zero account, $6 round turn per 100,000 units on forex); Premium, Pro, Cent and InfinityX no commission".

Is the minimum enough to start trading?

A minimum deposit opens the account; it does not make a small account safe. With leverage (HFM lists "up to 1:2000 (international site, HF Markets (SV) Ltd; InfinityX account: unlimited)"), a small balance can be closed out by a short move against you.
