Online Foreign Exchange Brokerages: Which ones are good & reputable for smaller trades? 
For "smaller trades", I'm not sure you can beat FXCM.com, a large, dedicated FX trading shop with extremely tight spreads, and a "Micro" account that you can open for as little as $25(US). Their "main" offering has a minimum account size of $2k (US), but recommends an account  size of $10k or more. But they also have a "micro" account, which can be opened for as little as $25, with a $500 or higher recommended size. I haven't used them personally, but they're well known in the discount FX space.   One strong positive indicator, in my opinion, is that they sell an online FX training course for $19.99.  Why is that positive?  It means that their margins on your activity are small, and they're not trying to get you "hooked".  If that were not the case, they'd give the course away, since they'd be able to afford to, and they would expect to make so much of your subsequent activity.   They do have some free online materials, too, but not the video stuff. Another plus is that they encourage you to use less leverage than they allow.  This does potentially serve their interests, by getting more of your deposits with them, but a lot of FX shops advertise the leverage to appeal to users' hope to make more faster, which isn't a great sign, in my opinion. Note that the micro account has no human support; you can only get support via email. On the other hand, the cost to test them out is close to nil; you can literally open an account for $25.
