Start with Acceptable Trading Capital no comments
Many investors start with less than $10,000 in their trading accounts. How- ever, it is important to realize that the less you have in your account, the more cautious you have to be. Perhaps the toughest problem is to establish a sufficient capital base to invest effectively. If you begin investing or trading with very little capital, you will assure yourself of failure. Making money in the markets requires a learning curve, and incurring loss is part of the trading process. When it comes to trading, “you have to pay to play.” You don’t need to be a millionaire, but trading does require a certain amount of capital to get started. In many cases, the brokerage firm you choose will determine how much is required to put you in the game. How- ever, no matter how much you begin with, it is a good idea to start out by trading conservatively. If you invest smartly, you can make very good returns and your financial goals will be realized.
