Thread: How much capital do you need to start in forex? Realistic guide for new traders

If you take this seriously, your first investment shouldn't be less than $1,501.

I operated for a year with $501 and learned a lot. I didn’t earn much, but I gained experience without melting.

With $10,001 you can already consider living off trading if you are disciplined. Less than that is very fair to have stable income.

$1.101 was enough to realize that the real enemy is not the market, but my head.

Don't make more than $501 if you don't know what you're doing. But if you already have strategy and emotional control, $3,001 is a good figure.

The best initial investment is in knowledge, but when you move on to real, minimum put $2,001. It'll give you air.

There are brokers who accept from $5, but that doesn't mean you should. Better put $1,001 together and operate well.

With $1,501 you can maintain a serious management, apply your rules and survive a bad streak without drama.

I always say the same thing: less than $2,001 is just to learn. To win, you need more capital and cold head. 2/2
