Different investment strategies require different initial investment levels.
A low risk trend trader might be able to trade with $100.00 using 0.01 lot sizes, even less if it's a cent account.
A high risk coin toss trader who is always in and is using a Martingale gambling strategy to increase the lot size on each new trade, will absolutely need a considerably larger initial investment,
Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose. If losing $1000.00 will cause ANY negative consequences in your life, then perhaps it is unwise to invest $1000.00.
What investment level worked best on your demo account?
Only you can determine what will work best for your trading with a Live account.

It seems to me that with an account less than 1000 you have nothing to do here at all, because you will be constantly worried about a small free margin left or you will be limited to a small number of deals - it is not interesting at all plus it does not bring much money.
I agree with you

For the beginner, it would be probably be the best for them to start with demo account and get dabbled with various variables and understanding those variables.
Once they get comfortable with making profits, they can start with real account. For that, it would be best for them to try Micro account - basically you can deposit minimum deposit - say $50, even $5 is fine (based on broker's conditions) and start facing the reality.
I think so too

Basically, small amount is not the issue! When you have a good trading skill; then surely you’ll be a successful money maker end of the day; your knowledge is the powerhouse!

No way to ignore your point; but the fact is; you also need a healthy trading capital to be a satisfied Forex trader!

I disagree with you.
A small account balance is not feasible for all trading strategies.
If you want to be profitable, make profitable trades.

best starting capital is 0.
start with demo and learn how to trade and then go real and invest.
if you invest right now with 0 experience and knowledge - you will just fail as fast as it possible.
don't do that and I wish you smart moves.

knowledge is the powerhouse, this is absolutely true, but you need capital ultimately to make more money.
