Yes, investing money in forex trading is just spent money that affords to lose, it's better to avoid debut for investing forex trading account to avoid something out from expectation because trading forex is risky, besides capital also trader need to looking for a reliable broker, trusted broker usually regulated and they have good review feedback from many traders
In my opinion, you need to invest a small amount. For example, when I started, I invested a minimum amount of $100.

I invest 5% of my overall savings
I believe that a small amount should be invested, especially if the trader has just started working in this industry. Otherwise, it will not have the best results.

Completely agree i think its about scaling up as you go. Theres no point lumping 10k into an account when you could get comfortable with 1-2k first

Invest that money that you will not be sorry to lose. Do not invest if you have loans to pay; if you have debts, do not invest if you do not have an emergency fund. Be careful because all kinds of scammers will want to lie to you and take all your money. Start with a small amount, even from $ 100, and see if you can stay in trading longer. Unfortunately, I lost a lot of money because I wanted a quick profit. This happens when you do not have a financial education. Now I'm recovering; I'm trying to build a healthy relationship with money, I want to attract them, so I keep repeating these phrases written on https://radicalfire.com/money-affirmations-wealth-abundance/ 'I am an excellent money manager'
I usually invest as little as possible. For example, when I started, I replenished with a minimum amount of $100.

A 100 dollar investment is enough if you a newbie in Forex trading. But things are different for you if you are an expert and have sufficient amount of cash in hand to run a business. I am saying it because Forex is an uncertain business. Professional traders too should not invest more than 5000 dollars.

On a fundamental level, you should not risk more than 1-3 percent of your capital on a single trade. Because the gain is not guaranteed and the loss is unavoidable, the reasoning behind this is to prevent blowing out your account. You can begin trading forex for as little as $100, but your profit will be limited in the beginning.

Investment is a big factor in Forex trading business because the profit increases here proportionately. Besides, Forex is such a market where a trader can trade with a very small capital. But, I prefer not to invest more than 5000 USD because Forex is a volatile and risky market.
The best way to think of how much you can invest is how much you can afford to lose. That way you will be able to buckle up and start trading the right away knowing that these are the very exact amount that you do not want to lose.
Investment amount should be smaller if you are a new trader. But if you are an experienced trader, your investment amount should be large. Because old traders know how to operate trading maintaining risk management and money management policy. If a trader is capable of trading, large investment must provide him with a better outcome.
If you are a beginner in forex, I suggest trading with a small account because the risk and capital invested will be lower to manage losses in the future. A minimum opening balance of $100 should be fine.
Start investing from $100 and then see if you are able to make a profit gradually or not.
Usually I invest the minimum possible amount, but if I know that I can make good money, I can invest more.

As soon as you begin to regard trading as a business, all the answers will immediately become obvious.
If you want to open a restaurant, you don't ask on the forum how much money you need. You build a business plan and, based on your desires, see how much money you need to open a coffee shop, and how much money you need to establish a chain of restaurants.
With proper management, both projects will bring money and pay off. The difference is only in the rate of payback and in the amount of capital.
Open a small hobby coffee shop and you will have happiness and some money to live on. Open a chain of restaurants and you will have constant problems and solid capital for business development.

One advantage of forex trading is we can start even use low trading budget like as $100, this may be different compared when we try to create a business coffee shop, the capital needed more expensive than forex, but indeed not all people are suitable with forex trading business, but if already able making forex profit trading consistently, this business make enjoys in life.
