How much should you invest in trading

There is no upper limit on investment and you can invest as much as you want, but you need to consider the risk and quantity and invest in a reasonable period of time.

When I started working with a broker , I invested the minimum possible amount of $100.

A very common query and confusion among novices, trading can be started with an amount as little as $100. Another benefit of forex trading is that you don’t need a fixed capital to trade. So, rather than worrying about capital, you spend time honing skills that will help you multiply your investment.

It depends strictly on your personal needs and wishes. What do you want to get from trading or investing? Answer this question and then you will have an answer how much money you require in order to start trading. I believe nowadays there is nothing difficult to start investing, because brokers allow people to start trading or investing just with 10-100$. This sum is considered to be the most acceptable for them. I hope all people have extra 100$ which they can invest in some stocks or forex trading, which will generate extra income.

Forex trading can be highly profitable but it is also very risky. If you like to participate in the Forex market you need to invest money, but only a limited amount, the amount that you can afford to lose. So the first step of the trading process is to create a financial plan and calculate your allowable risk and then invest the amount that you decided upon.

Deciding the right amount of capital investment can often be confusing for novices. However, you can always start small and add on to your capital eventually. Personally, I started with a basic investment of $200 and added more soon after I became confident about my skills and knowledge.

I think it's great to have the option to start as low as $5, even though that isn't going to do much for you. Some may be anxious to deposit at all, so it's a good way to ease into the markets. It's always better to deposit more, but some may need to work their way up to it. I personally started with around $100, but turned around and made a larger deposit shortly after.

Most people start with a demo/practice/paper trading account. But you need to get started to be used to trading real money. Open a micro account and trade like $100 for $1 trades.

Plan out your trades on the fake account first, then after at least 15 minutes to an hour of watching it develop, open the same trade on the real account.

Another option is to have a stash that is set aside for trading but invest say 20% of it or something like that. If you then blow that then at least you have support funds to go and try again. Better to test with a smaller amount and add to it when you have evidence that it is a wise decision than go all in and blow the lot.

I believe it depends on person to person, there is no specific amount as such with which one needs to trade. You can start with any amount as long as you are comfortable with that.

It all depends on your risk tolerance and goals. But if you're just getting started in forex, it's not worth risking a lot of money.

It varies from person to person. If you are a beginner, a small amount is recommended because it is low risk.

This is a valid point. There are 2 things to consider while deciding the amount of capital you will use for trading. The first one is how much money you are willing to risk and the second one is how much money you are aiming to make from trading. You do have the option to use leverage but it also adds up to risk which is a point to be kept in mind.

When you invest it is important to consider several factors.

1. What is your current budget. That is, how much money are you really willing to invest in investing, without the risk of being left with nothing.
2. What is the expected income per month. Let's say if a trader offers you +5% per month, calculate how much you need to invest so that you feel this 5%.
3. How long are you willing to invest. Naturally, the longer the investment lies, the more you earn.

And, of course, choose only experienced traders to invest.

It mostly depends on your trading experience and the amount of risk you can take. It also depends on the leverage size.

I am still trading with the same broker, FP Markets, since 2020, and their trading conditions are robust and reliable. They have been consistent without any issues.

The spreads are the same as in the beginning, starting from as low as 0.0 pips in EURUSD and in other currency pairs, it averages around 0.1-0.3 pips.

It depends on how much you want to invest and if you are confident enough to get back more than what you have invested. 

I used to trade with $10 per trade but gained more by using leverage and gradually increased it to 50 or 100 once I learned about it. 

Why would you worry how much to fund your account, IF.

1. You have an edge.
2. You have run Demo/Sim accounts until you are fully comfortable that your edge /strategy gives you a positive win lose ratio. %
3. You fully understand money management,
4. You understand how to size your positions in relation to your account size.
5. You understand what news releases will affect your trading pair and when.
