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'

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.

You guys really consider yourself as investors but not gamblers? lol

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.

Start investing from $100 and then see if you are able to make a profit gradually or not.

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.

It is important to understand that the minimum investment amount depends on the trader himself. The more experience, the more you can invest.

Its such an old adage but really is what you can afford to lose. Like having pressure of losing too much or over leveraging is a recipe for disaster imo

I would suggest newbie traders before they spent money in forex trading, need to spend time learning, there are so many ways to learn forex trading, like from courses, or learn free from reading forex resources like as babypips, or through forex community like FXOpen forum, there also available free contest with a real prize for the winner.

There is no easy route in forex to bring in cash in a brief time frame/fast way. It requests persistent endeavors including finding out about forex, having a greater capital, mimizing the voracity factors and so on A decent blend of everything component can bring a positive outcome. Procuring isn't according to venture, its about our experience that we make a ton with a little sum and may free a solid capital because of absence of information.

Do you want to invest?? Then you must invest no less than a few million dollars. 😄😄😄 😂
And still it mustn't be your last money.

I believe a trader should only invest only the amount he can afford to lose.
