Trading and investment is a game of numbers and moreso how to use the numbers judiciously while properly applying the knowledge. Some people say small capital is the best to start trading with while others say small capital will leave you with limited choices that the best is to trade with big funds. Starting with big fund will always be the best provided the user is able to manage it. So many things are connected but I conclude that big capital is good but a good trader can work with small and big funds and make profits with it. Let me hear your opinion on this!

What's small and what's big?

Imo trading with a up to a few tens of million is generally all as easy as each other (especially in stocks). You should still be able to average a good rate of return whether your balance is big or small.

If your balance is big, you can of course hire a manager but how do you know they're going to manage it well if you're not involved?
Equally if you are involved, how do you know you're finding the right thinga/a manager is just telling you what you want to hear?

I think there's no difference either small or big capital regarding with your trading activity, because the trading fees isn't flat but it depends on the amount money you use which mean you didn't need to use big capital to make the trading fees cheaper.

Small or big capital only effect on your emotional, if you use small capital of course you will be more relax to place buy and sell order since you wouldn't too worry if your decision is false. While when you use big capital you will be careful and panic if the market doesn't goes as your expectation.

If you are new to trading, it is better to use small capital to familiarize yourself with all components in trading because you need to understand how to trade. If you are using small capital, your risk will not be big and if you lose in trading, your losses will not be bigger while you still learn about trading. If you think that you have enough skills and experience in trading, you can increase your capital to trade, but that does not guarantee you can make a big profit because that will still depend on your skills and the market situation. Becoming a good trader is difficult and not many people can do that and there are many things to prepare before you can improve your skills.

I do not advise anyone mostly the newbies to start big. You will never know how much you can lose as someone who's still testing the market.

It is best to test only with small amounts so you can formulate your strategy and you're going to have an idea how much you can earn and lose with your quick trades.

Start with small capital will be my suggestion for anyone who is just about to begin their trading in cryptocurrencies even of they have enough of experience in the trading stocks and forex because the condition is not same in the cryptocurrency market especially the volatility rate.

While I agree that small/big may not be the same for everybody, regardless of the sums you're working with, trading is all about skills and talent.

SO clearly for anybody new to this, playing with large money from the starts is likely not going to end up well, and even after sometime because the markets can be quite unpredictable playing around when you're not fully confident and taking higher risks than necessary is something anyone would recommend not to do.

At the end of the day, this is all a matter of individual choice. we can say what's right and wrong for us but of course can't speak for everyone.

This is the better recommendation you could give to a newbie trader. You can't tell him to burn $100K just to test his skills unless he's an extremely rich guy.

This sounds like an advice coming from brokers looking to profit from ignorance of newbies.

How will he manage a big fund when he's still a starter?

In my opinion, the capital doesn't really matter, at least at the beginning. There are enough videos/tutorials where you can see how professional traders make several thousand dollars from $100 within 1-2 weeks. Of course, these are full professionals who do nothing but trade every day and often 12 - 16 hours per day. Such videos/tutorials are absolutely not suitable for absolute beginners, but show quite nicely how quickly the professionals trade and which support measures (alarms, heavy use of stop losses, ...) are are in place.

In general, however, the higher the initial capital of a newbie trader is, the higher the loss ;)

Both options are fine it is just that people are going to be limited on the amount of funds that they can get in the market and many cannot really go to the big funds option as they do not have the moneyto do so.

Staring out with a small capital is good because as a newbie you will make mistakes and this means that you will lose less money while you are learning the ropes, but if you have the knowledge and the money then it is better to begin with all your capital as a 1% gain of a 10 dollars investments is very different than the 1% gain of a one million dollar investment, even if in terms of percentage the growth was the same.

It will be a disaster if your entries are bad with big funds. I wouldn't even think twice of using big fund when I don't know if I will be able to handle small fund and how to manage my position.
I believe paper trading exist for a reason, start from there you wish to gain some experience but paper trading might not even be enough because emotions wouldn't be set in yet. The moment you start with lesser values, one can learn to master his pattern, position, margin, size and leverage.
I developed interest in only coins or token with an upcoming update and huge liquidity. That way, you can't get stuck on a single trade. Opportunity cost is very essential.

Honestly, it doesnt really much matter neither you do start up with big or small capital but somehow the differences does really correspond some slight advantage and disadvantage.
On small capital then you would really dont matter much when you do lose which simply implies that you are a bit confident same goes with bigger capital.
If you dont know on how to have control on this one then you would definitely lose no matter what and this is where self realizations do happen.
You can differentiate between the two.

Doesn't matter if you have a "small" capital or a "big" one. You can always start trading. The only difference is, with bigger capital, you will be able to make more profit, you will have more options and you will likely be taking more risk. Having large capital will give you a huge boost when it comes to investing and trading.
On other hand, with smaller capital, you won't be getting the same return since you will be risking less. Nonetheless, it doesn't matter. Everything starts from "small", right?

Good trader starts from nothing, they also learned from their failures but don't make that expensive by using huge amount of money. All of us can start with small capital, for us to acquire better learnings in trading. Big capital is risky for those newbies who also aimed for huge returns for their money but too dangerous because losing is highly possible.

IMO, it depends on your skills and knowledge in trading, if you were quite new to trading, I would suggest starting in a small capital and that you can afford to take a risk because the chances of getting profit are small which are the most important thing is experience and you should learn on it.

The big capital if you are will experienced trader, because the more money you have, the wide crypto that you can choose, and possible the more profit that you can earn.  But trading isn't an easy way to get profit and there's no assurance of ROI since the market is unpredictable, it's a matter of dip research after all.

Small or big capital still cases to case basis which is potential have profit.

Actually, it is rather ambiguous when you have to say "Small or Big" because we don't know what small or big amount. In this case, maybe we put our money in a large amount in the top coins that are clearly, not Shitcoins. And have learned first because they want to get big profits too.

In fact:
Small Amount -> Small Risk, Small Profit
Big Ammount -> big risk, big profits

So it depends on which one is ready for which. What is clear, investing according to our strength and ability, investing or trading according to the amount we are willing if we suddenly lose the money.

You can't just enter trading even if you think you have a big or small capital if you don't know what you are doing then you are just burning all of your money. Trading is not for newbies or even if you are an experience trader this doesn't mean you will gain profit immediately, I've seen some professional trader or those who trades constantly yet they loss a lot and gain little when they tried to do scalping trading. There are times when trading is profitable and there are times that you won't get any single profit at all. I would say this is just luck or you do some TA first if you want to constantly gain profit.

Its how you manage your capital. Whether its a small or big, the important thing is that you can afford that capital to lose as this trading is like a gambling where you can win big or lose unexpectedly. Though when I was a starter before, I have started just small capital and then make it big when I've learned already some tools like technical analysis.

Most certainly, you need to build not just your confidence but also the knowledge to grow and become a good trader regardless how big your fund is.

Indeed, it's how you manage the capital. Whether it was big or small as long as you know how to manage it and how to use your skills to gain much bigger than you expected. It's also about how you will accept such loses in trading because trading is just like a gambling where you might be able to lose big amount or lose just a small amount of it unexpectedly. When I just started in this kind of investment, I started just a small capital while learning other techniques for me to invest bigger than before. But, the first thing must do is to build confidence in investing something and have the knowledge to become a good trader and be a good researcher to start grow your capital and get the higher amount you wanted.

Ideally, the more money that you have tendency are you can trade more but profit is still not guaranteed because it will depend on your skills in trading and the market situation so technically, your profit will not be determined by your capital.

The real question here, are you willing to take the risk? how much money you can put in the market for trading?
No matter how much your capital is, always remember that trading is risky so don't expect too much. Trading is not just about numbers, trading is also about perfect timing, market news, and the market hype and fud. Profit is profit no matter how big or small it is, so don't pressure yourself to start big right away.

Trading with big capital is always the best as it eliminates the chances of getting stuck with a trade not going through because if you have big capital you can easily invest in several tokens that will make it hard for redundant trading. After all, you will have more tokens to trade around with.

And even if you invest all the capital in one token, if the trade eventually goes in your favor, you make more profits than when you trade with a small. Capital.

Trading is like agriculture business, the more capital you have the more profit you can generate, i know how important individual skill in trading is but without big capital you gonna find a lot struggle.
But as you said if someone have the courage not to easily give up and keep making profit from trading they could grow their capital.
However always remember that even skilled individual cant always make consistent profit if the market moves so fast and unpredictable, i would take that into consideration.

no mate it always a good decision to start with small capital especially if it's your first time, wherein just to try your skills when trading in a specific coin. Because there's a big difference when it comes practicing in a demo account and the actual trading situation. But yes of course with big capital there's a chance for you to obtain good profits. But the question is do you really think that your skills is enough to protect your money from different scenarios in actual trading?  It's very skeptical mate in my opinion especially for first timer. So i suggest must start with small capital before taking it seriously.

I will not say that because if you use big capital to trade, you will have a big risk behind that, and you need to know that the market does not always move well. Sometimes, you need to adjust your capital to trade and not always use big capital because once the market moves in the other direction, you will face a big risk of losing money.

Invest in many tokens will be good but that will depend on what the token is. Many traders tempt to invest like that, but they do not research what coins or tokens will profit later.

Yes, you are right, big or small the capital have, a good trader will try to make a profit, but to always make a profit it is impossible there will be a time when a trader experiences a loss.
If start with a small capital then the profit target must be realistic and always disciplined in financial management how much of the amount of capital is used in every trade, what makes traders lose is when they use all their capital in one trade because they always think to maximize profits and turns out to lose all.

Many might consider trading a game of numbers but for me, trading isn't a game, trading is an art and to be highly profitable in it, one have to master the art very well.
I agree that a good and experienced trader should be able to trade with small or big capital and make profits regardless, but I still insist that trading with big capital is best for professionals, a professional trader trading with little capital is limiting he's chances to make the big bulks the market offers, we all know one of the rule of the market which states that "the big traders always get the lion share in profit as well as in loss" but the fact remains that trading with big capital gives one confidence and alot of motivation as well.

My opinion is almost the same as yours, if you have a big capital, you will be able to cover bigger bases and you can get bigger profit since you have a lot of money invested into something although it will be riskier compared to small capital since one big mishap could wipe out that large amount of money.

Lets just talk about a new trader, that trader that is known as newbie. A newbie traders just like just like any other thing in life, we need to kick start with small amount which is like test running the strategy, skills and understanding of the market. A small capital gives you better emotion more as you doing practice or demo but trading with big capital is not also bad for an experienced trader if they can control the funds through the use of lower risk, money management, lesser leverage and avoiding the use of martingale type of trading.

If they know what they are doing then provably they can recover their losses if market collapse in certain instanvr but if they are new then provably those money will gone to waste, but for sure there's no guys out there will bring some huge capital on any investment if they don't know anything about it since this is kinda huge risk to donin their life. But if we talk about small capital holders maybe they have all the disadvantage since the chance for them to gain is low and also with recovering up since they almost bet all everything they had for just little positions.

I'm not sure what you're getting at when you say it doesn't really matter and then say higher loss for higher capital. I find your post contradicting so let's make this clear. Would you recommend a newbie to start testing live trading with $100 or a $100K?

They are true investors, they can spend such a huge amount because they know the capabilities of the market in the future. They are thinking about what will happen later, not just by today or tomorrow. They have the money, they also have the market advantage but wait, they also have a huge chance to lose if the market will collapse.
These small capital investors are just passing by that want to test the market shortly and if they don't understand, they simply quit. While those people who invested big capital are willing to stay no matter what will happen and gladly, most of them get their rewards in the end.

What I meant is that especially a newbie trader should not put any emphasis on how much capital he has at the beginning. In my opinion, beginners should start with paper trades anyway, and this over a period of months. The initial capital is therefore not important and no one should think that he must take a loan from the bank to start trading.

As a newbie you will most likely lose your capital to large parts (80% for example), one must already be aware of that. So if I start with 100k, then you can assume that 80k will be lost.

I think for beginners it is better to use a capital that is not too large. because it is like seeking experience and solving the problem. Therefore, after understanding and learning about the difficulty of trading, they can use large capital by already knowing the risks while learning to use small capital

Having Big capital supercede investors with small capital that might not be sufficient if the market goes contrary to one's trade or investment. Big capital absorbs market sentiment and market fall. This is the advantage of the whales against smaller investors who are in the market, making the change in trend to claim all their funds because the size if their accounts can not absorb the contrary moves.

It's very hard for accounts with large funds to make contact loses compared to the one with little funds that might not survive a little change in market trend. Small capital is the major problem of some investors making it look as if they are not good at analyzing the, creating consistent loses due to small differences in price of an instrument, creating inevitable loses.

Capital has a way of controlling your confidence while trading. A trader with small capital lets assume $100 would be scared of loosing $30 in a trade during retracement moves because he might not have enough courage to wait for a correction but a big account of lets say $1000 would possibly want to wait for a correction move most especially if such uses a smaller lot size because his account can carry the loss comfortably and still correct back to give profit if his analysis is right

There is no best between big and small, it just depends on your needs and abilities. Trade profit and loss rates will be fixed based on the size of your capital. It is best to start with small capital and grow big by itself without ever accumulating from external sources.


I don't understand what you mean by "limited choices", are you talking about diversification?

Indeed. If we have good skills in trading, we can use small or big capital to trade and have a bigger chance to make a bigger profit if we use big capital. But besides the skills and ability to trade, we should know that the market will always be volatile and no matter how good we trade or our skills, we can feel difficult to trade if the market moves randomly like today. So using a big capital will not always guarantee us to make a bigger profit. Maybe we need to take any profit that we can, even if that is a small profit.

Big fund allows traders flexibility and relaxibility, knowing they don't have to be longer in the market to meet a target. For instance a trader with a bare minimum to acquire just one BNB @ 300 will stay longer in trade to make enough that could be satisfying for them. The trader makes $40 if BNB price moves to $340. That could be 2 or 3 days to achieve. Whereas, it will take a trader who has around 10 BNB to make that same profit once BNB goes to $304 and that can be achieved within 30mins, and the trader exits the market with rest of mind a few hours of being in the trade.


Actually, the reverse is the case.

In my opinion a newbies trader shouldn't invest any money at all but should start with paper trades:


Using paper trades, you can practice the processes very easily and get a feel for the market relatively quickly. As soon as you feel confident, you can then set very small amounts and slowly increase them. It is importantly to say that switching from paper trades to Real money trades is not a matter of days but a matter of weeks - if not months.
  

Even though you had a big capital with you, that doesn't mean you're going to earn well in the future. Having a knowledge like a baby in trading wouldn't be effective if learnings won't work for you in times of difficulties. Bigger funds involved higher risk compared to smaller ones, so it's certain to just start small at first then eventually increase your capital when you're about to become an expert trader.

The higher the capital the more the risk personally it is advisable to start with small capital to test your skills and knowledge of trading or investment perhaps if the whole whole capital got rekted the trader will learn from his mistake due to lower risk involved however if trading with a big portfolio and all the capital ended up in a loss there might not a second chance in sourcing for another capital or the trader or investor might be bankrupted however starting small capital after becoming successful and earning profits consistently this will prompt the trader to gradually divert or move on to big funding all these will be accomplished after the trader had acquired some experience a gained with time.

Big capital and small capital in trading and investing in the crypto world is not a secret that must be hidden, but it is a public secret.

I think you are familiar with this phenomenon, something has happened in 2021, Elon did that and several other companies.

For that your chance to have a big profit of course must have a large capital, for example: Bitcoin is traded today on: 23-7-2021 with a value of: $32.442. you buy 5Btc, you wait for the value to rise to $35,442, sell.
Automatically you already have a profit: $ 15,000 x 5, that period in the form of large capital.

I would always prefer small bankroll when I am new to trading but once I am experienced, I would obviously like to have a bigger bankroll.

There are 2 reasons for it:
1- If the initial bankroll is smaller, I can trade with more freedom at my disposal and there is no threat subconsciously that I am taking a huge risk.

2- Once I am experienced by trading small amounts, I will have the confidence to do the same with more money and hence I would seek a bigger bankroll and wouldn't even hesitate to take loans if I feel that my trading is consistent and profitable and brings higher returns than the interest of the loan.

I agree with you, because for the minimum capital you have to run slowly on a secure network, ethereum and bitcoin, the right choice.  because if you take the wrong step to apply it to the icon, it seems too risky.  Speculation in the ICO is more suitable for professional traders who have large capital

There is a lot of things to be consider if you are going to trade with small or large capital as you start trading. If you have just n small capital to start trading, it will lower the risk of losing huge amount if ever your trading is not good. Small capital also good if you just starting to explore and gain knowledge on how to be a successful trader. Big amount of capital is good for those who have enough knowledge and trading because if your capital is big, the tendency is you also earn  huge profit.

This is the best strategy for those people that want to get into trading. Don't put all that you got if you want to enter trading. Just take steps through having a small capital and you have the goal by using that little capital. And that is to experience trading and learning what strategy is suited for your trading activity. I wouldn't advise to get into ICOs anymore, even it is new, they're not a thing anymore on these days and that's better if those people will just allocate the money in trading or put it simply in buying bitcoin.

As for me, it's not about the amount of capital but rather the basic knowledge that we know so we could do trading right. Yes, it's better to have smaller capital in the beginning as you do the actual trading as a newbie but if you adopt the strategies on how to deal with the market, then that's the time where you can use bigger capital. The amount is nothing if you don't have enough knowledge about trading.

Unless and until one has a best adviser or an experience trader with him or her to advice on where to invest the huge amount, do not go for it I would say. Its better to start with small investment. I would better say, start paper trading first. I mean, trade without money.

Take a paper, write down what coin you wish to trade. Note down at what price you buy the coin. Set up a sell order. Write down when and how much profit you earned. Note down the ups and downs you learnt on paper trading. Get in to real trade with money when you are confident enough.

Small capital = Less reward or profit / Less versality
Big capital = More reward/ Bigger versality on making positions
Risk=? All the same

You would really able to find out once you do able to experience and notice the difference on both situations.Small capital does have its pro's and big capital too.
Same goes for its con's.So it would always matter on how a certain trader or investor would do such trading since not all would be having the same
capacity or capability.

Big capital always help but what I mean by that isn't putting all eggs in one basket, most of people said that we should start with smaller capital to get used to the market but if we already able to manage Diversifying of our portfolio from the beginning I think using big capital will bring no problem. It's all about how we manage ourninvestment and also managing risk. Being experienced with small capital first will go to waste if we instead choose mmee coin for investment since the risk is too high. That's why the key is investment management.

Maybe not worked like that. Small capital is used if you really need to be safe, or maybe not have much preparation in trading or maybe to get an experience or maybe to learn more about trading and it's strategy, big capital is good as long you really prepared and already know basic strategy in trading or maybe how to minimize losses so you ready if anything unexpected thing happen.

It all depends on your experience in the first place.
Beginners should always start small, while the goal should not be to make money quickly, but to make high-quality and therefore slow.
The deposit should be perceived as a percentage, in which case it does not matter how small it is.

Whether it is small capital or big, you need to find the right choice of investment. There are people who are successful with very minimal investment. It is our learning that makes it happen. Big capital investors can make profit with the market fluctuation whereas small capital investors need to have very precise analysis to make the best out of it.

When you're new to the market, you can start with small investment. Because, starting directly with huge investment is high risk involved.

Start in a small amount and gradually add more is the best step to do. But what is commonly happening these days is that many had come and invested in big amounts thinking that they can make money easily because they are investing more. Well, that seems right but if this will be our first entry, with not enough background knowledge about trading that will become a challenge and might catch us into mistakes.

The answer is Both Valid.

Small Capital - usually for those beginners or those who are not risk taker in which their capital is Limited and wanted to make sure that the currency they are investing is Legit and wont take their money out.

Big capital - is for the people who has been experienced and knows what they are doing , Usually those people with great knowledge in Technical Analysis and can risk for longer investment.

Your very first few trades should be a practice (like testing to see) which strategy best works for you and these trades should be with minimum funds that won't cause much loses and probably discourages you from going further in trading. You shouldn't follow what others are saying, choose what best works for you. Some traders aren't good at picking the low cap coins as each time they do, they pick the wrongs ones but are very good with high cap coins so they tend to give the advice of going for the high cap.

This doesn't mean that low cap coins aren't profitable but just that they're not favoured ito that particular traders. You don't have to follow their advice without having to test this yourself to see what best works for you. Pick trades in low cap coins and also high cap coins. This should be multiple trades and with time you'll find which best works for you.

Same goes for trading with high or low capital, some traders begin to loss it when the risk is high but when they have it under control they trade perfectly. Don't go for high risk if you know you won't be able to keep cool when the volatility of the market makes you loss thousands without few bad minute of the market.

It's quite simple.

If the amount is big then the profit/loss is also comparatively big.
If the amount is small then the profit/loss is also small.

Why many people suggest to start with a small amount is because being a beginner we tend to make many mistakes.
This is why we tend to lose a lot in the beginning. If the amount is small we would obviously lose a small amount.
Money management is the same whether or not the amount is big or small. So I believe starting with a small amount is preferable if you are completely a beginner to trading.
You can gradually increase the amount when you get a good experience in trading.

Seriously in Cryptocurrency as a beginner I believe is better you alwa start with little capital. Cryptocurrency is not really the way people think so is better you invest little amount to start trading to have some experience in trading  as a beginner is better to lose little amount than you losing hug amount. But if you are use to trading already I believe you can invest any amount you wish because I believe by then you are already use to the system already.

That is still not small "capital", it is still a big capital that you use only a small portion for a while then slowly using more and more of it. The capital here means that if you have less amount or big amount I believe, because in small amounts you could go crazy and do things that a big capital person can't do.

Like for example Tesla has 1.5 billion dollars in bitcoin, so that means if they end up buying a coin outside of top 100 that means they will own more than half of it and increase the price of it insanely, which they won't, but a guy with 500 bucks can do that easily, and if he loses then it is 500 bucks and even if you are in a bad country it is not that impossible to work online for freelancing and make that back, even if it takes a year. I do prefer a big capital that you use small by small though, that is a good idea to have and easier to move.

I would suggest at a start you don't just start with a big capital because you might blow it up, it depends actually! If you must have been well educated about crypto and also learnt about risk management then you can start with big funds to maximise your profits. As a beginner with little knowledge it's better to start small and build up because it will help to gather much experience without loosing much and even if an account is been blown off you can easily fund and continue and make sure to correct your mistakes.

If you have little idea about crypto it is best to start with a small amount of capital at first must learn about the market and gradually increase the capitals. Moreover you need to develop your creative ideas over time you have to do it based on your own experience and even if it is a loss you have to correct it and move on to the next step improve your network always conduct business honestly.

There's no doubt that a bigger capital helps you trade with more stability, confidence and even helps you plan a backup in case some trades go wrong. But that said, I sometimes feel that traders with smaller capital find an excuse for capital and hide their inability to understand the bitcoin market.

Small traders usually go for altcoins trading because the chances of high profit/loss exist more in altcoins than bitcoins but if only they work on earning consistently than aiming for humongous profits with a single coin, it will not just help them build their capital slowly but will also prepare them mentally by the time they have big capital.

Manging a big capital isn't as easy as it might look from the outside. With a large amount of funds comes a huge responsibility to not lose them and hence constraint to trade freely.

I think the notion is quite clear, to be successful in trading you have to start with a small capital, small enough that if you lose all of it you aren't much bothered because trust me if you didn't blow up your first account you really haven't learnt trading until now. But when it comes to making money from trading, or earning enough money to support a living from trading then obviously you need somewhat larger funds to ensure that you get a good 10% return a month on your money and make a living from it.

Work with the capital that you have, trade the money you can afford to lose. For me, capital is a big thing because that determines on how much money you can possibly earn, the higher the capital the better but if you are still not good in trading, I suggest as well a small capital first because as a newbies you’ll experience many mistakes in trading.

Not all would really be the same in terms of capital capacity which simple mean it would really differ into each other.Bigger capital doesnt always  mean about getting more chance
of profits.

Of course it would still be varying on how you do trade even if you do have just small capital but doesnt mean that you cant make it bigger.It all matters with consistency and
sustainability.

If you do know on what you are doing then capital wont really be that much of an issue.

There is no dispute in this and I think their should be no need to split funds to trade because of fear or phobia of getting loses. A true trader is always prepare for the worse and this most time trigger the confidence of a trade to finally end in profit without having a change of mind. Trading requires skills not just huge amount that can be lose within minutes in trading if the trader does not understand the system.

Sometimes a trade does not need a huge amount of money for one have good profits. Everything starts from small, how you can manage a small capital and build it to a large amount definitely increasing perfection and good trading psychology. I'll will rather get a small capital and raise it to a substantial level which is better than, using large funds to trade and definitely losing it because good trades are not based on amount of money used.

That's a really good idea. Having a good capital is good to ensure that trading activities go on properly without any  hassle or issues. But I'd say the size of the capital matters but to an extent because I've seen people who used small-medium sized trading balances to earn a ton of huge profits and also people with huge capital but only make little to no profits to complement their capital size.

At the end of the day, having good trading skills (TA, FA, research, etc) should be the primary focus. Capital is secondary.

Capital has a big role when we are talking about trading which means that more capital, more profit. There are many people who ask why they can't make a huge profit? But to reason out, what we could expect for a $100? Maybe if that is $1,000, it gonna be enough to see huge returns but of course, we also have a huge possible amount to lose if ever.

Well, not all just lies on capital and you are right, TA and some sort of market analysis give a huge impact on the results of our trading and this will have to work together.

Although the amount of capital provides a large enough role to get a large profit as well, the risks that must be faced are also much greater.
Therefore, for beginners, it is not recommended to start with large capital, because the risk is very high, it is better to start with small capital.
Small capital can actually generate large profits, but it requires a good strategy and patience. Usually most people are impatient and want to
get big profits in the near future, so they dare to use large capital for trading. Some people even use borrowed money from banks for trading,
because they are obsessed with big profits. Even though this will only cause problems later on. I prefer to use capital in accordance with
the financial capabilities of each of us. It must be remembered that there is no instant profit in trading, everything needs a process and we have
to be patient through the process.

I mean, there is no way you can actually compare a small capital to a huge one! No, come on!! What would be the point or bone of contentment here???
It just doesn't go. In many ways, huge capitals are always going to be of advantage than the sma capitals. Especially in the life of a trader. Be you a day scalpper, day trader, position trader, swing trader and all. Having a large or huge capital is of a certain advantage.

1. It gives you the mind to actually pick up a trade not knowing whatbthe next few seconds holds
2. It gives you the courage to enter a trade with a some worth weighty lot size that could bring you real profit and vice versa
3. It could wait put the storms in the market etc.

So, there are really more to gain from having a huge profit than small ones.

You won't see the advantage of going into trade with funds you won't panic when the market goes the other way until the losses comes. There's a certainty in trading that every traders has to accept. You can't win always, there'll be days you'll lose but what matters is what you learn from those losses instead of the money lost. You ability to learn from the losses you encounter and use the lesson gotten to improve yourself is what makes you a professional trader.

Capitals under your control (small capital) can be at advantage as it reduced your chances of losing much in a trade if it goes wrong. The disadvantage to this is that it reduces your profitability returns in a situation the trades are a success. If you believe you're good at trading and can carryout multiple trades simultaneously without losses then you can go in with capitals that won't mean much if you lose them but can give you some decent profit if the trades turns out to be successful.

It doesn't really matter if you will be starting with a small or big capital because your ultimate goal is still to make that money of yours gain profit that it why you are risking to put it up into a trade or investment opportunity. Starting with small or big capital needs the user to be able to manage his funds briefly and carefully to attain the goal of earning profit and as much as possible lessen the probability of obtaining losses than gains. The difference would just be the amount of return because when you invest/trade using small amount and that have gained success, you will just earn small compared to having big capital where you can obtain bigger amount.

With proper risk management, small capital can be used for trading and make a reasonable profit with time, but when there is mismanagement and the desire to make the big tons at once, then the close end of blowing up the entire account is not far. Though, when we say small capital, it actually depends on what you in person call small, what you want to go into the market with can buy you that you need, and with preference, you can get the ones of more interest and see how it goes.
As one grows up and keeps following things on, more knowledge is attained over time, so, I believe that risk management or money management is a very important tool to be properly used in any trading market.

Well the point depends on our level of mastery of trading, the more we master things related to trading more deeply.. it will make it easier to take steps when small capital let alone large capital.
And sometimes because of limited money, it doesn't harm if we take steps with small capital, this can still make a profit, we don't have to force ourselves to have big capital, the important thing is that we can keep learning and observe more deeply related to the steps as well as strategies as good traders.

Although I agree with you, I must say that small capital is just not worth trading with. I will give a few reasons for it.

- You will never have the confidence of doing trades because you don't have the capital to fall on for your mistakes.

- If you trade too small, you might wonder whether it's the right utilization of your time or not. Spending the whole day in front of your computer only to earn a few dollars isn't worth it IMHO.

I mean, I am not encouraging people to take loans and go big but at least ensure the time you spend on your trading is getting you something fruitful.

But that will still go through a long time even if you're very good in trading, that small capital will still be tough to grow.

That's why those wise traders are going with as much as they can because they understand that the lesser capital that you've got, your potential profit is going to be low too despite how very good you are as a trader.

I can clearly understand your mentality on this.
But yes it depends on situations.
Not all can afford large capital while trading.
Moreover if there is small capital and chances of loss, then only small loss will be occurred.
If at that time we have large capital then we might be broke if we face loss.

Who is there to assess what small or big an investment is? These are all different for different people.

In terms of fees those are not huge, so one should not limit their trade based on this false concept, though which exchange you use for trading does make a difference.

Yeah, more importantly we must work with what we have on our hands. Dreaming about a big capital even if it is advantageous in trading isn't going to get you a big capital, working towards it with what you have is what will help you achieve it.

Adaptability is one of the most important attributes for a trader and the one who adapts with what he has and works towards what he needs will go the farthest. Daydreaming about a bigger capital and avoiding trading with what we already have is sort of the worst mentality and attitude a trade can have. This mentality is more attributed to gamblers than traders.

if you're a beginner then you should start with small capital coz on that case you don't know yet how the real trading will work. Actually its been the common suggestion even here in forum to avoid losses huge loss for beginners and probably it's based on their experience as well. As the matter of fact it happened to me tbh and it really makes me feel uncomfortable coz i thought i'm ready for the real trading but i was wrong after losing 30% of my capital. So it's good to start with small..

However if you already have an experience then it's up to you if you want small or big capital to trade.. But for me IMO if you want to do shorting then it's good to trade with big capital in order to receive a good profits also coz if you trade small for shorting it's like your wasting your time.

Of course, it is easier to make money on a trade with large capital, but of course the risks on large capital are also great, it depends more on the trader, there are traders who accelerate their capital from $ 100 to unprecedented heights without making great efforts coming from the stock markets.

trade and invest is not a math that only numbers are involved but a person that do it also must have other qualities like being smart , less emotional , have a patience (just to name a few ) and the logic was simple , more capital you put in is equals to more risk but the lesser capital can also equate to a lesser risk  .
usually when we are beginners we have less knowledge so we are prone to risk , we might need to start small and only upgrade if we are ready .

Everytime it won't be the easier thing to make money out of large capital, because market can change towards any direction in no time. When we get into the market with small capital we need the patience to hold for a much longer time period to profit from the same. Stocks doesn't provide the profit as cryptocurrency trading, because volatility can't be found to be same as crypto.

There are some misconception between big and small capital on where there are people whom do really believe that profit chance is way more than when you do have bigger capital which is very wrong.

The odds or chance on making profits will not vary with those factors but would rather be focusing on how you do trade,even if you do have small capital but if you are good with trading then you would

really have the chance on making it bigger and also bigger capital could really make that advantage when it comes to bigger position but not an assurance thing to look upon.

For a start it's always recommended to start with little funds so as not to blow up big amounts so easily, the more the newbie advance the more the capital will be increased as he keeps making progress, after learning fully then he can use a huge funds because it's certain he knows how to minimise loss and maximise profits at this point. Broadly in crypto or any other trading it's good to start up with a little amount to reduce the level of risk.

I think risk is the same its just with bigger capital there is bigger losk but talking about percentage it's more or less the same however people with big capital also probably have higher tolerance with the amount they loss. But yeah, small capital does not mean we just gonna stuck at the bottom, if we are smart enough to always get ahead the market ee can turn it into bigger capital, it will rewuire a lot time but slowly and steady it could grow, though speaking is easy I guess, its harder when we actually put some effort and action.

I honestly believe that small capital should be going for top coins as well, that is the only way to make sure you can grow your small capital while not losing it. When you have a big capital you can leave a small portion of it to risky stuff and if you lose it then you could still end up with rest of your money that you can work with, which is why it is not really that much of a big deal. However when you have a small capital then you have to use every single cent of that into things that are less risky and you need to buy the top coins to make sure you are making a decent amount of profit.

Definitely with small capital it sounds like "you will only lose 100 bucks it is not a big deal" to many people but that 100 bucks is obviously the only money that person has saved for investment, which is why buying some small useless coin is not a good idea for that person.

Big capital has a high advantage of we have a big capital we can devide it to buy or trade different kinds of promising or top coins without any hesitation. While if we only have small capital we can only invest or trade a few kind of coins. That is why people who are already rich become more richer because they are not afraid to trade or buy different kinds of coin they have money and they can hold for a long time bacause they have funds and they are financially free.

Huge capital wil surely gain higher profit but in reality it goes along with much bigger risk if compared to small capital. However, if you knew how to run your trading at the beat that you can do I am confident that nothing will happen bad in the long run because you're going to manage it well so you don't lose everything. If a newbie who just started without any further awareness here in trading, 100% he'd putting himself to hell if nobody will guide him on handling the asset that he's going to trade.

As long as you start investing and trading, that’s fine no matter how big or small your capital because sooner or later once you know how to trade, you capital will grow. The market is very volatile, don’t focus on your capital focus instead on doing trades according to your strategy, and don’t listen to any hype so you won’t get FOMO and you wont loose your capital that easily.

Exactly, we can spread to more coins and these most investors did. They take this advantage in order not to lose their money if there is a worse market decline as they still have a chance to carry over with the other coin. Market gains are also huge compared to small capital but possible big losses will also happen to them if they got a mistake on their trades. But I believe that they are much prepared and expert in trading that is the reason why they invested a lot of money.

Yes I agree with you. Indeed, the size of each person is different in calling the size of the capital. The owner of large funds can call small funds within his limits and vice versa. But in trading maybe this is often referred to as Whale and others. In trading I've read that. There are groups of owners of funds in trading. But I forgot what another name for the classification of ownership of funds in crypto.

You should in any case have the option to average a decent pace of return whether your equilibrium is enormous or little. on the off chance that you utilize little capital obviously you will be more unwind to put in purchase and sell request since you wouldn't too stress if your choice is bogus. Turning into a decent dealer is troublesome and very few individuals can do that and there are numerous things to get ready before you can work on your abilities.

In case you are utilizing little capital, your danger won't be enormous and in the event that you lose in exchanging, your misfortunes won't be greater while you actually find out about exchanging. On little capital then you would truly don't make any difference much when you do lose which essentially suggests that you are somewhat certain equivalent goes with greater capital

Starting with a small or big capital is not really the problem here. The real problem is the level of expertise the trader has in trading. If one is just starting out trading and still isn't sure of his strategies,  it is advisable to begin trading with a small capital. That way, you wouldn't lose much if things go south.
Trading with big capital is the best provided the trader is knowledgeable and experienced and isn't just testing out the waters. With big capital, you can make more money or profits compared to trader with low capital.

Useless indeed if you dont know on how to trade in the first place.It doesnt matter if its big or small the most important thing is that you do know on what you are doing.

When you do already know on how to trade then this is where capital would really be a serious thing and this is where you do think neither you do make use of bigger capital

for versatility or would make use of small once on testing out and do find out some rhythm before going all in.

that kind of thing rarely happen and we shouldn't only rely on those, although there's always possibility but most of coins that pump that high also probably have manipulation of market going on. but i think if someone have small capital then they usually gonna find investment that gonna give big return, after all a small capital will only let us lose small amount of money.

Dude, the size of your capital doesn't change the size of the danger. It's the size of what you risk in proportion to what you don't risk. Which is where the adage comes that "Never invest more than you're willing to lose".

If you deposit X amount, then be prepared to lose it. How big or small that X is doesn't change that the entire amount is not in danger of getting lost.

Starting with big capital may lead to disasters even you are able to manage it. I mean managing your funds is not a single day task; even you manage your capital one day effectively if you fail in one day or other then your capital will hit zero hence starting with small fund may help you to avoid disasters and will evolve you to be a pro trader in long run.

Size of your risk will grow along with your size of capital but it MAY not diminish when you are downsizing your capital. The only solution here is, we must increase our capital along with our experiences.

For me the only difference in small and big capital is how fast the profits and ROI come in. Think about it, what small capital can make in a year could be just one day, one week or one month depending on how big the big capital is, that is if we assume that both capital are always profiting at a constant number.

Obviously, the more your capital, the less market volatility will affect you, but your waste and risks increase in proportion to the amount of funds.

For example, with a large deposit, you can lose a lot of money on commissions, and with a bad market, you will lose a lot on transactions.

In general, large deposits are not for beginners.

If you are a newbie and you want to do trading you need only a small capital because you don't have an experience yet, you need only a small capital because you are in the starting point and you have a big possibility of losing than gaining you are in a learning stage so you are in favor of losing and using a small capital will reduce the risk, however it is still depend on you because there are also trader that didn't loss on trading or somewhat like what we called lucky or maybe born as a natural trader, experience is important so even if you failed just continue.

I kinda disagree with your statement.

I think the key factor in trading/investing is knowing which coin to invest on. From this alone, this implies endless amounts of research on the part of the investor since the goal here is to reduce the risks of the possibility of losing your investment. Regardless if you have a small or a big capital, your mindset should always stay the same.


I think it also depends on the individual's capital to begin with. Personally, there are some people that I know who are beginners but they started trading/investing with a large capital. But like what I previously mentioned, it required them to study and to research about the market situation in order to reduce the possibility of losing their investment for short-term.

Start with small capital when you are just starting because you are still on the phase of familiarizing even with the slightest indicators or terms which would be needed into your trading career.
Big capital is only on the time when you do already familiarize on what you've been doing but to think that this wont really be giving some guarantee that you could really make sure profits.
Odds are still the same but since you already have experience then it is really totally different when you are already knowledgeable.
You would know the difference of having big and small capital.

It will still affect you with the market's volatility.

But we both do agree that with such amounts, it's not for every newbie because it's risky for them and that's what they should study first and make a decent strategy through depositing with smaller amounts.

It suits them as they start.

it is better to understand it first before deciding to trade or invest. especially for beginners who have little capital. but in my opinion even if he is a beginner if he invests in the long term, I don't think it will be a problem, as long as he knows the risks to volatility that can affect a person's psychology. especially in the current conditions, of course investing will minimize risk and of course by choosing the coin with the largest capitalization

Trading, like investing, is important to know how to calculate probabilities and manage risk.  Consider high volatility situations that accompany panic.  It is best to learn to crawl before learning to walk.  Even though I've had big losses for 2 days today.  Lol, when trading small/large funds, the difference is in enduring the pressure between loss forming in thought.  Forgetting pressure is a lesson I'm trying to learn

Is the first line is true then both big and small capitals can be worked with. The only difference will be that the total valuation of the portfolio will vary. But all good things have to start out small and the terms small and big are relative. It depends on what you consider as big or small.

If you ask me, a trader should start with a capital no less than 1k USD.

Capital will also not factor in if you are investing in shitcoins - do that and you will see the gradual devaluation of your portfolio be it small or big. But putting in bitcoin at low price and avoiding altcoins altogether will have better outcomes. Of course for seasoned altcoin traders, feel free to ignore my rambling.

Capital should therefore not be considered as the biggest outcome determinant of speculative trading but along with proper backing of market research and some insight.

I guess we both understand risk differently then. Risk does not change if you put $1 or $100 on an outcome (unless you're talking about billions in which case slippage risk is a factor). You still have the same risk no matter the size of your capital, from a retailer point of view.

I guess this is why I'm not a trader and loads of people on this forum are since we really understand these fundamentals differently!

calculating probability in our trades really help us to get best result in every trades. No matter how much our balance in trading  account , but when we could make profit probability bigger than loss  so in this level we will growth our money. Our experience will determine our level while analizeing market to identity loss or profit probability in trade that we will open. 

In the case of a skilled trader, small or large capital only reduces the amount of profit or loss. However, small and large capital certainly has some advantages and disadvantages. In the case of new traders, large capital can cause more losses. Money management is considered to be the best way for new learners to master the subject of small capital money management. Which helps a skilled trader to reduce the number of losses in large capital and make more profit. In the case of large capital, it is possible to average the total assets by dividing the total assets into smaller parts and purchasing them from different locations at low speed in the market. In the case of small capital that does not work emotionally. So the mental endurance and emotion of a trader create some advantages and disadvantages for small and large capital.

Favoring experienced traders in this point, as they can utilize the usages of their funds.

You explained and give hints and following your point, with new traders having huge amount of capital leads them to a risky situation as if emotions beats them the chance to lose big portions of those capital is very possible, and in the other side,  experienced traders who use small capital are capable to grow their money in a shortest span of time.

I prefer small capital for the beginners because it is trading and it is upon the trader that how can he manage himself and what did he want for himself? If he want to earn more and the capacity of loss then he should use big capital. And for beginners, I prefer small capital.

Capital is a thing you'll need to consider upon starting, either it was small or big capital that was it depends on your capability and your choice. If you will use a small amount as you are afraid to lose it all, that is still the right decision. Perhaps, that was most advice as a beginner.
Well, if we are already prepared enough and have fully understood that market it was best to increase our capital as this could help us to generate more profit but, the risk of losing more is a thing that we can't just simply set aside.

Large capital equities are typically thought to be more cautious than small capital or midcap stocks, providing less risk in return for less aggressive growth potential. Large capital are more established, and as a result, they are less volatile during downturn markets as investors seek safety and reduce risk. Investors may find small and mid capital stocks to be less expensive than large capital stocks, but smaller equities have higher price volatility.

Actually big or small capital depends on how you manage it. But if you are still a beginner I suggest starting with small capital. At least you can know and practice using strategies in cryptocurrency. In addition, if suddenly you experience a loss it does not take a lot of money. but keep in mind again that if a Small capital will give you a small risk and a small profit as well, and vice versa if you have a large capital there will be a big risk and the profit is also big. The important thing is that you have to really believe in yourself and understand cryptocurrency before you jump into it so you don't take the wrong step.

It all depends upon the trader that how much he has the capacity to lose and is he emotionally stable or not? For example if a trader has more money and he can invest without any hesitation. So, this will be done with big capital as it will give the trader more profit. But if a trader don't have that much then he should be starting with a small capital.

I prefer small capital to start trading for newbies because they have to know about the trading strategies and they also can learn a lot even from their small capital of investment. But they should learn some basic strategies of trading and also they can watch some tutorials on youtube as well.

Rightly said! As a newbie trading with big capital they won't be exposed to the fact they can likely loose everything, and since it's a big capital there might not be cautios and keep repeating same mistakes due to the fact the capital is big they would just keep trying often and often not identifying the actual cause of thier lose, but a little makes a newbie more cautios and would likely learn about risk management quickly because he wouldn't want to blow up his account so soon.

That's the ideal for a newbie traders given that they already have an adequate experience and knowledge in trading, that's the way it should start and if they can grow that and they become really good with trading, they can start risking a bit more bigger funds to try and make more profit.

Small capital = small gains
Big capital = huge gains

Well, that it really matters to you and how much money that you can afford to lose if got wrong. But if you are afraid of the risk and let say we are just about to start, my advice is to start with small capital. This is a sort of familiarizing the market, as we don't need more of gaining experience. In fact, we can have more funds when we are already enough to take more risks. As I could say that losing big amounts is really hurt, so if we can't take this, maybe we have to stick at the small one because that is only the amount to afford.

sometimes new trader asking regarding capital, small capital and big capital there of course impact will be different.
new comer should start with small capital because they never control big capital,
even an emotion will different in small and big capital.
as opposed to experienced traders won't feel good with small capital.

 

If you are new to crypto market then you should have less capital because this will help you to understand how does this market works and as soon as you gain experience then you can bring more money into your wallet for trading.

As a beginner trader, its of little advantage to trade with huge funds. Having a huge capital is good and have its edge in the market but as for a beginner trader, it's got some disadvantages. It makes you to be comfortable in a bad trade because, your capital makes it look as though, you ain't loosing much even when it's quite obvious that you are but, you just don't see it. Hence, you don't know when or how to secure your trade in contrast to having a small capital. When you've got small capitals on you, the one priority you've got beside making profit is to not lose from a trade, at least not all your funds. To archive this, you would do your best to be on point with your analysis and picking what you might have seen to be the best trades and should it be wrong, you would know how to protect it.

The point is that when we trade with large capital, then our opportunity to get more profits is more than if we trade with small capital, but of course the risk is also greater.
But actually we can also get big profits with small capital, if in trading we are always profitable and right in choosing coins. Because In Crypto trading there are several factors that influence success, including capital, trading knowledge and experience. 
And for those who are still beginners in trading Crypto, it is recommended to use small capital first.

Well, this is true of course, --if you put a huge capital it could be the result of a huge gain after all. Buat in trading it need not be greedy, it does not matter if you will earn a small profit each trading as long as it is successively will happen. We must always think that trading is very risky if we put a huge capital make it sure that is the amount is what you can afford. Not all traders need up with a huge gain, most of them suffered from huge losses. I have rather choose small losses but it gains me more experience in trading which is if next time will happen at least you know already.

Yeah it does depend all the time but to now that there are people who does have bigger capital do still make use of smaller lot sizes or position or trade amounts which it do result into smaller amounts of profits too
despite on having a bigger capital.Not all could really risk up that high because whenever on making some risk trading decision then it would vary or do talk about bigger capital been used.

You could really tell the differences but we know that not all will really be that the same in terms of capacity in financial aspect so we would really see different scenarios on here.

At the end of the day, it was still matters on the strategy we use in order to make a good profit. May had a big capital has its advantage as we can spread and buy more different coins but the risk of losing it all due to our wrong market decision is yet to be possible. But I believe someone who put huge amount is already of the situation and I think they know already their capabilities because as they traded this money it means that they are willing to take the risk and so to lose it as well.

I just tell people that it goes down to how much they can afford. That I am using an amount that might seem small to you doesn’t mean that you’re also going to make use of that same amount, you can decide to be making use of huge amount of money to be trading. It is all about what you have, if you have a lot of money and you’re sure that investing big funds won’t be a problem to you when the market goes down, then you can go ahead with that. And like I said, you can have up to one million dollars in your bank account and be able to invest twenty thousand dollars. Don’t expect someone that has only ten thousand dollars in their account to invest the same, they will have to cut their coat according to their cloth.

As a trader, it's always good to start small to big.

Starting with a small capital will only give you a little risk, you might make more mistakes being a newbie but eventually, you'll learn, and as you feel you are confident enough and you believe that you can be profitable, that's the start to increase your capital. Also, it's necessary that you will be honest with yourself, identify your mistakes so you learn and improve.

No, it goes down with the level of their knowledge and amount they can afford to lose but it is never a good idea for crypto investors or traders to copy the amount someone invested. However, small or big capital is not important and what's important is making a profitable investment.

Making money is important, I agree. But time is virtual money and if you are spending all day trading and causing damage to your eyes, at least make sure you are trading with enough capital that you make a good amount in return. If you are trading with $100 and earning $1 daily, no matter how good you are at trading .. you are essentially wasting your time.

Although yes, maybe all this experience gained from trading minuscule amounts will help you once you start trading with real capital. But not everyone has the source for such capital so if you are trading small amounts for educational purposes, fine. But if you believing that earning a dollar daily is doing any good to you, I am afraid it's not most likely.

Everything should be balanced and never to past exceed into your limitations and don't really abuse your body because we know that health is wealth and once you had compromised your health
then this is where bigger problem do arise.

Small capital and Big capital does really have some differences when it comes to versatility of your trading positions but it doesn't mean that smaller one wouldn't stood a chance.

It will always vary on how someone would able to handle up his finances and had some proper risk management and fund handling since everyone could really be entirely different.

This is true, small capital can grow fast in trading if someone is skilled in trading and have good management, although with big capital people can have more profit but with small capital it can still have the chance to make profit just like people with big capital and if the profit someone get from trading with small capital is used for growing their capital, surely it can help to grow the capital as well.
There are many successful people starting with small capital in investment and successfully grow their capital at the end.

If you’re planning on short term trading than small cap coins but high hype is best choice and can give you maximum ptofit. For long term big capital coin like Eth,Ada is best, don’t really matter as much as volatility. But remember Just buy low, sell high, repeat until you’re wealthy.

I think small or large cap will just depend on how you manage it. Some people suggested to start on a small capital, yes maybe we need to start on a small capital especially when you begin in cryptocurrency trading to gain knowledge and experiences about this because market condition is not that stable, there is always changes in prices but it doesn't matter if we start on small or large cap as long as we manage it in a nice way and it is in the hands of right people, even it is small cap, you will earn big profits but if it is in the hands of wrong people, even you invested in a large cap and you already have lots of experiences, you may suffer losses. It's about how you manage it, not about how small or large your capital is.

whether small or large capital, I think it depends on our trading goals whether it will be short term or long term. for small capital, I think short-term trading is more suitable, because it will grow our money faster, but it must have knowledge. and for large capital I think it is more flexible, because we can choose both

Yeah, and a smart trader will turn his small capital into a big one while a bad one will just do the opposite of it.

I don't see a problem making small but consistent amounts of profits by trading known pairs like BTC-ETH or ETH-USD.

"I wish I had a big bankroll" is just an excuse every newbie or inexperienced trader satisfies their ego with. If you cannot make profits with a small bankroll where you don't worry before taking some bold decisions, then surely you will never make profits with a big bankroll either.

Of course before starting to trade we must have a strategy and what to do in the future,
indeed by having large capital we can freely trade,
but what you have to realize is that it doesn't mean when we have big capital we will be successful easily

If someone aims to make trading their daily income, then the small and big capital depends on the country where they live. For example, $10 000 will be more than enough if person can make 5% of capital (in some countries you can live very well with monthly $500 salary) but in usa, some people may spend $500 in some days because the cost of living there is huge and so is the expenses because of higher quality of life too.

Small capital can also be in long term.

It doesn't mean you only have small capital and you're only capable of doing short term. We can take the example of those people who have made a lot with bitcoin.

They invested little and then got lucky when the price of bitcoin increased because they held for long term.

There are two possibilities for newbie and for top traders too, one is that newbie should start with a small capital as they didn't have that much experience about trading, and second one is that good traders should invest big capital as their will be more chances earning great profits with that  big capital , the more you invest, as a result you can earn more.

Investing with having a small capital is quite beneficial but for small term coins and i can say in another words day trading, because in day trading there is more chances of getting loss. So, big capital you can invest in long term coins as there is low chances of getting loss. In my opinion it is the difference.

IMO, it has the same chances, depending on how you manage your investment as it mostly relies on your skills. The logic here is, risk big so you'll get a bigger return, risk small and you'll get a small return, that if your investment will succeed and you'll experience the opposite if you fail.

An investor with a good long-term plan will build his journey from small capital to big capital, that is provided the journey is positive.

I believe that there is not much difference with how much money to start trading cryptocurrencies. If you know how to trade and make money on trading, then you can earn both with little money and with big money, the difference will be only in the amount of profit received. But if you are not a pro in trading, then it is probably best to start with just a small amount of money, since while you gain experience, you have the opportunity to lose part of your funds.

In big capital, traders will invest more money and will face huge lose. The risks related to big capital are more as compared to small capital. In small capital the benefits are fewer and the loose is also small.  Investors in Big capitals will have greater achievement.

there is no difference between large capital and small capital. what makes the difference is how the trading management system and management as well as the skills of the traders are. because I think that's the most important thing. does not guarantee that large capital is always in the top position and small capital is always in the top position. everyone has their own moment in trading

I really agree with this, if we are new, it is better to trade with small capital. Because we are likely to trial and error, learning by doing.
Although we have been learning at first, when it is a starting trading, we sometimes need learning by doing. And we can save our money with that small amount.
I know that some newbies will not think like this, because some of them may only think about taking big profits qucikly. But, it can't. We must be aware at first that trading may give you profits, but don't think about big profits at first or you will lose more.
And if we have been enough for learning by experience, we can increase the capital due to the times.

The amount of profit earned depends not only on small and large capital but also on the expertise of the trader in operating it. Especially if someone is just starting to trade, it's a good idea to use a small capital first so that if there is a loss they don't lose too much money. A small amount of capital, if handled well, will take a long time to produce and continue to grow, so for those of you who only have a little capital, don't be discouraged. Stay optimistic and enthusiastic.

Even though it's a small or big capital there's a risk, no matter how much do you have still the end of the day you are the one who holds the money, but the leverage and take the buy and sell button. This is the reason why we need to learn first the essentials of trading before doing an actual trade. Many ads telling that they can earn money with the use of trading and like it's an easy thing but in reality, this is one of the hardest decisions it's the battle of mental ability.

I will have to disagree on this statement.

Starting with a big fund is considerably risky given the amount of funds/capital you enter in the market. The slightest increase/decrease on the price of cryptocurrency can either make or break your trading experience. Always start low if you can and gain experience on trading. That is what separates an experienced trader to a newbie trader- the knowledge and information you gain while trading cryptocurrencies.

Small cap vs larger cap and short term vs long term - we are talking about four possibilities here. :D

The best thing is to divide the capital big or small, into long term and short term investments. The amount of capital is not important in my opinion. As long as you are having a specific goal towards the specific investments you should be doing good.

It is a wrong step to consider that a large capital means you can take more risk - you will likely be playing an unsafe game. Instead divide whatever capital you have. And dont think about going for altcoins, when I say to diversify it mean to go for things other than crypto, namely fiat markets.
