For beginners i suggest put only a small amount since you don't have enough knowledge on trading. Trading is a risky game. You have to know everything on that field to minimize that risk and be able convert it to profits. Just add some Btc to your capital if you think you can handle the risk. Me at my first trade. I only use small amount(.01 BTC to be exact) just to experience how to trade. Luckily, my trade was successful and it doubled my capital. Then i loss everything and i stopped because i just lose my capital coz i was greedy. So i save some BTC to trade again. This is the lesson I've learned from my past trades. Don't let your emotion drive you.

[allthingsluxury]

Remember that trading is incredibly risky. HODL has proven over time to be the best method. However, if you do want to day trade, the answer is simple. Only use what YOU can afford to lose. Nothing more.

[DaMut]

there are no specific numbers for how much it will be,
because everything is depend on the trader themself,most of them[expert] can change their $100 into $10.000,
and a lot of people[beginner and semi intermediete] turned their $10.000 into $100.
so it's not about how much it will be but instead how is your trading method and strategy.
the best way to earn is holding,
you will see a lot of experts say something like this

I get much money from day trade,but most of my profit did not come from it but instead it came from holding it[Long Term]

but you can not randomly holding something,you need to do your own research and make your own goal and mission.
you can find a lot of undervalued coin out there,you need to discover it and trust it.
do not believe what people say to you,always do your own research

how long it will be ? days,weeks,months,years ? Nobody knows,set your own time and make your calculation based on your research.

[richierich]

Its appreciated to begin with small amount as need more experience to pump in more. Educate yourself as much as you can before pitching into it please. Consult with more experts in trading if you are about to invest more on it without knowing anything. This will help you be more steady in trading and earning more bitcoins via trading. 

[MissionPhailed]

What is a good amount? If you want to trade for a living, your starting capital should ideally be worth at least several thousands of USD.
But as sort of said above; the less experienced you are, the lower the amount of your starting capital should be. Did my first trade myself in the spring of 2013 with 15 euros / 0,58BTC and lost 90% within hours because I was a complete rookie. Also, 'slow' trading (on a weekly or monthly base instead of daily) probably results in more profits / less losses and is less stressfull at the same time!

It's up to the person, one can find $10 a day enough, another person can think $1,000 is not enough per day. This is also about the capital you hold on your pocket before starting to the trade.

[mobnepal]

I think any amount greater than $1000 will be good bankroll to earn from short term or day trading but if you have more that than you can make multiple short term trades for 2-5% profit which in total will be great profit for a day.

I am also doing few short term trades daily and making around $50-$100 daily but my total bankroll is way higher than $1k.

[Youghoor]

When i use to trade, my first time on it i started with about 0.15 - 0.20 btc, and that was a very high amount of money if you are a begginer, and if you are just starting in the trading world, so that money is enough if you are a newbie. Maybe you can start with less money, but your profits are going to be so low, maybe you can earn 0.001 a day, and it is not worth it. So it depends on how much is your budget, and how much you can afford to loss

[Cactushrt]

Hodl is the best way if you want to earn a good profit for me $1000 is a good amount to start. If you are begginer just put a small amount

[mace15]

It depends on a person if how much is willing to take the risks in trading. $1000 to start for trading is nice is just that you should know already the consoquences in investing your money. So it is also better to diversify your investment as most saying dont put your eggs in one basket.

[bitcoin31]

If you are beginner its better if you invest only you can afford to lose . It depends to your money what is minimum amount do you want . But its better if you invest thousands dollars so if the bitcoin or ether you bought increase you will earn a lot of profit. As of now bitcoin is good for shorterm and many people as of now earn little profit in bitcoin what if you hold for few months and few years for sure you will earn alot of profit.

Never invest more than you can afford to lose. That is rule #1 when it comes to trading.

Beginner: depending on your bankroll I would not start with more than 1 BTC
Advanced: 1-10 BTC depending on your bankroll
Experienced: Unlimited...

For beginners my advice will be to go for demo traidng platforms and check their results before investing real money/coin.Even you can test yourself with small amount but never invest or deposit money which you can not afford to lose.

[albert11]

There is no requrements of the amount of money you must place to start trading. But good if you have a large investment because the greater the profit you. Since I started my investment was 0.01 and it was 0.1 this one week ago. I was also lucky at that time because I bought Shitcoins that really pumps about 200%. So if you come in here it's better that you have a big investment so your bitcoins can easily increase

[949miner]

Well it obviously depends on your budget and how much money are you going to risk in trading, but honestly, there is not an initial amount of money that you need to start trading, i started with 0.07 a long time ago, because i didnt wanted to risk so much, but it could rise it quickly to 0.20 in a few weeks. So you only need to have some skills and take advantage of this volatile market.

You should start trading Btc in small quantities; in the range of 0.03 to 0.1 btc then you can learn and draw experiences for you; It will be quite difficult for beginners, you need patience, success will come to you. Good luck!

[dhka]

Depend on your definition of small and big money I suppose, no exact answer to that question. But if you are still learning, just start with small amount you are comfortable with, not too much pressure.

nobody can really tell you what to do in any of these cases.
the amount you put into trading only depends on you and the risks you are willing to take. some people are risk takers and some are more conservative and take lower risks. it also depends on how much money you already have!
and what method of trading you choose also depends on you and what little experience you have in each of them. if you are familiar with shorting and how it works and also accept the risks of that then it can potentially be a great way of making profit. but some (me for instance) prefer the regular way of trading to buy alts low and dump them when they are pumped.

Well, to consider any amount to spend first is how much you can afford to lose if ever. There are no specific amounts because traders varies. I have different amount of money as other or yours, if you want to make short trades you should know how and have an experience on it because it was too risky. Thinking up in long term is much better to allocated much bigger amounts .

The minimum price, you should not throw out 2 to 3 bitcoins at once, especially in the short term, you will burn very quickly. Well, it all depends on you, you can put it all and all of a sudden you're lucky.

[onrise]

You need to first identify the amount that you have in spare and which you are okay even at the most its value goes down by 60 - 70% you will be able to carry your normal life. After this you can start trading and be sure that you are aware this is risky and it involves the art of identifying when to buy and sell.

[Flomo]

I'll buy some Altcoin for pumping, provided the coin tang is bought to have a good rate going forward, that's what I do for the short term

[andthereyou]

First you have study how to trade.
There are many type of trading, day trading, swing trading etc.

If you are a trader in other market, then first try small amount trading in bitcoin and altcoins just to gain experienced trading bitcoin and altcoin.
Of course you had to apply your trading technique in bitcoin and altcoin.
After you are confident then you can trade big amount. Goodluck trading.

If you are a beginner then maybe put a little amount first because you don't know how your trade will go. Maybe you will have a beginner's luck and have profit or you will immediately have a lose but what's important is that you experience it. Trading with just your mind seems so ideal like when you are just reading all the theories in trading and when you are already there trading live, it seems like you are in another world. It's a totally different story and then you will begin to understand where those theories apply in actual trading. Maybe you can start with just 0.01 and then add it if you are more confident and trust yourself of making it bigger. Don't let your emotions do the trading. You should always plan your trade and trade your plan.

[CryptoTraderFun]

I think it's better to use a small amount of BTC to trade intraday. Moreover, you can use margin exposure, and I think 2-5% of your deposit you can invest in litecoins in the case to multiply your profit.

[GFE]

I suppose it depends on trader experience. If you are beginner it is better to use of 10% of total deposit for trading. If you experienced trader it may be up to 20-30% of total deposit and higher. Of course, it is safely to use only part of total deposit for trading.

As for beginners just use a really small amount. However, I can't guarantee you'll get profit from those small amount.
Just take it as experienced. Trading is very risky, not to mention if you have no knowledge about it.
It's better if you do your own research about how to trading and anything related to it.
Hodl is good, too. But only hodl with a good coins, not a shit coins, since it might get delisted.

[Mpamaegbu]

Some exchanges (like Binance) will ask for a minimum of 0.001 btc before you are allowed to trade any coin on their sites. That is if you already have an account with them. But that doesn't mean you should start with that. If you do, it will only limit your chances to getting in on just one trade at a time and on cheap coin only. Try funding your account with a minimum of 0.01 btc. I started with 0.035 btc.

You don't need much Bitcoin to begin trading. I would recommend at least 0.1 Bitcoins to get started. The great thing about trading cryptocurrencies is that the fess are a percentage of the trade amount so you are not at a disadvantage if you make small trades. If you have some fiat to trade, don't use all of it for a buy. Leave some as leverage if the price drops more after you place a buy order. Same for selling, I like to always have some fiat and some Bitcoins in my account as leverage.

[dasdo]

It seems to me the more, the better. In this case, you can diversify your risks. And trade a large number of coins. And there are several ways to trade. For different capital and different interest in closing transactions. And so, trading is very risky of course. As for me, Bounty and long-term investments are safer and more profitable

This totally depends on each individual. The thing about trading is that the more you have, the more your profit. 1BTC to 3BTC should be good or you can decide to go higher depending on your level of risk. However, if you are a starter in trading, I personally will not recommend this.

I will advise you to do some little learning and do not rush into things. Start with a little capital until you are confident enough to make decisions on big funds. The same way you can earn big with big capital is the same way you can lose big.

[JaredStein]

Well everyone has different lifestyles so it's hard to say, but you can definitely think it's safe to say that you shouldn't invest more than you can afford to lose and research before trading in general.

you can do any amount for doing trading and there are no spesific amount. but i think you can trying with 0.01 btc-0.1 btc to start. search a good coins by doing analyze each of coins, make decision and wait the price to increase. you can do with daily and weekly and its up to you but i think its better that you do for once for 3 day or weekly.

for beginners I suggest to start playing bitcoin with a little capital for the first time, about $ 500 is enough to play bitcoin for beginners, from the capital that we play long term and short term, I suggest you buy altcoin the price is still cheap but do not buy , first you should see how dev development in the coin, do not get you wrong buy coin, and after you understand how to play it your decision to move forward again, want to increase capital or finish trading. no one knows when pump and when dump. I prefer to hold for a few months.

It all depends on how many Bitcoins you have and how much skillful you are. If you have a good amount of Bitcoins, then you can go for trading but only under one condition and that is you know the art of doing trade. Else, there is no point of wasting your Bitcoins in the trade just for the sake of fun.

There is no fixed number. Just take into consideration some basic rules. Only trade/invest what you can afford to loose. And then consider short term trading much riskier than holding, so don´t trade ALL your portfolio. Keep 50% in "safer" holding like your hard wallets, and trade the rest diversifying in the type of coins and type of investment.

in my opinion any amount cant be a good amount for trading. it really depends on you and how much money you have at your disposal and want to enter it in trading and take all the risks.

I am not a beginner but I am not an advanced trader either. for me the proper amount is usually 0.5BTC which is currently about $2000+. I feel more comfortable with this amount. I make some profit then cash that profit out. but this doesn't mean I have never invested more or less. there have been times where I only invested 0.01BTC in some altcoin or I have invested a much higher amount (a couple of BTC) in some altcoins. for example I bought a lot of Litecoin this year before the rise back when price was still $4.

[nikobon]

If you mean intraday trading, I suppose 20% of your total holdings is a safe bet. 80% is for long term investment.

I think as good as possible you have to think about the bitter losses,if talk about capital better think long and a little yes maybe 0.1BTC.Trading is not easy when talking about waiting for the pump.

Much better to short trade on alts, also it depends on how much are you willing to risk, as for me started at 0.01 btc for short trade. I have a target price of 0.11btc and when i reached that amount i withdraw then start at 0.01btc again. Not easy though you need to focus on what alts are you going to trade.

[kamudd]

I started trading with a capital of about 0.01 btc and I traded slowly, after I felt capable then I added my capital and dare to trade with 1 btc of capital and use about 0.3 in every altcoin I trade.

[kidsuzudn]

I suggest you to choose the right amount for trading depend on your asset capital. If you're trying to hold for a long time, please spend around 30-40% of your capital to hold it for long term, you should spend at least 30% for long-term cause this is the way you can earn good profit . Short-term is the rest but i think you should go for surfing day to earn profit around 5~10% profit if you can.

I need to start trading. You save the bitcoin for investing it a price increase the price every day it will you fall to you. But you know the trading how to handle the process and how to handle the issue it must for the trading. You put you invest for the 60% and you save the 40% bitcoin it will help with the if some loss. Before you start the trading you about the trading how to handle.

I ADVICE MUST BE MONEY TO USE FOR TRADING GAME THAT YOU ARE NEWBIE. NEWBIE IS NOT TRATRADING BECAUSE NOT KNOW THE MARKET ONLY. PLEASE CONTACT YOU TO USE FOR TRADING EXPERIENCE. IN TRADING KNOWLEDGE OF THE EXPERIENCE OF THE KNOWLEDGE.

[culuuton]

It depends on individual goals of each person. I wanna learn how to trade bitcoin. It's hard when you don't have any experience. Essentially, you want to hold onto it for a long time.

[Gatotare]

i used to trade with my half bankroll long time ago.  now it changed to 10% of my bankroll..to be honest not trading like before holding is more profiteable or im just sucks on trading lol

[pawanjain]

Advanced and experienced traders don't ask for capital amount for trading. The only people who ask for capital investments are beginners and according to me the starting amount can be from 0.005 to 0.01 depending on your bank balance. The amount is small and so we should know that the profit also will be small. Just practice trading until you are sure to obtain profit and then increase the capital. Spread out the capital into different coins in order to generate profit at least in some of then. Plan your strategy well and then execute it.

A good trader will never put it all. Even if you are buying in on an asset which you think it is at a good price, it is safer to get in bit by bit so as to give chance in case it goes lower and lower in percentage than the price you got in. Trading is not pure luck. You have to be smart and skillful, luck only takes a little percentage of this other two.

[Efta321]

There is no amount to be met, just depending on ourselves not to join the trending or our readiness can be said.

[vandvl]

if you are beginners to trading its better toy put a small amount first and study because trading is risky and wasting time and money if you dont have knowledge to it..it is no specific amount to trade small amount you can small to earn big amount big earn you got..

[affandi]

there is no limit in this case, it can with capital 0.01 or 0.1, or maybe 1btc. it all depends on your ability, and whether you already understand the ways and risks of trading. How to trade with the luck factor is a big mistake. currently many altcoin from the sale of ICO listed on the market, this could be an alternative too for you to trade, because usually altcoin from ICO results will experience a very drastic decline when first entering the market, make this moment as an advantage for you.

[justdimin]

Someone without knowledge should not even gamble trading at all cause they will flop. Trading is not something you just wake up to one day and start setting buy and sell orders. It takes skills, knowledge, ability to analyze.
Even those who go through some lessons either online or with a pro trader still takes their time to practice a little with small funds let alone someone who does not have any skills related to trading at all.

[HatakeKakashi]

It depends to you what amount is the minimum to start trade. But if you are beginner its better is small capital only and after few weeks add some more capital to make your money will grow more and fast . After you gain knowledge you may now add some capital . Without knowledge it is risky because they have possible that your bitcoin lose in wrong move . But if you have a lot  of knowledge the chances of earning bitcoin is very high.

[amaral1977]

For short term play i try not to have more than 10% of my crypto portfolio. I´m very conservative so i see all crypto has speculative and risky investment. if you put on top of this the fact that is extremely difficult to apply tech analysis on most alts i rarely risk more than 10% on daily short term trades. has the amount grows over time it can become even less percentage wise

[syaripudin]

A trader for beginners in my opinion should do trading activities with a number that is not too much this is necessary because doing trading activities is a long experience. so with a value of less than 10% let's say it's where you can learn the development of the market and bagamana you can conduct trading activities by being able to control your emotions. this should be done because trading activities have a high enough risk level so even if you make a mistake if you start with a value that is not too big of course a loss that you can not be too big.

I think that it is also depending on the nature trading, if you are interested in day trading then a little amount is enough for trading, because you have goo buy and and sell bitcoin in the same day and can make a lot of transaction in a single day, but if you are interested in long term trading then yo uneed to invest a good amount of money, so that you can get a get a good profit after some time. c

That has been experienced with many others who are working in this amazing world of bitcoins. Actually day trade requires a lot of patience and hard work. There are so much efforts required to get a positive result at the end. But mostly people tired of being so much observable every time and they prefer long term holding, and I think it is better.

[Idrisu]

It depends on what you can afford and the level of you risk torelant. If bitcoin trading is what you want to invest in then I will advise you to start spending time to lean and develop your skills and knowledge first then invest in trading platforms like poloniex and bittrex that accepts few satoshi as investment and invest few coins that you can afford to lose.

[BobBct]

For me if you have a very small income start small and try to make that bigger maybe double that so when you have a bigger income you can easily earn money.

[Osarman]

there is no limit in this case, it can with capital 0.01 or 0.1, or maybe 1btc. it all depends on your ability, and whether you already understand the ways and risks of trading.

There is no official limit of any coin for trading and same is the case with bitcoin. The amount of coin offered by trader is total dependent on the courage and financial status of the investor. If the trader is having very good amount of bitcoin in wallet and is having a great command on trading, then he should go with big amount of bitcoin but if the trader is new to this business, he should not do trading with big amounts to avoid massive losses.

[bakkang]

Its appreciated to begin with small amount as need more experience to pump in more. Educate yourself as much as you can before pitching into it please. Consult with more experts in trading if you are about to invest more on it without knowing anything. This will help you be more steady in trading and earning more bitcoins via trading. 

Yes. If you are new about trading just start with small amount just do it for practicing. With your experience you can learned a lot. With that you will be more courageous to trade in big amount of btc because you can gain now enough knowledge.

[faithupgrade]

For newbies, I think the minimum amount to play and learn trading is 0.0050BTC . In Poloniex and Bittrex the minimum amount is 0.0005BTC. If you want to margin sell the minimum is 0.1BTC. If you only want to trade without a margin. You decide how much do you want to trade.

Much better to short trade on alts, also it depends on how much are you willing to risk, as for me started at 0.01 btc for short trade. I have a target price of 0.11btc and when i reached that amount i withdraw then start at 0.01btc again. Not easy though you need to focus on what alts are you going to trade.

This kind of trading takes a whole lot of studying, dedication and so much idea about the altcoin market. It is of course very profitable if one can thread that part and can also be very risky as much as it is profitable. However, with a good level of short term trades knowledge, one can make more profit than losses.

Mostly all the trading site expect you to have certain amount in your wallet to start trading with the others. If you are just seeling coins means you will not find any trouble but being a trader you have to bear that. Then you can start with the small investment. You need to manage it else you will loose the funds you have invested too. Little risky thing.

According to me there is not any kind of specific amount for day trading, it all depends on the trader himself whether how much amount he is ready to risk or how much money is he ready to loose. The professional can start trading anywhere from $100 to $200 and slowly they can grow their account to $10,000 within short span of time with their trading skills and experience, but other beginner and amateur traders will need $500 and more along with  double the time of professional traders in order to make money as they dont have enough experience and trading skills.

[ohlawdy]

I trade with around 50% of my btc , i can afford to lose it.

[AleSergio]

Depends really on what type of trades and how much profit you want to gain, to gain some knowledge on how to trade i would suggest to trade with approx about 10% of bitcoin that you are holding, after you will gain some knowledge and you will get stable profit you can increase your investments up to 30-40%

Well its nice if you are willing to take the risks in trading, anyway you can earn good profit in btc trading. Price these days is soaring high so btc is a good choice to put your money. For me I also invest on what I can afford to risks in time earning is a better move.

[949miner]

Yes, there is no fixed amount to start trading, but you can start with 0.10 and make a very good profit if you know how to manage it and how to take care of the risks, so better to invest a little, but make a huge effort to increase that amount.
I think that you can easily start trading with less than 0.15, and you can easily make 0.01 a day if you are good at it.

No particular amount as long as you know how to trade. Even a little capital will do, the most important is the skills to earn with trading.

[notyours]

My suggestion on what you need to invest is at 0.2BTC for short term trading so your earnings will be higher. Of course, at least 10% of the day is high for one day only. And if you can save it every day it's just quick to double your investment. But if you enter trading then you should know that almost everything you need to know so you will not go wrong if you ever buy it

[wuvdoll]

I suggest you to choose the right amount for trading depend on your asset capital. If you're trying to hold for a long time, please spend around 30-40% of your capital to hold it for long term, you should spend at least 30% for long-term cause this is the way you can earn good profit . Short-term is the rest but i think you should go for surfing day to earn profit around 5~10% profit if you can.

Sometimes, these long term trading can seriously suck as you need to wait a longer period for profit. It is less stressful though but sometimes I just always wish the market could be faster most especially for some altcoins.

I have held a coin for up to 2 months and still counting and looking at the previous charts before buying I was so sure of my prediction of at least a pump every 2 weeks. Well, predictions cannot always be right and patience is all that matters.

You will have to wait and you should identify amount of that you have in the savings that you are okay with this. Most of the value goes the down stage 80% you will be able to have the normal life. After this you will be able to start the trading and be sure that you are aware of this about the trading and the risky about the rules of the trading and the investing.

[danherbias07]

Start less, risk less and lose less.
Since it is just for a starting money then make a capital that you can afford to lose.
If it is just for knowledge purposes then take the minimum deposit only.
Change it whenever you feel you know the trend already.

[nydiacaskey01]

You can start with 0.1BTC but don't buy only 1 Altcoin, try to buy 2-3 Altcoins to avoid waiting for the price to reach your target price because sometimes it takes a while before an Altcoin starts to move to the direction that you want. Long term trading is good if you have patience in waiting for your investment to grow, but for me I would rather buy an Altcoin, wait for it to reach my target then move on.

if you are really beginner in trading then I suggest that you do not use large capital, maybe 0.01 BTC enough. and for either long-term or short-term trading periods it all depends on you, but you should do what gives you the advantage.

[ronafurw]

It depends on what you can afford and the level of you risk torelant. If bitcoin trading is what you want to invest in then I will advise you to start spending time to lean and develop your skills and knowledge first then invest in trading platforms like poloniex and bittrex that accepts few satoshi as investment and invest few coins that you can afford to lose.

If you are beginner and you don’t know much about trading, then it is better for you to invest as minimum as possible in the start. There are very much chances that you will lose your money by making some kind of mistakes, so invest only that much which you can easily afford to lose. If you have enough knowledge and experience, then you can go for more amount.

[Pleione527]

I started trading having .01 bitcoin then I used it in two assets which I think has the higher chance of success. They are right trading is not just by getting a lower value alts then expecting to be sell it at high price its a matter of good analysis and having enough resources to support your trade. Take what you can afford to lose then if that would succeed start researching for the next big option.

[Crypto1992]

I started trading with 10$.I used it to learn how to trade and in the run I gained some knowledge regarding trading. I prefer 0.1 BTC is the  best amount to trade for short term.Day trading is risky.

Experience is always needed no matter how much you have learnt as this will help you build confidence and this is why trading with a little amount for a start before going in big like you have said is a very brilliant idea. It is not wise to start with a huge capital anyway, thinking you have all it takes already, that is just like playing with the tip of a fire.

We use 7 BTC per day per floor trader. That is obviously a little more than you need, but not much. Consider this, a simply BTC/USD only scenario. If you buy 1 BTC at say, $4500 today and sell at $4600 tomorrow, that is only a $100 profit, spread over two days, minus around 10% total fees in and out, That is a massive total of $45 per day profit. Pretty sad for a trader, the BTC movements are nice, but to hit those changes you need to buy into the game.

That is way of a lot of capital. I cant go that far anymore but I would really love to if I have the funds.
It is easier to get a lot of profit when you also have a lot of money invested.
Yours is better and the transaction wont hurt if you do it massively.
Some of us just really dont have the resources but would love to trade big time.

0.1 btc is a very safe amount to trade with low risk,, but you have to be patient enough with only a small profit,., in addition, successful merchants are those who dare to take big risks,, this is almost the same as gambling. if the risks are in big responsibility,, of course, the profits that may be in may be great..

Beginning 0.1 BTC is just fine and if one is totally unaware, then much lower would be safe. But yes, keeping in mind about low profit. Big risk would obviously have greater chances of high profit, but loss making capability or mentality comes at this point. So the capital should be accordingly to ones risk taking capability and mentality.

[riaruhs09]

I think the number for beginners should not be too much or can say the value you are able to lose, like 0.01 btc I think is suitable for beginners in trading.
