What is good amount to start day trading is 100$ enough??

[bitgoldpanther1978]

No, In short words 100$ is not enough to start day trade. Again you can start by this amount but you can not earn profit from it except lose. Suppose you start the trade with 100$, how much you want to get profit from it? Basically, for a day trade, we should not expect more than 1-2% per day. So for 100$ 1-2$ per day is enough for you? and you have to mind that there is an exchange fee in this profit. And you can not win every day, sometimes you will lose more than profit. Thus you can lose all of your capital.

I think 100$ is good enough for a beginner as long as the individual trades has an idea or knowledge about in trading.
This would give a little bit help for sure, though risk was there always and we can't avoid it but We can decide in a wise thing
as long as we know what we are doing, isn't it right?

This is not matter, You can start Trading just from $10. I see many User, who Start their trading just from $10 usd. Just need proper knowledge about Trading,  otherwise You can lost your Asset.     

100$ is quite reasonable to start trading with the only only problem is the profit taken might be very small when considering the risk management, personally I like the idea of starting with small amount of money to gain some valuable experience and apply the knowledge gained and deal with emotion and fear having make profits consistently you can add more funds.

The amount used to start doesn't necessarily have to be a big one although there's a saying that big risks yield big profit (like putting a bigger amount to trade). I've seen someone who started with as low as $50 but ended up making over $20,000. He kept adding up his profits and his capital increased overtime as well as his profit. I also know few people who went big but ended up losing majority if not all of the funds. The most important thing is to get tje proper knowledge of trading the markets, profits comes after regardless of the amount used.

The initial amount can be $ 1 / $ 10 / $ 100 / $ 1000 / $ ETC

With the above I mean that you can not start trading with errors, the first thing you should know is that your investment limit depends on your investment capacity which is directly related to the money you have to make investments.

Start with order, set aside specific money to trade, don't guess.
My amount preferred to start the day is a ratio of 1: 100 or 1/100 if you prefer. In other words, for every $ 1 I put at risk, I have at least 100.

$ 10 is a very small amount to start trading, because many exchanges have a limit of $5 to open an order. This way you can make 2 trades and most likely they will be unprofitable. And accordingly, your trade will end there. You can start your trading with 100 dollars, this will allow you to learn the basics of trading. But you don't need to count on earning money with this balance.

See, there is no exact thing as how much you should invest, as if you got the skills then I think even 50 USD would be enough to begin. I work with FreshForex, where you get bonuses like uptto 101%, so that boost your investment and gives you greater level of ease.

This is a forum about cryptocurrencies so I think he asked about cryptocurrency trading.
In cryptocurrencies, everything can happen in a short time so you can start trading with any amount of money but to make good earning every month I think you have to invest about $ 500 or more.

[Negotiation]

The more we invest in cryptocurrency trading the more capital will increase but if you are new to trading it is better to start with less at the beginning We can easily observe the amount of profit if we start with less. The higher the risk, the higher the risk So it is better to start with less than 100 This will enable us to gain knowledge about trading and understand the shortcomings of the trade market. Later the amount of investment will have to increase.

[pragna]

I think in trading there always possibility to lose amount that may be small or big and 5 times you lose your amount that is very big question here. You have to learn more about trading i think before investment then you can gain. 100$ is not small money yet but you have to proper utilize this $ so that you may gainer. If you invest into shit coin or dumping coin you can not go ahead. So start your trading with 100$ in proper way.

thanks.

Normally our fundamental goal with trading is to earn.

Precisely, you are into this business in hope that you'll going to get something good out from your investment.

So meaning for a large return there must be a large investment program to complete your task in trading, therefore, aside from getting the expected profit, you should improve your skills on holding.

Both funds and knowledge pays a big role when you are into this investment, the bigger you use as capital the
higher chance that you'll be banking bigger profits, though you also needs to
consider the risk and the strategy to make sure that you'll gain satisfactions
with the results that you'll going to get.

The $100 is not enough to proceed with trading, In practical reason, I think you need more than that to set aside your percentage, cost, and expenses together with your daily returns.

It's not enough if you are looking for short term results and you are aiming for big amounts of profits,
but if you are patience and you do value knowledge while learning inside this business,
that certain amount will work and you can make it happened to grow slowly but steadily.

I want to make it clear beforehand that capital is priority number 3...
the first priority that you must have is the skill/basic knowledge about trading and the second is the mentality that must be prepared with the possibility of loss that will occur in the future. if you already have the thing I mentioned, with capital only $ 20 you can make a big profit.

[Wawa2013]

To start day trading does not depend on the amount of capital used, but knowledge of trading which has the most important role.
If you have good knowledge, you can certainly make good strategies too. Even I have a friend starting a day trading from a capital
of $ 10. With a good strategy and risk management the results will be extraordinary.

[Insanerman]

How many times one can loose all his trading accounts before really start trading and earn.

I have lost 5 times some small accounts (less than 100$)
And one little big account (400$) in trading.

You lost your accounts? Did you jusf forgot your passwords? Or you are always being hacked? Or probably the trading platfrom thst you've chosen to trade is a scam?
I never lost any trading accounts. You should not lose even a single one dude.
Well, I suggest that you should pick up the legitimate trading site like binance.
Also make your accounts more secured. Use strong passwords and do not use passwords  that you are already using.
Be careful dude, you already lost huge money, yet you're not even started trading.

[Harriti]

It depends on how much each person wants to put in to trade. I am a student at a financial university and am trying to trade at forex market and crypto market. and I, like newcomers, still had 2 accounts burned but my total loss was $ 100, I realized many lessons after a period of trading. Many people have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to realize the same things I do. So for newbie like us, we should only trade with the lowest account possible. avoid losing too much and then get frustrated and can't keep working.

You guys are making it look like it is impossible to start trading unless you are rich. Of course you can start trading, and there are even methods where you "may" make a lot of money as well such as leverage trading and ICO's that could go berzerk and all similar stuff. Obviously it is not common and it is not easy, if it was that easy everyone would have done it and would be rich right now but it is also not 0% neither, it has a chance to happen and you could give it a go.

By the looks of the answers here, they are talking logical as well, I mean if you get in with 100 dollars and do not want to risk it all right away, you would have to make safe trades and those will net you not that much, sure good enough in the percentage column but when you look at the dollar column you will see a little bit amount.

[DarkDays]

Honestly, if you're not trading with at least $10,000, then you are probably wasting your time.

Remember, you don't need to actually have $10,000 in your account to open a $10k position—leverage exists for a reason, make good use of it.

In order to generate a fair yearly salary (~$40,000) form $100, you would need to multiply your money by 400x... That is just unrealistic.

However, if you're moving $10,000+, you only need to turn over 300% profit, which is still difficult but doable by the right traders.

Realistically, you'd need to be moving more like $100k+ (leveraged or not) in order to generate a living from trading, since that would be a more modest 40% ROI.

You are the only person who can stop yourself from losing, you probably keep losing constantly because you refused to learn from your past mistakes, learn trading from experts, understands the basics before starting all over again, the power to lose or gain is in you, choose one.

It's not enough if you are looking for short term results and you are aiming for big amounts of profits,
but if you are patience and you do value knowledge while learning inside this business,
that certain amount will work and you can make it happened to grow slowly but steadily.

For the short term, only $ 100 is indeed quite difficult. To get maximum results in the short term, it requires a large enough capital so that you will have a backup of funds to do scalping.
But if it's really good at managing strategies and analysis in trading $ 100 alone is enough to grow to many times over.
The most basic thing to do trading is to manage funds well.

[AniviaBtc]

100% is enough to start out day trading because it's better to start out with a little amount at the start albeit the damage goes through a touch it's possible to form a profit a day if you begin with 100% but if you've got enough knowledge about trading. However just in case of doing business keep an outsized account as long as you've got 400 long-term investments If the worth goes up you'll get double profit.

Your capital is not an important thing for you to focus, the important thing for you to do is to make it grow. No matter how much money you invest in trading, as long as you make it grow, as long as you are rooting for success. There are people who are investing even an 80% to start their trading journey and now they are earning profits.

Also, no matter how big or small your profit is, as long as you are earning instead of losing.
You just need to make sure that everything that happens to your asset is worth it and don't regret if you have a mistake and lose your money.

In trading, you need to learn and from small amount of money, you should benefit it until the end.

Learning is very important steps because not everyone can be an expert in trading. Stop loss is a must else you can lose all your money in a quick time. Always trade with amount which is limited, or one can afford to lose and 100$ just to begin is a also good amount. Try to make some profit from it and once you become an expert one can trade with bigger amount.

I do agree about the priority but I don't think that is enough to give you a profit.

Even professional investors or traders can lose, what they can do is just lessen the risk they are taking but then again, skill/knowledge and strong mentality can't always mean a big profit. Loss is inevitable in trading especially if you will be taking the market of cryptocurrencies that is so volatile and unpredictable.
