Trading is a game of capital

[cytpoway121]

The minimum capital that is required to trade effectively and compound profit is 50$; anything below that means that you are literally wasting your own calls, signals; because without a good capital; the only way to make money is if you are making over 100% profit which is not sustainable. Your profit is someone else trade capital; so i implore us to twice your trading capital.

And once again, if you are to scared to loose money; then don't trade, it is not for you

I think trading capital ultimately depends on the trader and how much they are willing to lose per trade. There are traders who can take a $10 or $20 trading accounts to the highs of $5000 - $10000. Anybody can do it if they know what they're doing. It's very much possible these days since you can trade crypto futures and even use leverages. Your patry $20 capital would be $200 when on a 10x leverage account.

Anyway, I'm not here to talk about leverage trading. The point I'm trying to drive home is that any trading capital should be fine as far as the trader is comfortable with it and knows what they're doing. But one thing is clear those, the more the capital, the more you're likely to profit per trade if it goes well - for instance, gaining 500% on an $10 account doesn't seem to be worth it considering you only get $40 as profit. Compare that with a $500 - $5000 trading account.

If in an instance you are drained out from a shit coin you bought with the $50, which capital will be still use to buy the same coin again at deep, haven't you think balance reservation is something to consider? That's why it's good that in trading, the smaller profit you get should be sold out and make your gain irrespective of the amount of dollar.
In classifying capital for better trading experience is an incorrect thing, any capital is good for beginners, so long as their profits are taken careful and steady growing the portfolio in his account.

These lines are very important. If you are scared then you are not meant to trade your money or even play gambling games. The more you are scared the more you make mistakes while trading. The fomo and panic selling comes out if you are scared to loose your money.

I am making trade all the time but today after seeing heavy up surge in the bitcoin market, I’m scared to invest because I am in fomo mode right now. But I’m controlling so much right now and not investing a dime. So either you have to be completely straight or secondly control your emotions and then do the trades.

No trading is not about capital since if you can do a good trade without having a capital still your low amount can possibly gain more money, see what happen on binance future traders they earn so big profits these days especially by trading on bitcoins and other top coins listed in the market. I also trade with low capital these days but so far I earn decently on my daily trades.

I guess $50 is also a good number but that could diminish in one sweep.  With $100 you got two sweeps. A chance to get back with whatever wrong you did at the first try.
As long as it doesn't wreck your budget, any amount is okay. Better to put an amount that you are afraid to lose. That way you will try to be careful with every step.

More fund means more portfolio, more profit, if you have low amount of Capital then you make very small amount form trading and if you have large amount of Capital then you can make good profit form Crypto trading.

Losing money is scary when you don't have such, and having no skills put you down unto that certain level of fears. Being anxious is normal for those who never experienced failures. What good in life as we're getting into maturity, many shortcomings will come to us, then you'll be stronger as time keeps ticking and you won't notice you surpassed all those bad things in life. Same in trading, if you don't risk you won't succeed.

LOL, you entered the market with a different situation to us who have been stuck in the market since 2015, so it may apply to you, because the fact is not about big capital, but how well you manage your finances when trading. because in my opinion it's useless if you have big capital but don't have the skills to trade. Aren't there many big investors and took money in lifeboats, just to trade, then actually the fall cannot be saved and it only takes one reason (YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO MANAGE MONEY)

$50 or $10 000, does it mean anything at all if the trader has no idea what he is actually doing? Everyone would want to get rich overnight by sitting in front of a computer and buying something cheap, and then selling the same x100 more expensive - but where would the crypto market end up in that case? Your profit is someone's loss and vice versa - which means that there must always be a lot more losers than winners.

Recently, there was a thread in this board about how most of those who try to trade soon give up because they lose all their capital or realize that they can't profit in the long run - and I don't think that's far from the truth, a small percentage of people really can get rich by trading cryptocurrencies, the rest are lost in a forest of big losses and small gains.

The minimum capital to trade will depend on the trader's money, and we can not say that $50 is for all traders because they do not have the same amount to start trading. Making a profit will also depend on every trader, and if they can see the profit, they need to take profit before the chance is gone. But many of them become greedy when they see the profit and want bigger profit and not close their trade. The effect of that is not good for them because the price can drop too deep, and their chance to take profit will go.

More fund means more portfolio, more profit, if you have low amount of Capital then you make very small amount form trading and if you have large amount of Capital then you can make good profit form Crypto trading.         

Obviously, in this case, there will be different expectations from trading. For someone who has a deposit of several hundred dollars, the resulting profit of $50 will look attractive. For someone who has a deposit of hundreds of thousands of dollars, a profit must be recorded, which is calculated in several thousand dollars.

If you are not a good trader then no matter how many funds you trade with, you will not get good results. So it is important to work on increasing your trading skills before trading with more capital. I have seen many traders who do not have enough trading skills to do well even when it comes to trading with their big capital. So I think trading skills are more important than capital. Adding a capital account does not matter if you are confident in your own trading experience. $50 And if you lose because of your inexperience, then you must be responsible for it. There are many traders for whom $50 is a very large amount of funds, they can not start trading with the capital of this amount.

Unless there is another born cryptocurrency that would grow the same as bitcoin by just investing with that amount, it could grow into millions. But to tell that if it can happen these days, I doubt it that we'll see another coin that's the same as bitcoin. Growing from cents a decade ago to nearly 6 digits of worth in value.
In trading, it's also not sure that you'll make even with higher capital. Newbies will get the idea wrong about it if they don't have an idea of how it works.

[Ziskinberg]

More capital, a larger it possible to gain more. But not all it looks like that, it matter also on the coin we use for a trade just like using those who have low liquidity, which is still impossible to work. That is also important to consider the two thing capital and coin, and we then to expect profitable result or at least we are not to suffer big losses. Because some new traders come and buy cheap coins but no matter how long they hold, it is still hopeless to make money from them.

[Ryker1]

Well, perhaps it is a good advantage if you have a huge initial capital to start in trading but it does not mean you have big capital it is a sure win-win situation. Because trading depends on your self and knowledge, perhaps even if you will use a small amount but you know how to fold it so many times, like martingale in gambling it is possible that you will gain profit. There are a lot of combinations in trading that you must consider and not only by the capital. Even how small it is if you know how to manage and become a big amount of money, you are still on the profit.

[seleme]

 Think like this: The 10% profit for $1mln capital is not the same amount for living as a full-time trader compared to a $10k balance. Maybe both traders have the edge over the long run on markets but it is pointless to keep digging if the profit doesn't cover the bills at the end of the month. Just my 2 cents.

More capital, a larger it possible to gain more.

The larger capital means more gains but it also means more losses if the trader has no experience in the related field. The big losses will melt the large trading capital for the inexperienced trader, so I suggest trading the demo accounts before using the real funds in the real volatile crypto markets. Bitmex has a demo account for those who have experience with margin trading btw.

You got really some points on here because having small capital and earning only small profit will really be just eaten simply by fees alone which you would really be seeing this to be non worthy.
You would soon realize it when you are experiencing those things when you do have small capital but if you do really do such thing for the sake of learning or trial then it isnt really a bad start up.
Not all would really be having the same capability when it comes to finances this is why you can really see these kind of funding on someones trading capital.Some doesnt really have much or
some are really just too afraid to take up some risk or doesnt really like to lose money.

Exactly, when I started my crypto trading journey, I minimum I used is $100, it last me a good months before I go 0, but that is ok, I can afford to lose the money anyways. The important thing is that I've learned a lot during my first $100 journey and gain the needed experience to go on my second or third attempt. Always, the rule of thumb is, "invest or trade what you can afford to lose".

I also don’t feel to succeed if I’m just going to trade with that kind of capital, it might not cover all the fees I have to pay so that capital might not last longer.

Trading requires the right knowledge and it also requires capital. I’ve started my trading journey with a $200 capital, and it works for me perfectly so I suggest that at least $200 should be your starting capital to fully enjoy trading.
