Small capital and Big capital

[doctor877]

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.

What's small and what's big?

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.

... Some people say small capital is the best to start trading with

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.

while others say small capital will leave you with limited choices that the best is to trade with big funds.

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

Starting with big fund will always be the best provided the user is able to manage it.

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.

[TelolettOm]

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.
