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.

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!

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.

I will recommend to ladder in to trading gradually, start with minimum capital that the loss can be condoled. As the investment increases more fund can be added, as well looking for profit at any opportunity. It has always be advised to split the investment into at least 5 projects especially from low risk (bitcoin and Ethereum) to high risk (new ICO projects).

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.

[osasshem]

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.

[DarkDays]

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.

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.
