Topic: $100 USD vs $10,000 USD Trading Capital (Read 763 times)

Big or little amount of Trading Capital will give impact with your little or much profit, every one know with little Trading Capital amount you only reach with little profit later although your coin price is up, but if you use bigger Trading Capital amount you will get much profit just cross up few percent. I think easy to get profit if use bigger capital trading amount and across 4% if have 100k$ we will get about 4k$, but when price drop we will feel too how increase our money drop and the same happen with bigger profit and when lost will get bigger,

There's no difference at all it's just that if you have high capital you will earn high and if you have low capital you will earn low. Still if you earn 10% from $100 you still earn 10% too from $10,000 so I don't think there's no differences in terms of risk and advantage.

Well it’s normal for people to complain about their capital when they see that there are others that are trading with huge capital and raking in lots of profit due to their huge capital.

But, everyone should learn to manage what they have and cut the coat by their size. If you work hard and make steady profit you will cover up and be bigger and have enough. Bigger capital gives you bigger returns, but if you have small capital and you’re the pro in trading, and can maintain the steady profit, then you’re better than someone with big pockets.

It depends on how you feel about cryptocurrency. If you treat trading like gambling, you won't analyze the market by choosing at random between long and short. In this case, you may be able to earn money, but this tactic will definitely lead to the loss of the deposit.

It is what traders or any kind of risk taker must do.

Always use an amount as capital that's very affordable to lose. This is a very simple reminder but do you think that many are losing? especially if the market is going up like this time.

Greed is starting to get us again and in the end, many will fail.

trading capital should not be problem for us now since almost all exchanges provide margin trading feature, it will give us many advantages for our capital. even we only have $100 , in trading margin it could multiplied till 50x   for several pairs. by this ,now we could focus improve our skill in techical or fundamental that be most problem for trader. at this moment to many signal provider that make us lazy to improve trading skill.

Scalping is the worst and respectful form of losing capital in volatile markets because only bots can beat the speed of price action with different limit orders. The scalpers usually stare on the screen for a long time but pro scalpers only for low volatile altcoins with automated scripts. In the end, both traders lose..

Agreed, as you said, it better to trade on what amount you can afford to lose, just like gambling.
But can you say crypto/forex trading is gambling? even with the right amount of knowledge at your disposal

But if the coin can not go up and down for the price, you will be difficult to scalping because the price will not move as you want. Bigger capital doesn't mean you can make a big profit because you still need to determine the time to buy and sell. The important thing is you have the skills to analyze to find the coin, so you can execute by buying low and sell high. No matter how much your money, if you don't have skills, that will be difficult to make a profit, even for just $10.

It is always better to have a good amount of money as your capital while trading because there is a big possibility that you may lose right away for the first time so what if you only have few amounts of capital then the ending is you will leave or quit trading because you don't have money anymore to trade, you just wasted your money if that would happen. most of the successful traders have good enough money and source of income as well to sustain their trading strategies so if you are unfortunate one does not take the risk.

This is true. I think this kind of style is called scalping. Capital does really matter in trading. You can do this kind of trade if you have a huge amount of capital. You can profit with small price changes in a short amount of time.

I think the answer will be depend on what kind of trader are you, there are 3 kinds of traders which are the level 1 trader who are new in the market or what we can say the beginner. The next trader is the level 2 trader where he/she have now foundation in trading and he/she needs mastery and consistency in order to go in the next level trader which is the level 3 where it can considered as professional because of experiences and knowledge that he get from the past years in trading. Those type 3 trader are the one who usually posting snapshot of their winnings in their past trades. So let's back to the topic, If the trader is a level 1 trader or a beginner in the market; it is not advisable to invest $10,000 because for sure that he/she can lose it in just matter of weeks or even days. A level 1 trader should put small money first where it can considered as trial account. There are some level 1 trader who usually go all in where they will invest all of their savings in their first account in certain exchange and then later they will regret their decision after they lose the money that they invested.

If a certain trader already achieved the level trader or the professional level then it is time that it is advisable to invest big amount of money like $10,000 or more. This kind of trader for sure have good risk management where for them there are only 3 possibilities which are win big, win small and lose small. Losing big is the one that they are avoiding through risk management. A lot of opportunities that a level 3 trader can get if they invested high capital because they can maximize the gains. For those who are still in level 2, I advise to lower the trading capital first because it is considered as training or practice portfolio. I always saying for those who want to become successful in trading, if you are new focusing on learning first than in earning. Your goal should get a lot of experience first and not to gain huge amount of money. The profit will come if you are able to feed your mind by learning a lot of ideas and concepts that you can use in order to be profitable trader. 

You do not pay the same amount of fee when it comes down to 100 dollars and 10k. If you pay 0.1 fee for 10k to make it 10 bucks, you also pay the same 0.1 for 100 dollars which comes down to 0.1 dollars or 10 cents, which means you need to make 0.20 in order to break even, so at 99.80 in that case.

However where you are right is the fact that between depositing cash, trading to bitcoin and paying a fee, making a profit, and trading fee back to fiat and back to your bank account, your 100 dollars would be basically all gone, in a situation where you need to transfer your bitcoins somewhere else which could take as high as 10 bucks these days due to high blockchain fee, we are talking about basically nothing with a 100 dollar investment whereas 10k could do a lot better for those things and cover it with a small increase.

I am a practical answer of this question. I started with a poor amount and still The amount is 4 times better than my 1st investment. Good observation and good timing can be the best thing in this sction. A larger amount does help sometimes but to grow here skills and observation  policy is more important.

Yes there is a difference especially with leveraged trading. Say you buy BTC at $10000 and you are paying 0.1% fee, so round trip its 0.2% so about $20 in fees. Now consider that you have an account with $10000 in it, if you get out at break even you still have $9980.

Now consider you got an $100 account, you go 100x on the trade, so same principal and closed at break-even, your account is now $80. Hence a huge portion is lost due to fees. Hence why its very difficult to make large sums of money with small accounts. Those people you hear who went 100x and made like $1000 from $100 got extremely lucky and doesn't really happen all too often.

We don't get mad if we are not able to get huge profits from trading if we just have a small capital. Trading capital matters a lot as the profits will be depending on your capital invested. People who have more than enough capital will likely gain more or to lose more but they are not thinking about losing because they are already prepared for the consequences and they know what they are doing. So there is no need to question why I only got this and that? If we want more, then increase our capital. And it is clear enough and very understandable.

But there are people whom do make out their portfolio which is only composed lower than 50% and mainly focused with alts.They should really changed up their minds and 80% is indeed
the best proportion.

People will just realize it on how BTC is the main player when it comes to dictation so its better to stick with it.For in talks about how much capital then it wouldnt really matter

as long you do know how to play with the movement then it doesnt care if you do have less or lots because outcome or result would be always proportion to that.

Trading capital matters because trading is all about percentage of income. The more you can dominate the market, the more you can win the trades. If you have 100k usd, you can have 1k usd when you hit 10% of your trades but it took 1000% percent before you hit 1k usd  if you have 100 bucks only. High capital gives you high result, that's the math of trading.

Having more money is not going to make a you a better trader, but using leverage is completely unjustified especially if you are a newbie, leverage for the most part is seen as a way to multiply your money really quickly on the markets but it is in fact just a way to increase your exposure to the market and as such your risk.

And the main difference between the good and the bad traders is how much they expose themselves to risk and for the most part those that end up being bankrupt take too much risk while those that make money in the markets take as little risk as possible on each of their trades.

First to say it's a big difference between $100 and $10k! Whatever goal you have 10%, 50%, x2, x3.... is a lot more from $10k than from $100, but you risk more money. It's a situation where you need to make a trade with $10 and you just click the button and do it, with +$1000 (for many even lower than that) your hands are shaking, your mind is going crazy... it's the same in gambling, with lower amounts it's easier to gamble than with huge amounts.
My trades are usually around $100, and it's the amount I feel relaxed with. And I think people should trade/gamble with the amount they feel relaxed with, if you make some profit great, do it again, if you lose some/all it's not a big deal you will try again with new deposit! It's going better when you are relaxed and objective than in moments when you are stressed and you hope for the best or else you are screwed!

Super great advice you've given on here for general trading. I really would like to emphasise the importance of portfolio proportion and how BTC should be among the highest.

The reason for reiterating this is that I find it so fundamental to trading that often many people forget or don't think about how the market really is dictated by BTC and as long as you give yourself that higher proportion you can in a more 'safer' way explore the market conditions with the alts while always having that BTC to back you up. It's super important.

Whatever capital is used in trading, if you don't have good trading skills, you will have the same risk of loss. Trading capital on the other hand is also important to get more profit, but the losses that are experienced when trading wrongly will also be greater.

Having a large capital does not necessarily make you a good trader, because some new investors who have a lot of money and start trading are just beginners who do not understand trading.

Your capital will depend on how much you can afford to lose and you should not compare yourself to anyone especially if you can’t afford the $10k capital, you can always start at your own level of risk. Capital is your first step on achieving financial independence in any market, and the next one is a lot more harder which is to learn about investing and how to multiply that capital without losing everything.

We aren't talking about knowledge in trading here yet its quite understandable that knowledge is important among the rest for you to be better in trading.

Of course trading capital would matter in most cases because with bigger one you can really be versatile and there would be lots of adjustments and set-ups that you can do.

Just like what others had said that it had its own cons and pros which is true.It doesn't matter if you do have a 100 bucks of capital but doesn't mean that you wont be
profitable.It all matters with skills in the end of the day.

Trading capital matters a lot. However, there is some “but” here. If a guy has thousands of dollars but a zero knowledge about crypto trading, he has a great chance to lose everything. 100 USD is an OK sum for a beginner. Even if he makes mistake,m it will not be the biggest fail.

Only high capital can not make success trader. If you have big amount you can make big profit and can be big loss. After few mont i come back in trade. Started with 200 usd and one month 2k usd. After i buy a coin 2k usd now this price is 400 usd.

Well to be honest, if you know to yourself that you are good in trading obviously in 100$ you can able to get profit with suitable to that this amount while in 10, 000$ it will only same goes only. But their difference only is that in 10K$ you can possibly get a big or huge amount of earnings in cryptocurrency trading, very simple to understand isn't?

Trading capital does not affect the way you trading if you are a professional trader. A professional trader consider 100$ capital same as $10000 capital. They care about is the risk/reward ratio as well as the percentage of profit. Novices only care about the real number of money they receive after every trade. That is a huge different which distinguish real traders from newbies.

Dont let the amount of money make your trading route obscure. I know that people are in need of money. But trading is way more better that just making money. There are lots to learn and vary of skills are necessary. And for your information, only 10% of traders actually generate income monthly while others only lose their money continuously

Honestly you could risk a lot more with $10k instead of 100 dollars. With 100 dollars between fee's and other stuff you are going to have very hard time putting your money into multiple stuff, you are probably going to stick with just one thing and you need to hope that thing works and if not you are done with.

However with $10k, you could separate like maybe $7-8k for regular bitcoin/eth type of investments which will make you over $10k+ soon anyway and you will be back to square one, while doing that, you could spend $3k on 30 different coins 100 dollars each and you could hope that one of them will become something huge.

Not all of them will, some of them will be dumped at launch, some of them will never survive, but maybe few of them will go super high and you could make extra $10k+ just that way if you are lucky.

It doesn’t matter for me because no matter how much your capital is if you don’t have knowledge on what you are doing, you will still ended up broke so I suggest to always start small and just increase it if you already gain the knowledge, this is what matter to me and I can always make capital what challenging to me is to sustain that capital and make profit out of that.

it has become a formula "big capital = big profit, on the other hand, small capital = small profit"...
It is very rare to find a case like Bitcoin which gives an ROI of 9000% to investors for 10 years, if you trade in the top 20 cryptocurrencies don't expect to get big profits if you have small capital.

To be a "good trader", maybe no. To be a "successful trader", a lot of times, yes! Because how do you measure "success in trading", if it isn't measured in $$$.

It doesnt matter on what amount you do start off- This is just the same when you do ask out neither you do start with $10 or $100.
It wont really be that a serious issue even though there are really difference in terms of profits but overall you would still need the
same strategy and ways for making yourself to be profitable in the end of the day.If you are just a beginner with this trading career then its better to start with small
amounts so that in case you do lose it all then it wont really be that hurting much compared on losing a thousand bucks in a short span of time
and this is one of the advantages but dont expect for big profits on having smaller capital.

I know many examples of how beginners with a small Deposit tried to increase it by opening an order for the entire amount. And they managed to do this for a while, but only as long as the price went in their direction. A good trader will not make a deal for the entire amount, allocating 3-5% of his Deposit, this allows you to avoid losing the Deposit even if the transaction is unsuccessful. But this trading tactic is only available if you have a large deposit to trade.

It doesn't look differential to me to think it this way that higher trading capital can gain much more. But people may think that with higher capital, they can try and manipulate the markets (which is next to illegal) and it is true to some extent if they have got a group who does that for profits. For the lower capital ones, the case may be like they can afford to lose that capital and still not worried. Still, for some, it's a higher low capital, while for others it's a lower high capital, for other types, higher high and lower low capital.

For higher low capital, they can afford to lose a big number in their trading despite having a big size account.

For lower high capital, they can't even afford a small balance loss because they believe that their loss is very big, even though their account size is very less.

For higher high, if these people want to, they can just lose their entire capital and considering they are whales, they don't give a damn while for lower low, these people can't even afford a penny and will be very miserable in terms of using their trading capital very wisely.

It depends upon what type of trader you are. For beginners it is advisable to just start up on having small capital at first for we all know the risks associated on doing trading so better when you are just trying to learn from experience is you just need to have a small capital so that whatever will happen, only small amount will be used and you can still be able to fastly recover from such loss. The difference between having a small and big capital is the amount of rewards you can possibly attain but still that is dependent on the asset or crypto you have chosen to trade with. The amount you will capitalized is at stake starting upon the choice you have made on which coin you will entrust your money. Diversify your capital into various crypto and to not stack it all in just one. Contentment is the first thing you must have as a trader before you slowly but surely raising your capital inputted into a crypto. Start small before going big to lessen the probability of acquiring risk that can lead to loss.

I am not sure if ETC is a great example of being a small whale because ETC has been 51% attacked so many times in a row now, but there is also a problem with being a small whale as well. I have been involved with some projects before and I have met with a lot of whales in there as well and the problems whales have in small time coins is the fact that there is not enough volume for them to get out when they want to.

If there is like 50k volume for the whole day and you get in with 10k of your own money, you can't just sell all 10k and get out, it would destroy the market and it would mean you could lose as much as half of your money because of that. Hence, if you have 100 dollars it is wiser to get into smaller coins since you can't disturb it but go into big ones if you have 10k.

Yep, whales have their own set of problems to deal with when trading. They have to engineer enough liquidity to fill their order. They often end up driving the price in the opposite direction just to trigger some stop losses. That's when we see those big wicks or shadows if you want on the charts.

The image was taken from https://www.binance.com/en/trade/ETC_BTC

If you have $10000 and you invest it all into one coin, ETC ie. You therefore can be a 'small' whale in ETC/ BTC trading pair. If you set up your buy or sell orders at a single price, you will create a wall of buy or sell at that price. Your wall will become resistance or support (just temporary). You are not a true whale so if the market turns opposite to your expectation and trade orders, your orders will never be filled.

I took the image to help you understand how whales have difficulty to enter and exit the market without significant impacts on price actions. It is the art of whales.  

Think about it in this manner, if you're already experience and skilled to tackle the market, you'll need extra motivation to continue in this path and that's where the profits pays a major role. With low capital you'll easily get discourage from engaging yourself with trading as you'll be of the opinion of saving yourself all the stress of analyzing the market and risking your funds just to get tens of dollars.

Meanwhile you can get more if you just Invest in a promising coin or coins then sit and watch your investment grow. But assuming you were making huge profit as a result of your big capital, there won't be any discouragement unless when the losses start coming.

With the big profit, the idea of becoming an Investors won't pop into your head as you're already making more than any Investors would in the same timeframe with similar capital as yours provided you're good and not an average trader.

Whatever the newbie traders do is the material for learning more in the hard trading journey. The mistakes can teach the priceless experience and this experience is required to get more profit by correcting the stop-loss orders and take profit orders. The revenge trading and chasing the losses with increasing the trade size on the next order is the aggressive form of making newbie mistakes but they prefer to blame the volatile market conditions. Revenge trading and other emotional trading decisions will melt the balance as soon as possible, my suggestion is to accept the loss and go forward. Other opportunities will be there waiting for experienced traders on another day.

The most important thing in trading is not how much capital we use, but our ability to analyze the market. The better our analytical skills,
the better our trading results should be. Sometimes with a capital of $ 100 we can make our capital continue to grow, if we have good
analytical skills. But if our analytical skills are poor, $ 10,000 in capital could run out.

Having higher capital or having a small capital doesn't do anything with your trading performance you could be a good trader even with a small capital and you can be a bad trader with higher capital or vice versa. I doesn't matter if you have small or high capital the only matter in trading if you would be able to take profit or not.

Yeah, people are trading with low amount and are looking for huge rewards and it doesn’t work that way. And the amount of money you’re trading with doesn’t make you better or worse.

If you’re not a good trader, no matter how much you’re given or how much you have, you’re still going to be losing and that’s worse if you’re trading with so much money as a novice, because you’re going to be losing that money compared to when you’re trading with less.

Another thing we need to know is that there are people who $100 is a huge money for them, people should learn to put things at their level and know risks are involved.

Trade with little money and over time you will cover up; this is how I have slowly become a profitable trading in crypto markets.

With a higher capital, one can invest in various coin/stocks which will reduce the risks of losses and will benefit the trader hugely. But with low capital, it's really hard to put money into multiple stocks/coins and make a good average income out of it. Risks are higher with higher capital, but as you said, it has great advantages as well!

If you plan to make a loan and invested it in Bitcoin or crypto currency Maybe you should think twice first . The possible return you can earn by borrowing money can be larger .but it's also have the same risk to lose large amount so if you are just borrowing it in a bank then you will be in debt if you make wrong a decision .or if you don't get the right timing of buying. I know a person that's in debts because  of wrong decision he make before and now he has a hard time figuring out how he can pay off what he owes .

I think a high capital won't make you success in crypto trading or you aren't guarantee to get a profit. It doesn't makes sense when you have $10000 in your capital and start trading but you have no strategy to start. Yeah, rely on someone else signal is useless at the end it just make you a short term profit.

But, when you have many understanding against trading you have a chance to success in crypto trading, believe me. Moreover now, there is a laverage system who will make you have a high capital, it will be the same when you have $100 and you use 10 laverage and you will feel you are trading with $10.000 and that is real. And it is good for you when you have a good knowledge how to trade well.

I understand that when you are losing you are losing bigger with the big capital as well but isn't that normal? I mean if you make more you also lose more that is the risk we are having with a big capital. I have seen people who got into trading bots with 100 bitcoin and lose 20 bitcoin in return, that was such a huge amount later on because he lost his job and had to live with that 80 bitcoin for a while.

However they do this because it could be life changing, if you get involved with 10k and get lucky just once from some crazy coin, we are talking about buying a house with it, like let's say you make 5x profit and you have 50k, you could buy house in many  parts of the world and even in the places like USA or UK it could be down payment. Hence losing bigger is just worth it compared to what you can win.

I think capital is one of the most important thing on trading .If you have enough funds you will get a good profit ratio .It helps to recover when you get few losses .However you have to be experienced on trading platform either you can make huge losses .So i think capital is not factor but you have to be a good trader .

^ The risk will always be the same whether you trade either small or high capital it will always give you 50% chance of winning and another 50% chance of losing and that is the reality that will never change or you may not trade at all just for you not to take the risk anymore lol. However, the chances will give you always the same outcome either win or lose but it may still vary on the rate depending on how you manage your trading skills and your emotion on it, for example, if you are eager enough to win and doesn't control your emotion over it then you might end up trading all your capital without holding back for some that make you go beyond your limitations then chances are you will be in a mess and you will forget your trading strategies. Nevertheless, I conclude, that it doesn't matter whether you have a small or a big capital, winnings will still depend on how you manage your trading skills.

Big or small it will always matter on someones fund or risk management because even if you do have big trading capital then dont think that you arent susceptible to losses compared to those who have less.

Just like what mentioned by others where you can risk out a portion or percentage according to your likes with each trade.On having bigger amount will really just widen up your movement just because
you do have bigger funds which in comes to versatility then you do had the edge unlike on having that limited one.

All matters on how you do trade because those small amounts can be big if you done it well and those big capital of yours would vanish if you do suck with trading.

It doesn't matter at all. I tend to focus on percentage profit rather than the zeros someone has made. A trader using a strategy to make 90% profit from a capital of $100 which is $90 in profits is far better than one using a strategy to make 9% profit from a capital of $10,000 which is $900

The most common one is probably greed and the need to over achieve  which makes the trader to over risk and might end up losing all the capital. When a trader makes even a profit of $90 from $100, most would feel they haven't done enough and would continue over risking getting $1000 or $2000 in profits. But if someone is able to keep their greed in check, then everything should be good

Nope. Consistent higher percentage returns do.

It seems that all traders know that using large capital can get big profits with great risks too. Therefore whales when trading will use large
capital to get a profit that is much greater than the capital used. In fact, we find some traders borrowing money from banks to be able to
trade with large capital. It must be admitted that large capital can make us rich quicker, even though the risks faced are certainly very large.

Simple people arent really just contented on the profits that had been generated when you do have less capital but actually its all the same yet someone can adjust it up basing off
into your entire funds. spending 5% neither on big capital or small one would be just the same.People's mindset do always stick out that if the bigger the fund the more chances that
they can make profit which is true in terms of intensity, the difference only is on numbers but people do believe on wrong way thats why people who do just recently engage
with the market have that belief that they can fasten out to be profitable if they do directly make use of bigger capital but sooner or later they would really realize that
expectations would meet out the reality which isnt supposed or easily can happen.

A professional trader will make money whether he has a small account or a big account. With the leverage available in the markets nowadays you can start trading with extremely low amounts. Although you cannot make a living with a $100 account in most countries, it is CERTAINLY a better start for beginners to refine their skills before going into a higher tier.

If you trade with a $10,000 account it does not mean the risk is higher. It all depends on a person's position sizing and net worth. A $1000 position represents a 1% risk for a $100,000 account and 50% for a $2000 account. I hope I made myself understood.

You can fail and gain a lot of experience with bigger capital.

For a newbie, it's not advisable to trade like that. But if you sees that there's an opportunity in trading, you can think of a better amount that shall be sufficient to you to gain experience and knowledge as you trade.

$10,000 is for an expert and maybe an additional of $100 to $100 could be enough for you not be burned when you trade. But, there are also traders that are good with smaller amounts and they can manage to grow it on their own.

A matter of experience, wise decision making and probably luck too.

Well, I think it's best to learn trading without risking any money or too much money... You could start trading with "big" amount when you become good at trading.  If you wish to trade or learn with money without skills/experience, then start with amount you can afford to lose/risk. I think you can gain experience this way if you are serious about trading.
I guess there are really wealthy people who can afford to risk "learning" with $10,000 as newbie to gain experience. There are people who can't afford to risk $100 in trading without the required skills/experience. Better to start with what you can afford to risk/lose and then gradually increase your fund as you become consistently profitable in your trades

Having a higher trading capital will make you a better trader without a single shroud of doubt but not because having money automatically means better results, it just means easier way of trading when you have that much money.

Of course it depends on the trader and how smart he is or what his goals are, however one thing is for sure, when you have $10k, and you make about $1k per month in trading profits, that s 10% per month and even though that is awesome and definitely a big goal, it is still doable, whereas if you are a trader with 100 dollars, if you do 10% which is awesome and unlikely, you still make just 10 dollars, which ends up with you trying to make 2x instead of 10% which makes you a risky trader and end up losing you money. This is why having capital is very very important.

In my years of trading, I have come to realize that having a higher trading capital doesn't make one a good or successful trader.
The only advantage (which is also its disadvantage) of higher trading capital is the high returns of investment. You make more in a short period of time trading with a high capital.
It is however also its disadvantage, like I mentioned earlier, in that with more trading capital comes more risk. You run the risk of losing more if the trade didn't go in your favor.
What makes a successful trader isn't the trading capital but how much of skills and knowledge does he have? How well can he manage his risks? Does he understand money management? Can he keep his emotions under control when trading? These are what makes a successful trader

Your trading capital will not make you a better or a worst trader, in that sense the size of your trading capital does not matter, but at the same time in trading and investing money is everything, if you make a trade and earn 10% out of it if your capital is 100 dollars you earned 10 dollars if it is one million you earned 100k, the same trade despite being executed in the same way produces a massive difference in profits.

This is why if you want to trade professionally and for a living your initial capital needs to be quite high from the beginning, another instance in which capital plays a factor is on the risk level you may want to take, there are many people investing in altcoins with a very high risk because they need the coin to make 100x just to earn something decent, but if your capital is high you can just invest in bitcoin, get 2x or 3x and make enough money for yourself.

It will change the result in making a profit, but that will still depend on what coin you will use to trade. If you have $100, you can buy a low price coin, but that coin can be profitable in the short or medium term, and you will make a profit when the price increase. But if you have a large capital, you will have many options to buy the coins. But you need to know that the more capital you use in trading, the riskier than if you use a low capital. But I will say that if you want to make a profit, you need to have skills.

Better capital is not going to make you as a better trader but it gives more chances and choices while taking trading decisions. It won't take much time for a good trader to convert the small capital into a big one in no time.

Well, capital is one major thing i consider before venture into trade. The return from any investment (like trade) is a dependant of the amount in a trade. The more the capital the more the returns, likewise the higher the capital for any investment the more risk apply. Though i usually consider lower capital becasue of the low risk involve. we all know how volatile trading crypto is and for doing this it's encourage to take low risk.  

It does not matter if you are trading crypto I think (0.01 BTC is still plenty), but it can matter if you are counting on a lot of withdrawals and on an exchange with a fixed fee for every trade. For example,,, if the fee is even 5 cents, 10 trades is already 50 cents or 0.5% of your $100 capital.

But if the exchange is only commission based, then no worry. Capital just gives you more options, not improve your chances.

The benefit has big capital for trading is getting bigger profits, capital is not the true image that trader is good or successful, no matter what capital is used if you don't do money management then all can be lost instantly, regardless of your knowledge of TA and Fundamentals you also have to have patience and consistency in trading, big capital only makes feel richer than others and not describe the skilled trader.

If all the conditions are the same then more capital gives you more confidence and sustainability in case some losses. It also depends on your goals, small capital in trading is just gambling with high leverage or waist of time making peanuts.

Very often new traders use small capital but set unrealistic goals like making $1M from $100, they use high leverage, risk more and the result is blown account. You really must control your money management and have knowledge and experience, small capital-small risk-small gains but if you persistant and get knowledge and experience you may increase your capital. I prefer having a reasonable size account like $10k or so and low risk, not overleveraged.

Having $10,000 capital vs $1,000 is totally have a different result.

More Capital + higher risk= more gains
small capital + low risk = small gains

We can choose depending on how much we can afford to lose. It is to know that both ways are risky but if we are aiming to make huge gains in a shorter time, we have to invest more in trading. Unless if we are just new and still haven't enough knowledge to manage our funds. Because for those risk-takers, they are preferred to choose to risk more.

Only the trading capital differ, but the profit out of the same will be almost same when calculated in terms of percentage. The important thing with trading is the choice of buying. There is possible chances of making $4000 out of $400 capital as well as out of $4000. This difference is entirely based on the asset that we've used for trading. More the capital more will be the risk and profiting.

The fact is a successful trader is all about his skills and intuition about the market rather than the market capital he is investing. The higher the capital the higher the profit you can make if you are a careful and well educated trader but if you are learning the art of trading it is always better to start with very small amount.

Timing of the investment is always important, if you find a lucrative market that is undervalued then you can invest heavily in it. Say for example if you invested a huge capital in ETH when the ICO was offered it was a no brainier and anyone who invested and had the patience made a fortune.

I don't know why they would complain, but it's always better to have a larger trading capital when it comes to the value of profits.

You could have the advantage when having a higher one compared to low capital.

You could have both of them run simultaneously, but only the capital is the difference. The amount of percentage that you gain would be the same, but you would have different amounts per trade, in terms of profit.

Let's say if you had a 25% profit trade.
$100 +25% (of the invested amount, let's say you went all-in, $100). The capital with profit would be $125
$10000 +25% (of the invested amount, let's say you went all-in, $10000). The capital with profit would be $12500

That's just proportional to the amount of what you invested in that certain trade. Which is like you concluded in your post.

In terms of capital, you wouldn't be considered a good or successful trader. It's always about the results that you get, no matter the capital. One advantage that you would have with a higher capital is that you can trade more than a lower one. Depending on your strategy, you could DCA (dollar-cost averaging) more than a lower capital. That's basically it.

Capital do matter in my opinion, since they both carry the same risk, you might as well go on a risky path rather than a safe but unprofitable account. When I say that you should walk down the risky path, doesn't mean that you should do a hail mary and spray 'n pray strategy, you still need to think and calculate your move every step of the way. One thing that can help you on traversing that risky path is by not putting your eggs in one basket, always diversify and always be frugal when it comes to your living expenses, always buy the essentials.

Having a huge capital do simply means you could have a huge profit as well. Low capitals often get slow income as the gains would simply be low as well. Though you are right that having a huge capital is really risky, yet it really depends on the trader if he has a huge risk appetite and if he/she would want a huge profit or not (really depends on his capability tho). Hence, it matters depending on the purpose of the trader, and his risk-management and appetite.

If you are looking for high gain then capital is really a big matter .


Yes ,  higher capital can earn a lot in 5% or 10% price difference compare it to low capital , in low capital you need to always considered widrawal fee before taking profit. Disadvantage high risk with your money if you use large funds.


No , it's always depend on the skills and how good you are in trading even low or high your capital is as long you know what you are doing .



Yes thats right in trading high capital is equal to high risk. Don't use large money if you know you can't handle to lost all of it.

Trading capital doesn't matter at all. You can imagine if you have $10k, but you don't have skills in trading, how you can choose the right coin to buy and sell. And if you have $100, but you have skills in trading, you will have the opportunity to buy the right coin, and of course, that coin will have the potential to increase.

Sometimes, we think that having a big capital can help us get a bigger profit, but that will not always work because the skills will be an important part of analyzing the coin. But the risk will be bigger too if you use a big capital, and you need to know how to manage the risk.

I prefer to use $100-$1k to trade while I can still learning to trade. I am sure that it will depend on analyzing the market to select the coin to buy and sell. But that will depend on you. If you think that having a big capital will help you make a profit, you can see what you will get later.

I will just put it simply:

Capital doesn't matter if the purpose is to maintain winning stats and no worries if the expected big profit will take time before it happened. Patience after all.
Capital does matter if the purpose is to make a quick profit or having a goal of targeting a nice return within a short period of time.

Either way, both are risky. Newbie or casual traders should not pressure themselves in getting profits no matter how much capital they will put.

With different capital in hands, people need to have different investment or trading strategies to get profits or to exit at price they want (take profit or cut loss, it depends).

• Volume is most important factor when you invest or trade. If a coin or token has very low volume that much lower than the amount you plan to invest or trade with it, you will get troubles for your orders. Your orders might not be filled up at price you want or won't be filled up at all.
• It is easy to exit with $100 for most of coins or tokens on the market.
• It is challenging to exit with $10000 (more than 0.7  BTC) if you set your order at a single price. It is not a matter with bitcoin but for most of altcoins, you will get troubles.
• Your orders look big enough to be considered as supports or resistances by others
• You can see profit on screen but if you can not exit, you won't get profit in hands

Solutions:

• Make your orders sparesly at different price will help them are easier to be filled.
• Make good allocation for your capital to a few coins/ tokens for your capital part for altcoins or tokens, not bitcoin.
• Diversification helps you
  
  • Reduce risks from scam coins/ tokens and their unexpected dumps or scam exits.
  • Might be easier to exit anytime you want.
  • Bitcoin should account for 70% to 80% of your portfolio.

Trading capacity someone may be different. The way to put $100 or $10000 will be also a different matter to every trader.
Trading both still has the same impacts, risks, and also profits. However, it will be different on how many amounts to lose or take profits. Higher the capital, the higher the profits, and the higher also the risks.
That is why, when trading, there must be good management of risks, funds, and also emotions. Three types of management here must be at least to be done.

Let's say, if we are beginners, it means that we have not good enough experience, analysis, and also a consideration. Or moreover, we only follow other analyses and also signal in trading. So, putting $10.000 will be too risky. Never put the capital that we actually can't afford because if we lose much, we can be stressful.

But, if we are a professional trader with many experiences and also great analysis, I think trading $10.000 will be usual, they commonly think of it as a challenge sometimes. But of course, the first goal is to get big profits.

Invest wisely, based on what you can afford and survive for your risk, funds, and also emotion.

Definitely it was so true, be it worth $100 or $10000 this was still risky. The difference between this two kinds of investment was how the investor could manage this two kinds of investment. Some believes that the higher you pay out for your investment, the higher you may get the return of your investment but of course the higher the risk. Some believes also that in order to save them from losses ahead they were try in a small amount of investment, believing with small ROI too and of course small risk. Hut at the end of the day, the one who manage their investment wisely was the one who can harvest grain at the end.

Thought about it for a moment and the best answer is to find why the traders usually risk more than what advised by professional traders. Compare the two traders, the first one can make 10% per month with $100k trading capital while the other trader takes more trade positions in order to make %30 per month with $30000. The profit is ~ the same but the risks, money management, losses are not equal. Which one do you wanna be? To be honest, I care about my health and will go for the first option if the profit is the same in the end.

I hear some people that doing trades and complaining about their trading capital.

So, does trading capital really matter at all?
Are there any disadvantages to having a low capital the higher one?

My point is, having a higher trading capital will make you a good trader or successful trader?
Because what I think is if you have high capital, the risk is high for sure yet the reward is also high, but when you have low trading it's still the same, you got low risk and still low reward.
