I believe that one can start with the lowest required amount and learning the process of trading through the trial and error method because even if he is losing his capital, it will teach the lesson on the lower level that could possibly bring handsome profit later. One should never blindly follow other's opinion and do his own research before taking any trading/investment decision. I have lost my capital multiple times in my initial days of trading when I used to trade based on other's opinion and tips without any second thought.
I do not like this idea, if you still need to learn when you are making your first trades then you are not ready to begin trading at all, it is better to watch the markets some more and refine your strategy even further and trade on paper until you are ready, I say this because many people that are new to trading make mistakes so huge during their first trades that it is impossible for them to recover the money lost even after they learned their lesson.So it is a better idea to learn all what you can before risking a single dollar that way you will diminish the number of your mistakes and the impact those mistakes have on your capital over the long term.
