exactly. keep in mind that every time you ttrade someone else is betting on the other side against you. thats sort ofd how it works.
but i still do recommend to start with about 2btc with your proven trading system.

If you are new to trading, you should be expected to lose money at the beginning.
Either becasue you will make some mistakes entering orders, or because you don't have "a feel" for the market yet.
Treat this money as the "tuition fee" you are going to pay for learning how to trade.
My advice is to start with as little as your exchange allows you and take it from there.
Once you are feeling more confident, you can add more capital, but do it slowly.
In your head, it will feel totally different trading 0.01 btc and 10 btc.
Markets are brutal for those who feel over-confident, whether it is stock, forex or bitcoin.

At least 5 Bitcoins and you can start, otherwise you can have very small profit 
5 bitcoin is very big amount for a new starter. I think the novice should start trading with much smaller amount, something like 0.1 bitcoin.
Whether it's BTC or Forex, 0.1 BTC ($25) is the minimum amount you need to start trading with to earn profit as starting with below this amount won't earn you much profit and it would be as good as not trading. I started trading with $25 on instaforex and $20 on ecoin.eu and the minimum I could make was about $6-$10 in a week which is worth it.
how much leverage does it give?
I started trading on Oanda with $200 and I earn just about $1 per pip, you can't earn a dollar per pip with just $25 as the leverage would be an issue.
The bigger the starting investment the higher chance that you get to learn after losing.
I'd say about 0.5 BTC, so you can stay ahead of your losses.
Starts with money that you can lose with 
It's probably wise to start off with low amount of BTC if you are just beginning trading.
Only trade with amounts you are comfortable losing.

For more experienced traders (or at least some experience) there. Which would be the minimum to invest in order to have a chance to profit from trading? I would like to start as low has 10k satoshis, but as I have seen, many exchanges have minimums and minimums fees and that does not feel reasonable.
Let's say that we put a goal to earn 20k satoshis a day (on average) from trading... How much would you see you have to employ to achieve that?

You refer in trading alt coins? If you want profit from trading you should consider starting with a higher amount of coins to start. You won't gwt anywhere with your 10k satoshi. Indeed some sites has huge fees so you will only lose with that. Consider maybe starting with 0.01 btc.
Also make sure you know how the trading life works.
Most sites have a fixed % of your trades though. Like 0.2% so in theory it won't matter what you start with as long as you have the patience to do good trades. Your 0.001 will be growing anyway at the same rate as your 0.1 would have. Just that it's going to take you a lot longer to reach higher numbers starting that low.
Percentage of commission are far good when we compare with fixed pipes. Almost all the forex trading are doing with this kind of commission style. So we must earn more than that to make our trading profitable. But luckily we have percentage of commission with bitcoin trading.

If you are new to trading, my advice is to start small and gradually increase your size as you become better.
At the beginning, you should only risk the money you can afford to lose.

At least 5 Bitcoins and you can start, otherwise you can have very small profit
5 bitcoins? I'm not ready to take this much risks. Even though I do not have 5 bitcoins either. Trading should begin with very low investments as we do not know how the market will react to our predictions. Some people here suggesting alt coin trading that must be the good idea for beginners.
Yes 5 bitcoin is a very big money to start your bitcoin trading. Taking leverage also must be riskier as it will auto square off your open positions when the open trade goes off against your predictions. Better do with small lot from a small investment for a small target.
Personally when i have free time firstly i analyze the market.
I analyze the price how often is changing and then i put 1BTC
After that i make a sell order with 0.5-1% higher and often get a very small profit.
I used to do that in the regular stock market. Buying, them selling for a very small profit, but making much buying / selling.
So you need a big amount to do so, right?
I think yes, a big amount to trade is required.
But as everyone i started with a small amount.
Just make a goal how much do you think to earn (being realistic)

It depends
When is started i had about 0.01 to 0.1 to invest, but this barely is worth the risk and time.
I now play with about 2-3 BTC which makes this whole game more interesting.

I started with 1 btc and doubled it in a week.

there is something called leverage, you can start with a much lower bankroll and do x20-x50 leverage, it would be the same, but the difference is that it offer everyone the pssibility to trade and make big profit
