Topic: Trading is a game of capital - page 4. (Read 1346 times)
Trading is a game of loss and gain. Here one side is the gainer and the other side is the looser. There will be profit or loss according to your invested capital. The more investment, the greater the profit or loss. However, it is not right to trade with very little capital. Because whatever the capital, the labor will be same.
One thing I noticed is that with big capital, you tend to stretch yourself thin amidst various coins that you should not have been in it in the first place. When your portfolio has lots of cash, you will need to be more cautious and discipline as you might probably let your guard down and trade more than you should learn!
It's not every time a trader has a lot of capital, it seems to be a win for him. There's still a need to be good at picking his coins to trade. Many terms and strategies can be done like the eggs and baskets but it's not always all of the time that too much diversification is good.
Trading capital is needed but it depends how much the individual can lose in trading. Because, you can lose your funds for lack of your strategy or knowledge or other reason in trading. So set your mind first how much you can afford even after losing.
Even I'm able to get your point, I guess the level of capital we need to get start with trading should not be depending on how much we are able to afford on the event of losses. But, it should be in the level which will be supporting for the margin requirement of trading so that we will be able to trade along with given stoploss levels before exchanges will be liquidating for any unrealized losses reasons.When your portfolio has lots of cash, you will need to be more cautious and discipline as you might probably let your guard down and trade more than you should learn!
I agree because with lot of capital in our portfolio we cannot be taking untested decisions because which might be leading to big losses in the end. Whenever portfolio is too big then we need to be more conscious while taking decisions. So, if the trader is concerned about trading freely then he should keep the capital at the minimum requirement levels.

The most important trading system is capital as well as in the crypto world of course in investing we must spend capital first, before trading of course we must learn first how to get profits if we already know how to trade then we also have to be ready in any situation and we are willing to lose our assets, If this has not been fulfilled then never try to trade even though you have a lot of capital.
Trading capital doesn't really matter what matters most is the knowledge. With as low as $20 once the trader is knowledgeable enough such can grow this $20 into any amount irrespective of how long it takes the trader to achieve this. One thing I have come to realize is that trading isn't a competitive endeavor you move at your own pace with your ability then grow gradually into mastering your skills.
I am agree your post, yes trading is a game of capital, without huge capital we can not earn good amount of money doing trading. I am professional trader and I know how important is big capital for trading, so if anyone want to earn good amount of money they must use big fund for trading.
I have experiences of trading with below $10 and making more than 20% of profits. In my opinion, your capital is not a big criteria for your success in trading but your technical and money management capabilities. You may argue like to withstand against negative markets, we must need big capital but when your technical analysis is too good then you may enter at the perfect entry level from where market may not show negative directions.
Trading must be a game of skills and capital and all other things are playing just supporting roles. I agree without capital, we cannot get into trade but having very big capital in no way assure you profits; yeah, still you must need good skills.
These days I do not think that you can start trading with $10, because even the transaction fee is higher. Assuming you somehow earned $10 and it was sent to your account, then we could maybe assume that you would be doing fine by simply swapping in places like BSC, not even ETH because that would be too high fee, if you can find something cheaper and still has some volume in other chains that would be great too because BSC is getting expensive as well.Trading must be a game of skills and capital and all other things are playing just supporting roles. I agree without capital, we cannot get into trade but having very big capital in no way assure you profits; yeah, still you must need good skills.
This is why I believe that we should not be doing anything with 10 bucks but to hold it, just keep that in an investment somewhere, buy cake and stake it maybe, and then try to grow that bigger, it would be a lot more profitable if we did it with more money.
Yeah, I also agree that $10 is not enough in today’s time to be used for trading, because rates has been increasing since then. But I would have to agree to the statement that capital may be a major consideration in trading but technical analysis and management skills are definitely the prime factors that can induce profits, regardless of the amount of capital.

The minimum capital that is required to trade effectively and compound profit is 50$; anything below that means that you are literally wasting your own calls, signals; because without a good capital; the only way to make money is if you are making over 100% profit which is not sustainable. Your profit is someone else trade capital; so i implore us to twice your trading capital.

I prefer to use small funds to expand funds, so that I will feel more secure,Many times I am profitable like this, but I will only use a small part of the funds for frequent transactions, and most of the funds are fixed.
Trading is a important to work on increasing your trading skills before trading with more capital so I think reading skill are more important that capital Adding a capital account does not matter if you are confident in your own trading experience. because some new traders come and by cheap coins but one matter how long they hold it is still hopeless to make money from them.

Logically right, if you have low capital it takes time especially if you are very concern with your trading activities. If you are always in a much safer side, the grow of your investment will take time.
Unlike with having good amount of investment to use, you are capable of moving your money from each assets and have a wider scope to find the right profitable assets and the amount of earnings is very decent.
That was my experience when I straight jumped to day trading even though I felt quite confident because there are indicators anyway.
What I don't realize is that whatever the tutorial I watch doesn't apply to the current market condition.
Traded ADA, BTC, ETH back then. It could've been a better result if I just learned further.

And once again, if you are to scared to loose money; then don't trade, it is not for you
I think even $50 is pretty less. I am coming from the fact that ordinarily few exchanges have minimum withdrawal limits on btc which would definitely not allow you to withdraw less than a certain amount so even if you make 10-20$ profits you won't be able to withdraw it. Moreover your monthly returns wouldn't be more than 30-40$ or something less than that so ideally this won't be a very profitable business vis-a-vis time you will need to invest in this business. I think 200$ is the minimum capital you would need to get atleast a graceful returns and that also if you live in a 3rd world country. And once again, if you are to scared to loose money; then don't trade, it is not for you
Trading capital is needed but it depends how much the individual can lose in trading. Because, you can lose your funds for lack of your strategy or knowledge or other reason in trading. So set your mind first how much you can afford even after losing. If your fund amount is big then it will bring you a good amount as return whenever the trade will succeed
if you have good skills in trading and your capital in trading is low it is very hard to gain higher profit. lower capital means lower profit and such wasting time that you trade 24hours and gaining small amount , it is an advantage to those traders that have high capital they earn very well if they know and good trader.

I think trading capital ultimately depends on the trader and how much they are willing to lose per trade. There are traders who can take a $10 or $20 trading accounts to the highs of $5000 - $10000. Anybody can do it if they know what they're doing. It's very much possible these days since you can trade crypto futures and even use leverages. Your patry $20 capital would be $200 when on a 10x leverage account.
Anyway, I'm not here to talk about leverage trading. The point I'm trying to drive home is that any trading capital should be fine as far as the trader is comfortable with it and knows what they're doing. But one thing is clear those, the more the capital, the more you're likely to profit per trade if it goes well - for instance, gaining 500% on an $10 account doesn't seem to be worth it considering you only get $40 as profit. Compare that with a $500 - $5000 trading account.

I am very much agreed to your explanation Sir, there is really no problem with the capital whether it is small or big.
The really thing important is that the individual traders knows what they are doing inside the trading platform were in the end
they could get a nice profit of course. In fact, in my experienced I started with a small capital amounting 20$ then within a week I can make it turn into 50$ - 100$ or more something like that even up to the present.
When a person decides to start a traditional business, the ROI he calculates is 3 years or so, in trading it should also be seen as a business, only it does not take 3 years to make a profit.
The mistake that many make is that sometimes they enter with a large capital and risk everything, that is not the correct way to want to make money, as they say, $ 10-20 can lead to much more in a strategy, which should be clear to the trader is that you cannot become a millionaire quickly. So clearly if you know how to trade and you know how to use leverage you can do it, but the more capital you risk and win the profits will be greater than starting with $ 10 or $ 20.

I would have agreed with you but then again I remembered someone can have that $50 and will still not be able to compound any profit out of it, trading is never a game of capital, cuz it depends on a trader's ability to make profit, you can't say people starting with $10-$40 are wasting their time, cuz with time of they keep winning trades they can make a fortune out of nothing, lastly trading is not for the faint of heart, anyone whose not in a stable mind shouldn't trade at all.

That depends. To be honest, I first started with a capital of $10 (yes just a measly $10 because I'm poor af). Had a good call here and there while making losses but in the end, made that $10 into $100 and so on. I think it doesn't matter how much capital you have as long as you are willing to invest what you can afford to lose. It's not healthy to invest more if you're psychologically not stable in your financial position.
