The fees are flat so it doesn't really matter.

I think trading with small amounts is fine as you get to learn about the market.  And there is still plenty of potential for profit.

I wonder if some of you trade with very low amounts like $60 in BTC. Is there a chance that you can maximize that small amount by trading?

I tried doing so some months ago - just a small test amount, to see how I'd do. I did manage to increase it by some 5% - 10%, but not only do fees start getting to you with low amounts (though that depends on where you're doing the trading), but you also have less of a room to maneuver if something goes wrong.

Anyway, I'm far from being a professional trader, or even a good one for that matter, so don't take my word for it. Cheesy

That's why I ask. I tried trading on btc-e and gained some small pennie amounts too but then I decided to send my bits back to my wallet. I thought it would be way too risky, as you said, you have not much room to play with it. But same as you, I am just someone who tried, who has no idea about trading.
