Quote from bsmeter:
She was off on her recommendation. A trader should start with at least $1000,000.00
But then again, all there are on this board are wannabe-traders. Hahaha, I love all you wannabe traders.
That comment definitely did raise the BS Meter a bit.....The most successful traders in the world started with very small accounts: Livermore, Buffet, Bill Gross, ...
That said, not many of us are talented enough to do what these giants of market speculation have done. Futures allow people to start with balances as low as $5,000. Problem is that you may have start over and over and over again with new $5,000 stakes. With a $5,000 account, I wouldn't trade more than two lots in the bonds.....
