5k is way more than enough to generate a huge amount of profit if you are skillfull and experienced enough at trading..
I turned 2.5k into almost 6k in under 2weeks last week (all trades live-called in my journal on this site).
Have been doing similar with lower amount of starting capital for the last 6years now! :whistling
And so you dont need more than a few thousand pounds starting capital if you know what you're doing/
The way i view it is quite simply-
Why the f**k do you put more money into your trading account than you are actually willing to use??!! :?::!:
It seems very foolish and stupid to me why you would stick £30,000 cash into your trading account when you are only willing to actually lose £600 max.
Why not just only put £1,200 into you account and risk 50% of it per trade??
As overall you are still only risking that exact same £600,
however unlike the impatient gamblers on this site such as lord flasheart who take dozens of medium size losses per day due to making foolish trades just for the sake of it,
if you only have £1,200 in your account you will be extremely much more careful, focused and discretionary on what trade you make and what entry level you take,
as you will only have 1-2 shots and so you wont waste them.
