How Much Should You Deposit / Invest?

Hello TradingView Family, this is Richard, and today I am going to answer a question that I get asked a lot.

Question: How Much Should I Deposit / Invest?

The answer to that question is very subjective. Some say that "a minimum balance of 10 000$ is required", some others say "start small and then deposit more on the go".

In my opinion, to know how much to invest, you have to start the other way around.

How much risk per trade do you feel most comfortable with? Is it 20$? 50$ or 100$...
Those who know me, know that I enter with a fixed risk per trade and always target double.

For some of you, 20$ is nothing, and the 40$ reward isn’t worth it.
While for others 20$ may be too much, and thus can’t handle the loss.

Find that 1% risk per trade that suits you best.

Your 1% risk should not be too much for you, so you won’t get emotional.
In parallel, it shouldn't be too small, as then you won't take your trading seriously.

Find that 1%, then make it x100, that’s how much should deposit.

All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly!
