How much capital is needed to start forex trading?

Forex trading can technically start with as little as $50, but realistic capital for effective trading is around $500–$1,000 for small accounts and $5,000+ for serious strategies. The key is not the absolute amount, but how much risk per trade is manageable. With proper leverage (1:10–1:20), a small account can still trade micro-lots safely. Traders should only invest money they can afford to lose, and never use borrowed funds. Starting small, practicing with a demo, and scaling gradually is safer than depositing large sums right away. Consistency and discipline matter more than account size.
