How Much Money Should I Start With?
The amount of money you should start with depends on what you’re starting — whether it's trading, a business, or a side hustle.
🔹 If You're Starting with Trading (Stock, Forex, Crypto):
-
Stock Market (India - Dhan/Zerodha):
-
✅ Start with ₹5,000–₹25,000 if you're learning.
-
✅ Use small positions, focus on accuracy, not profit.
-
Avoid intraday with big amounts until you’re confident.
-
-
Forex Trading:
-
✅ You can start with $50–$100 (₹4,000–₹8,000) on platforms like Exness, XM, or Octa.
-
Use low leverage, avoid overtrading.
-
-
Crypto Trading (Binance/Bitget):
-
✅ ₹1,000–₹5,000 is enough to learn spot or futures trading.
-
For bots or automation, ₹10,000+ is better.
-
💡 Final Thought:
Start with whatever amount you can afford to lose without stress.
Your real investment is your learning, time, and focus — money will follow that.
