Do you know someone who is successful in trading as his only source of income without this trader trading with a very high capital? Trading profits are not daily, and even those profits are on a monthly average of 10%-40% for a professional trader. These profits are achieved from a capital of $1000 or Even $10,000 will not enable you to pay your bills on a regular basis, especially if you are in a country with a high cost of living.
An experienced trader with $10k as capital is can afford to pay his bill from the profit earned on a weekly intervals, though it may depend on the size of his bills or the size of his family.
However, just like i said, a professional trader can afford to pay his bill when giving $10k as his trading capitals, and for me, though not an expert, but if i am given $10k as capital, i will do great things. I am a regular trader with above average experienced with good exposure to the market, a $10k capital will be special to me, i can afford to pay my bills from the profit earned on a weekly intervals. It is possible in my opinion as a trader.
