    How long is a piece of string 😂

    Sorry I know that’s not helpful!

    But this is difficult to answer because it will depend on various things. 1. What are you trading? If you want to buy and sell US technology stocks direct for instance then you’re going to need a fair amount, yet forex is more accessible generally. 2. How much do you have? Obviously the more you have at the beginning the larger and more varied positions you can take and the greater the potential returns. 3. What broker are you planning to use? They all differ but many have come down in starting investments over the years and you can get started with a few hundred dollars.

    I doubt anyone will be able to give you a specific figure but if you’re looking for something, we’re talking thousands not hundreds.
