$700 and a dream.
But I actually started trading in 2021 with around $8,000. Blew that account down to nearly $2,000, then managed to turn it into $40k by the end of the 2021 bull market.
A few weeks into the 2022 bear market, I blew that $40k back down under $5,000
You do not need a lot of money to start.
In fact, you probably should start small.
Learn the basics. Find a strategy that fits you. Focus on risk management and consistency, then slowly build your way up over time.
I was talking to another trader the other day about our experiences and how powerful compounding really is in this game.
3 months: $20k to $100k
Next 5 months: $100k to $400k+
Within 14 months: $1M+
Compounding is incredible. With discipline, it will put you ahead of 95% of traders.
I just listened to an audible book that explained meditation and prayer and manifestation not as “creating new realties” but as “coming into agreement with a reality that already exists” and that just changed my life forever
Maturing is realizing when you wake up randomly at 3am or 4am you’re supposed to pray. Over your home, over your children. Then sit and listen to what God tells you to do next
