I know that, That's why I said it's quite unrealistic to risk 1% of $5. Normally, traders are advised to risk 1-1.5% of their acct I.e on a 1000$ acct, risk no more than $10. I usually risk 10% tho I'm still learning on a demo. Everyone with their principles.. if it works, stick to it. If it fail, backtest and improve

okay.

Interesting comments here. Everyone is considering the monetary aspect, no one is considering the health aspect.

How can a newbie just invest 44k in something she knows little about? That's high blood pressure.

You guys can go ahead and start with all your savings; as for me, 5$ is a good start. Thank you

... I like your laughter and sense of humour. Where did you first learn live trading? Okay, read about the "Alligator indie" and apply it on the 1-4 hour charts with the default parameters. This will get you up to speed while learning some more, and wait till over 1 year to gain near-perfection before coaching others. Cheers.
