I dont think you should start trading with a small amount because you wont make any profit with just small amounts if you want to make money with tradings you need to deal with more.
Not everyone can afford to start trading with a decent amount. Especially for rookies just starting with trading it's important to not go big from the very beginning. You need to keep in mind that you'll make a lot mistakes at the beginning, and thus starting with low amounts is a must.
