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.
This must be a right suggestion. Mostly when a newbie enters into trading he will trade similar to gambling with more greediness.
A beginner must trade with very small amount, but they are preferring to have big profits and want to trade with the big capital from day one itself. Moreover, everyone wants to become a profit making trader from day one itself.
