Though I'm new to posting on the forum, I do have fairly extensive real-world trading experience (if you're willing to believe an anonymous internet post). I realize the relative value of money is different for everyone. If $14 is all you have to trade, then yes, $14 is enough to start with. Is it enough to make $10k in profits? Honestly, that's unlikely. But is it enough to learn something, possibly > $14 worth of knowledge? Absolutely. Make sure your expectations are realistic, and don't compete with anyone but yourself. If you make 0.05% profit per day, that adds up. If you can do that consistently for a few months (while generating income from your real job), then it may be time to invest more of your net worth in trading. Heck, I'd probably hire you then


Don't get too discouraged from what you read on here. Lots of people post on here to vent after a shitty day of trading. Be stable, level headed, and consistent. Keep a detailed log of your P&L, and if you're actually serious about trading, go through all your trades at the end of each day with a critical mindset.

Good luck
