This has also been my position on an issue like this. It's not the size of a dog that matters in a fight but the fight in the dog. Anyone who isn't faithful (profitable) in the little they're given can't be profitable in the much that they're given. It's that simple. It's better to have good set skills for trading before venturing into trading than jumping into it because one thinks one has enough capital that can't be squandered. No matter how much one has, if the set skills for it isn't there one will still not be profitable. Doing that then makes it a guess game or gambling and not trading.
True that. Having the right trading skills prior to setting up your capital and getting a trading account ready is the right way to go. Trading requires a lot of things to be in place in order to have a successful career. I mean, you can't have capital but no skills or trading skills without good capital. Both of these work hand in hand because once you're properly skilled, you'd be able to take good care of the capital in a way that ensure that you always stay on top of your game regardless of the times you get losses.
