When it comes to trading, capital makes the difference. For it hits me hard to know that same energy and technicality put in making about $500 is also synonymous to making a million dollars or more in trading.
If we look back to our series of successful trades most of us would have made tremendous profits running in millions if it was on a good capital start.
Sure we would have made more money if we invested more in our best trades, but we would have also lost more money in our worst trades if we had more capital. When it comes to trading it's all about the returns in percentages and not absolute terms in my opinion. You either make a profit (positive return) or a loss (negative return). Having a large capital base to start trading with us no guarantee to make money. In my opinion it's rather counter productive, I would focus first on becoming a good trader before investing large sums of money. Because a good trader will always identify new trades to make money. Thinking about one trade in the past where we could have made a lot of money is not productive and helpful. There will always be opportunities that we missed out on, no need to feel bad about it.
