The amount of money you started with is not bad,Atleast for a start,it's a reasonable amount of money to go with,most persons make that mistake of starting with a larger capital and when they lose,they feel like the whole world has collapsed.$20 is quite good and you will be hoping to get a major returns from there. When I started trading,I started with a $50,and it was surprising to me that I lose that money,which took me days to recover from the heartbreak and pains of the lose.When you win after making this kind of investment,it gives you ample opportunity to to invest more than the amount you invested the first time you started,and one thing you have to bare in mind is that lose is part of the game,if you should end up losing,don't think much about it.Anyways I wish you Success on your trading journey.
For beginners, it's better to start with a small nominal, $ 20 is more than enough for the introduction process, this will save you more money and can minimize big losses. I'm sure that a small nominal will indirectly create good habits for your future trading because everything starts from small things first. In my opinion, trading is not only about profit but also the process of training ourselves. Can we maintain or double the money with the various plans we have prepared? Experience is the best teacher, trading is a field that can make us more familiar with our own character from a psychological, emotional, and patient perspective.
