By income you meant earning, as in salary? Otherwise, if I got it the other way it would mean you're referring to funding? If that's the case, it's capital. Anyway, funding one's trading platform would solely depend on what one has as capital to be sacrificed. Trading is ether win or loss. This is where MM (Money Management) comes in. A funded $1,000 account without basic trading skill is the same with a $100 or $10,000 funded account without trading skills. It's just a matter of time before all will be burnt and the account gone.

For someone whose 2% earning is something less than $10, what can that do for the person? We should be looking at capital funding for trading and not earning. It's in gambling we do earning, and not funding. I want to believe you got my drift on that.
