The Best Way to Trade with Limited Capital One of the biggest swindles unscrupulous commodity vendors are pulling is to suggest that you can be a successful commodity trader with minimum capital. In order to sell their trading courses, they claim you can make a fortune starting with whatever amount you currently have available.
Most thoughtful experts agree that there is a minimum below which success is determined by luck.
Below that, it is nearly impossible to apply proper risk management principles. Studies have shown that success is directly proportional to the amount of capital you have. Without a little luck, trading that system with limited capital may require extraordinary patience to wait for the system's statistical advantage to assert itself. My suggestion is to pick a few classical chart patterns and specialize in trading with them. You must have discipline and patience to wait for the patterns to develop correctly using only markets suitable for small accounts.
