Question: how much money do you need to start forex?
Answer: How Much Money Do I Need to Day Trade Forex? If you want to day trade forex, I recommend opening an account with at least $2000, preferably $5000 if you want a decent income stream. With a $3000 account, and risking no more than 1% of your account on each trade ($30 or less), you can make $60+ per day.
