Starting capital depends on risk
The main question is not how much you can make, but what drawdown you can tolerate without breaking the plan.
For a first check, use low load and clear limits. The goal is to verify that the process works correctly.
Check minimum orders and fees
Every venue has minimum order size, quantity step, and price step. This matters when a strategy splits position into take profits or adds.
Fees and funding matter too. With frequent trading, costs become more visible.
Start with observation and low load
Before scaling, run the full cycle: strategy, test, preset, small live size, and report.
Once the process is clear, scaling becomes a technical decision, not an emotional acceleration attempt.
