How to Start Trading With Little Money

You can start trading with little money—many brokers have low or no minimum deposit. The key is to treat that small account as a learning account: focus on process and risk, not on getting rich fast.

Use position sizing so no single trade risks more than 1–2% of your account. Avoid over-trading to "make up" for size; small, consistent gains compound. Some platforms also offer fractional shares so you can buy expensive stocks with limited capital.
