Before the trading system is formed, you must operate with small funds and trade with small funds.
Lower your expectations, pay less tuition, and expose the small problems in your trading in advance. You only need to go through one or two bull and bear cycles to fully mature, and then you can let go of the operation.
Contract trading has its own leverage, and the principal is actually not that important.
If you have skills, you can make money quickly.
Without skills, you will lose everything no matter how much you have.
