Whats easier to start with? small or large acc

hello,

im new to this forum and ive immediately wanted to start a thread about the advantages about account sizes...

ive read in an investor magazine from germany that its easier to start trading as to keep being a trader... for myself actually i start with less than 1000 eur trading.. following a simple strategy and want to gain within a half year about 50.000 eur
sounds strange and impossible but i will try.. im just using knockout warrants and a really really strict money management with only 10 percent downdrawm for 1 trade.
my underlying will be the german elite index... DAX

so well.. my question is.. whats easier to start with? its easier to start with 50.000 or to start with for example 1.000?

hope to get some responses.


its a really nice forum btw

Being under capitalized in any business is a sure fire way to ruin..most businesses fail because of compromise and One compromise leads to another until finally problems cannot be overcome

It's easiest of all to start with 50,000 and end up with 1,000...

But counter-violent's answer is right. Depending on what instrument you trade you also have minimum tick-values and transaction costs to take into account, so I'd be happier trading cautiously with 50k than having to be aggresive with 1k.
