...does one start out with when you don't have more than $5000 capital to invest, and you are new to trading? Or is this impossible! Thanks.

Strategic point No. 1 - don't "invest" any capital until you've read, studied, practised what you see here, in other reputable places and in all the standard recommended texts. You will probably find this hard to comply with but it could be the first step on your road to developing the discipline needed to be successful.

Good luck - if you want a mental challenge, you've chosen the right subject.

What 0007 said, plus your choice of market/instrument goes a long way toward determining whether $5000 is sufficient or not. If you're trading forex, it's fine. Stocks are probably ok. Futures may be problematic depending on the market.
