How Much Money Do You Need to Start Trading for a Living?
When I look at this question, I see the answer in two parts:
1) what kind of lifestyle do you want? and
2) how much money do you need to start trading to get to that lifestyle?
Lifestyle
What kind of lifestyle do you want?
You will first need to answer this question before moving on to the next.
Do you want to party 5 nights a week and spend $200 a night? Do you want to live in a $5 million mansion?
Maybe you just want to be a stay-at-home parent who has a few hundred dollars a month to help support your family.
This also applies to where you wish to live.
If you're trading in the U.S. market but living in Costa Rica, the lifestyle costs are different.
You need to do some research and calculate what type of lifestyle you need or want and configure costs...
Stock trading and investing is a long journey - it doesn't happen overnight.
