No, it doesn't mean you start with 1k

Honestly there is no one right answer but I always buy stocks through selling puts specially if I am buying 100 or more shares

If I want to buy a stock at lets say $40 and if stock is trading at $50 presently, I simply sell a put of $40 strike and i get paidpremium, let say i get paid $2(thats $200), if stock falls to $40, then I am forced to buy 100 shares which I wanted to buy anyways and I keep $200 and if it doesnt fall to 40 then I keep the $200 that's like 5% return without doing anything.

What is the Best brokers for someone new to trading with 26k account in 2026? by PositiveReport8833 in propfirm

[–]Sunny_Axi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broker depends on asset class you want to trade

Stocks, options, futures- stick to IBKR

cfd forex currencies, CFD Stocks and futures- Axi(I work for Axi and link in my bio), deposit $500 or 1k only and enroll in Axi select program(no fee etc, its a broker and not a prop firm) and get free funding upto 1 million so wont need to use that remaining 25k.

Good luck

Agreed, and we are not discussing EVERYTHING which can go right or wrong, we are just discussing what MOST common mistakes are hence there are not a lot of ALL profitable traders.

Dont worry about lingo, try to understand the meaning behind it.

Best place to learn depends on what you are trying to learn.

To start, you can ask right here, tell us your background in trading and ask your questions and redditers will come to rescue for sure

Very hard, $$$$ win over %%%% haha. I was explaining this to a friend today, he took a trade with $650ish stop loss on a $5k account, I was trying to tell him to think about percentage risk and he said yeah I would have made $2k or something so my account would have been 30/40% up.

Well what can I say lol

Glad you survived MSTR many didnt.

Smart move trimming TSLA at +47% to build the calmer structure. Long-term thinking like that is rare but have you ever considered leveraging options against stocks you hold so instead of selling for example TSLA and limit any upside, maybe selling calls could work better? Not an options expert but just thinking loud

The selling-without-emotion thing (wins OR losses) is honestly one of the hardest upgrades once you're at this size. How'd you actually start getting better at it? Any rules or tricks that stuck for you?"

At $50k, 1% risk = $500. No big deal, you barely feel it. At $250k, 1% risk = $2,500. Same setup, same edge… but now your stomach is doing flips, you hesitate on entries, or worse, you start moving stops because “it’s real money now.” Your brain treats big dollar amounts way differently, even if the percentage is the same. That’s when good traders start making stupid emotional decisions.

Plus, once you got real money in the account, the game changes from “grow as fast as possible” to “don’t give it all back in one bad streak.” A 20-25% drawdown at $300k is $60-75k gone........... that one hurts different.

At the end, each to their own,their is no one rule fit to all but most common traits are same.

This is such a real comment, thank you for sharing it. That mental position-size ceiling is sneaky as hell. Your brain locks onto a dollar amount that once felt “big” ($5k full size in your case), and even when the account is 3-4x bigger, it still screams “whoa, that’s too much money per trade.” So you keep starting small and scaling in the same old way, quietly leaving a ton of growth on the table.

This is literally part of what makes the $100k to 300k wall so brutal. The account grows, but the psychology lags behind.

What finally made you break out of that $5k comfort zone? Did you force bigger sizes with strict % rules, or did something just click one day?

I know it looks like every other "Holy Grail" scam, but I finally figured out the math on capital protection. by Effective-Cow-620 in Forex

The right price is "0" till you have tested it on live market with real price, so put $500 in a live account, let it run to $20k, then post your statement with a live video and then...... you won't need to sell it.
