It's relative.
Say you want to make $100 a day.
Trade 1 mini lot and you'll need to make 100 pips.
Trade 10 mini lots and you'll need to make 10 pips.
Trade 100 mini lots and you'll need to make 1 pip.
Start with trading 1 minilot.
If you are good at trading ( picking ONE trade a day that nets 4 - 5 pips ), then you'll have the capital to make $100 / pip in a few months.
Remember the cycle of trading:
1) waiting,
2) entry ( 1 or 2 seconds ),
3) holding ( more waiting ),
4) exit ( 1 or 2 seconds ),
5) back to 1.
