This is a good decision if you have that capital for a start. If you can achieve the 1 or 2% rule, you’ll be safer.
Here is the bottom line, I have been in trading forums for years now, I don’t comment much but there is one thing I see constantly, when a thread is started and a question is asked or a strategy is talked about you get many different opinions, and the answer never really gets answered, like here some say leverage is bad for beginners, some say trading no leverage is not profitable, truth is you have to dig deep don’t give up, try different things use demo accounts to your advantage, always before risking money, math and research dedication will help you win consistently, traders are like snow flakes we are all different you have to find what suits you best and master your style. Happy trading and good luck
