My first deposit was $35, i have $40 then, but i decided to keep $5 (just in case) hehe, i have my first āstop-outā in 2 days and in 4 days my account was empty :47:
My first deposit was 200 euros, just over a monthā¦ I had nothing more 
So I started to study seriously and after 3 years, here I am, with my 4-digit account which still resists!
You can skip my first step if you want, and go directly to the second 
Good luck pipletter :41:

Thatās sounding promising! 
I have been trading with a real account for about two weeks now. I donāt want to jinx myself, but I have so far made zero losses at the end of each day of trading. I only started with a little bit of Ā£ to see how it would go, things seem to be looking quite nice. Which broker are you using? Iām using Oanda, they seem alright so far.
I started first with 1000 $ but I lost it in 2 months, I started again with 1000 and lost it again
I started a new account with 10 000 $ I am still winning. Starting with such litle money dont worth it.
well, it sort of is as you donāt lose as much when you lose and you can see where you have lost, and not make the same mistake later with bigger amounts or curtain tail them. I spent about a month or two on the āplay moneyā trading platform. I think my method is sound.
I started with 1k in July last year and Iām at high 5k. I made couple deposits when broker offer 5% deposit bonus.
Cheers,

The value of the money you start with is not importantā¦ Your trades did not become more successful simply because you increased your starting balance from $1,000 to $10,000ā¦
With correct money management, the initial starting balance i believe is irrelevantā¦ As i saw it written best in another thread a while ago:
[B]You need to start with enough to feel it if you lose some money, but not enough that itās going to make you brokeā¦[/B]

When I do go live, I plan to start with $50. Risk only what you can afford to lose.
With that thinking youāre putting yourself in ādemo mindsetā meaning if you can afford to lose that 50, chances are youāll play that money like its a game of roulette.
I had a number that I could afford, saved till it was double that, then put it in. Really gets you to think about the psychology while your trades are on and because the sum is larger, chances are youāll think twice before placing random trades or overleveraging a higher-risk trade.
Just my thinking

I started with an initial deposit of $11,500.00
I lost or completely blew up 3 trading accounts for about $15,000 total between 2005-2009.
In early/mid 2009, i deposited $100 with a forex broker. I lost that tooā¦and deposited another $100 later.
I spent 15K+ for really no good reasonā¦and then finally learned how to trade with less than a couple hundered bucks.
I never lost it all again. Now i do this full time, and make a s**tload of money every month.
Ok, well, not quite that much! but, I do it full time! and I think that counts for something

Hi guys
I had started trading in 2004-2005. I had blown up three good accounts till 2009.
I thought its all fake and there are a number of articles stating how each individual loose money in forex.
I had given up completely ; but you know a trader by heart never gives up till he or she is dead.
Read articles and went to school, college at baby pips.
And here i am back.
Money management is the most important thing. Give room for the trade to move and you always land in profit.
There are lows in all systems sustaining the lows or losses is the key.
At first profits donāt look attractive but as the balance increases the profit factor increases and looks attractive.
Start slow and taking it easy is the key.
Thanks

I started with $300. Lost $200 in about three weeks haha. I walked away for a little while then really began learning. I found a trading strategy that I like and works for my personality. Since that time I am up to $500.
