trading a small capital only slows down the rate of attrition if you continue to do the same things that resulted in loss while trading a large capital........of course one can try out one method till 10000 runs out.....try another with another 10000 and so on until one hits upon the 'holy grail' that turns the 10k to 20......and then use 20k with the same method etc till you reach your cruising altitude and then.....a steady monthly income is possible......but this would remain elusive like the alchemists dream or the quest for perpetual motion till you find that holy grail that is specifically yours....that is the difficulty......you cannot buy it or learn it from someone else.....once you have it you earn the right to trade bigger capital !!
