Hello,
trading a small account is usually much harder because if you apply regular money management to it, you would risk max 2% which is just $10. The problem with that is that staying disciplined and respecting trading rules is very hard because the consequences of losing $10 are not that painful. That’s why you will often see traders enter a gambling mode when they have small accounts.
Although you can say that you will treat demo or a small account like a big one, it’s not going to happen; we can’t fool ourselves that easily.
I’d suggest saving a bit more money on the side until you reach a point where the 2% risk is more meaningful.
