If I have $100 USD how can I start

Hello,

If I have $100 USD how can I start to make money? I'm luck to have saved this much.

I understand and can write lite-c however each platform is widely different. I can not gamble my money. Money is not a play thing in my life. So How can I make money with this system? How long is the learning curve for a know-nothing persons in stocks and trading?

Take Care --

Save your money. I will not advice anybody that can not invest/loose 50x (minimum) your budget to start trading.

Just my opinion...

Trade with Oanda, and only with 1 lot. 1 lot buys 1 dollar on an Oanda account, so the worst that can happen is that you lose maybe 1 cent per trade. This way your 100 dollars will last a long time

Great advice from Petra and MatPed.

Also read everything you can get your hands on to do with algo trading (see the recommended reading list on my blog for some direction). Learn how to build systems that are robust. Understand that knowing Lite-C is only one half of the equation - you also need to learn the science of algo trading. Take your time, don't rush into live trading and ask lots of questions on the forums!

Good luck.

@MatPed - I find this quote from the zorro front page quite funny in light of your advice.

50x my $100 dollars would be $5000 I could loose. So maybe I have a different measure of who the poor are but anyone with $5000 extra dollars is not poor.

Maybe I'm the only to see the humor but this zorro that takes from the rich and gives to the middle or higher class...

The idea made me laugh and smile,-- Zorro ripping out the rich, by-passing the slums and handing out the spoils to people with houses and careers.

Thank you for the advice to save and use my time and money elsewhere..
Best luck to all and good futures for you're trading platform software.

In many articles I read so far the authors said to "start small" with an amount < 1000$, so why not develop a good strategy and invest more and more in the coming month? It is not only making money but also becoming more confident in trading I think.

I am testing Zorro Z12 with a Cent Account at FBS since November 2018 and it looks good so far. I do have a Zorro S version which is necessary to do that. I deposited 100€ which show ups in Zorro like it'd be 10000€.

Maybe the free Zorro version can be offered with a different limit for cent accounts?

I.e. 7000€ is the limit for a non-cent account and for a cent account I could be 7000€ * 100, so 700000 currency units.

PS: Here a link to the performance of Zorro Z12 with my cent account at FBS: https://www.myfxbook.com/members/sltrade/gerds-gift/3153904/HVhtmppasHTdlLAO0mx4

If you like I could offer you for free to copy my trades from the cent account which I trade with the Z12 strategy. You could try it on a demo account and if you are happy with it you can trade it with your real money. More infos if you are interested.
