Trading under-capitalized is like going into a knife fight with a banana. Better to have traded and lost than never to have traded at all. If you are a beginner and you blow up your account, you just paid the price of admission for the first time. Now you can either get more money and try again, or quit forever; and don't let the door hit you on the way out! You need an actual edge, and effective risk management, to succeed in trading. You also need years of struggle and losses to figure this out in a way tailored to your own needs and personality. Even then, you might not figure it out. Indicators and oscillators are not edges by themselves.

All traders have winning periods. And, all traders have losing periods. The real challenge is to exploit the winning periods and limit the damage during the losing periods. An even greater challenge is to keep your head and emotions in check during both types of periods. It is vital for traders to find a place and state of calm and peace within themselves if they plan to trade for a long pull. Peter Brandt
