hey it's clay trader at clay trader calm
[9]
in this video I want to talk about
[10]
probably one of the main questions I get
[12]
and it revolves around money how much
[14]
money do I need to start trading what's
[16]
the minimum amount you would think I
[17]
would need to get started is this enough
[19]
I want to do this should I have that
[21]
amount of money all sorts of questions
[23]
that revolve around at its simplest form
[26]
how much money do I need to make trading
[28]
worth my time and I don't know but I do
[30]
have a guide and a way to look at things
[32]
that kind of puts things into
[33]
perspective and will let you answer that
[35]
question because at the end of the day
[37]
it all boils down to what are your goals
[38]
what are you trying to accomplish you
[40]
know what's your standard of living some
[42]
people need to drive a super fancy car
[44]
others are perfectly fine with a bicycle
[46]
so there's lots of things that go into
[48]
the formation of you know how much money
[50]
you need but a very easy and very
[53]
simplistic way to look at it is what I
[55]
want to illustrate here so let's first
[57]
just say that for example sake that you
[60]
have a goal and your goal is $100 a day
[66]
now I'm not saying that's a good goal a
[68]
bad goal if this is just totally random
[71]
but your goal is $100 a day in fact
[73]
click on the annotation that's up on the
[75]
screen right now that's a quick tip
[76]
video I did about why trading goals are
[79]
actually pretty risky so check that out
[81]
but for examples sake let's just say you
[82]
want to make $100 a day so let's look at
[85]
a few different amounts so let's say
[93]
that you're wondering you know I got
[95]
$100 is $100 you know enough for trading
[99]
with that goal well in order to get you
[103]
to your result which is what $100 you
[110]
know what sort of percentages are you
[112]
going to need well to make $100 using
[118]
$100 you need to what you need to double
[121]
your money or in other words you need a
[122]
hundred percent gain so hopefully write
[126]
that in there you're thinking well you
[128]
know if I want to make $100 a day and I
[130]
only have $100
[132]
I'm gonna have to be basically the best
[134]
stock trader ever known to mankind if
[136]
I'm gonna go and get 100 percent gains
[138]
every single day so right there you know
[141]
using a hundred dollars and needing a
[143]
hundred percent to make a hundred
[145]
dollars you know that's probably you're
[148]
seeing the problem with that but let's
[150]
say you know what I got a thousand
[152]
dollars and again you want to try to
[156]
make a hundred dollars so the question
[158]
becomes what percentage do I need to
[161]
make on this thousand dollars in order
[162]
to make a hundred dollars well in this
[164]
case now you only need ten percent so by
[170]
having a higher amount you need less
[173]
percent in order to make that same
[175]
amount so okay but still you know one
[177]
hundred dollars a day using a thousand
[179]
you know ten percent well I'm not going
[181]
to call this impossible and it's
[183]
certainly much more realistic than this
[184]
option up here at a hundred percent I
[186]
mean that's just as I'm gonna use them
[189]
that's impossible nobody's gonna make a
[190]
hundred percent every single day but ten
[192]
percent okay it's a little bit more
[193]
realistic but what happens if you're
[195]
sitting and saying you know I have ten
[196]
thousand dollars and again we want the
[202]
end result to be 100 well in this case
[207]
you need to make one percent per day to
[210]
make a hundred dollars now to me this is
[213]
very realistic but the key thing here is
[216]
what the amount so everything is
[220]
dictated by the amount and then how much
[223]
you want to get it's much easier to make
[225]
a hundred dollars using ten thousand
[227]
than it is a hundred dollars and the
[230]
reason for that is it all boils down to
[231]
the percents here to make a hundred
[235]
dollars using a hundred dollars need a
[237]
hundred percent to make $100 using ten
[240]
thousand dollars you need one percent
[242]
now am I saying that you have to have a
[246]
thousand or have to have ten thousand
[247]
I'm not saying that at all
[248]
all I'm saying is that your expectations
[252]
need to meet reality and this is the
[254]
reality of the situation don't be don't
[257]
have a hundred dollars and say you know
[258]
what I'm gonna have a hundred dollars
[260]
and I'm making you know I'm gonna make
[261]
five hundred dollars a week well five
[264]
hundred dollars a week that means you
[265]
need to at least
[266]
begetting you know on average 100
[268]
percent per day so use this math keep
[270]
this math in mind for when you put
[272]
together your goals when you put
[274]
together how much money do I need now
[276]
again $100 today maybe you're looking at
[278]
this and you and you have a thousand
[280]
you're saying well you know 10% a day
[282]
maybe it shouldn't be $100 a day maybe
[284]
it should be $100 you know per week or
[287]
something else so you know it's up to
[291]
you to determine you know what may make
[292]
sense but I would say that $100 it's
[296]
just too too little my personal opinion
[299]
is at least 500 dollars now with there's
[303]
different avenues out there you know
[305]
options you can use less money stocks
[307]
you usually need a little bit more you
[309]
know then there's forex and other things
[311]
but the point being you need to think
[315]
about in terms and how much percent do I
[317]
need to make a hundred dollars ask
[319]
yourself
[320]
judge things on this how much do I need
[322]
to make a hundred dollars what percent
[323]
do I need and that's gonna tell you what
[326]
you need so if you're using you know
[328]
$200 well you know you still would need
[330]
50% return to get that hundred dollars
[333]
so that's still pretty rough but look at
[337]
it like this for every hundred dollars
[338]
you have it gets that much easier to
[341]
make 100 dollars that's the best way I
[344]
kind of can look at it again I'll repeat
[345]
it for every 100 dollars you have so the
[348]
more 100 dollars you have it becomes
[350]
easier to make 100 dollars
[353]
so keep this in mind and as you try to
[356]
figure out you know well how much do I
[358]
need well it all boils down to these
[360]
questions look at the math here think
[362]
about the percentages and just ask
[363]
yourself well what percentage would I
[365]
need to make a hundred dollars and
[367]
that'll kind of put you on the path to
[368]
