„One of the biggest problems we see is trading undercapitalized. Too many traders are in a great hurry to get into the markets and to get rich quick. They have bought the lie that they can make a lot of money starting with a small account.
Although it is possible, it is not realistic. In a hurry to make money trading, most traders begin trading one contract. This is almost a sure way to losing what little capital they have. Everything is riding on a single contract, so the trader is forced to stay in too long or to scalp for only a few pips or ticks.”
Joe Ross in „Conversations with Forex Market Masters”
