For swing trading stocks or options the minimum recommended starting account size is 10-15k, for swing trading stocks and options together the minimum is 20k, and for day trading the minimum is 25k. For swing trading crypto, the recommended minimum starting account size is 5k.

It is advised to start slow, small, and follow the head trader very closely. And as always, follow the rules.

Our Pro Traders recommend only dedicating 10% of your investable income for options trading or crypto trading, while swing trading stocks in services such as Verified Investing Alerts are the main means of building wealth.
