“I understand I don’t have a lot of capital to trade with and I understand this means I must trade smaller position sizes for now because I know that if I don’t control my risk I will eventually blow out my trading account, which is even worse than having a small trading account.” You can learn how to trade and demo trade in the meantime, but trading with scared money is almost the same thing as taking that money, pouring gasoline all over it and throwing a match on it, because you are almost guaranteed to lose it in the market. Similarly, traders who try trading with real money, without having first obtained proper training and experience, tend to feel much more pressure and emotion than they would if they had a solid trading education under their belt and 3 to 6 months of demo trading.
