A good amount to start off with really depends on what market you want to trade. I love trading for a living and, yes, anyone can do it but you better be educated in what your trading or your feeling will get hurt. Early on in my education process I started trading options strategies and turned $2K to 25K in two months but then six months later lost nearly $30K in one week...all because of my inexperience. If you drop the emotion and learn how to hegde your trade you will always be in good shape.
