There is no fixed minimum capital for intraday trading, but adequate capital is essential for risk control. Low capital often leads to overleveraging.
Many beginners start with small capital but take large positions due to margin, which increases loss potential. A safer approach is to risk only a small percentage of capital per trade.
Capital requirements depend on trading style, stock selection, and risk tolerance.
Proper capital planning improves longevity in trading.
