How Much Capital Is Needed for Trading?

There is no fixed minimum. Exchanges allow small amounts (e.g. a few hundred rupees). Practically, you need enough to absorb fees and a few losing trades without being wiped out. More capital lets you diversify and size positions properly (e.g. risk 1% per trade). Do not trade with rent or essential savings. Start with an amount you can afford to lose completely. As you learn and prove a strategy, you can add more. In India, whatever the size, keep records for tax on every taxable event (sell, swap).
