The presenter, a trader, walks through the process step-by-step, emphasizing the importance of demo accounts and risk management, and highlights the potential to generate $30-$150 per month with small capital. ### Key Points - **Starting Capital** [00:01] — You can start trading with just $30, potentially earning $30-$100 per month with this small capital. - **Demo Account Importance** [00:40] — Before trading with real money, it's crucial to practice on a demo account to learn lot sizes, risk management, chart analysis, and order placement. - **Three Paths with $30** [01:09] — The three options are: a standard broker account, a cent account (where $30 appears as $3,000 cents), and a funding account for more advanced traders. - **Broker Selection** [02:35] — The presenter recommends Exness, citing it as the broker with the highest liquidity and the number one liquidity provider for MetaTrader. - **Standard vs Cent Account** [03:16] — A standard account trades $30 directly, while a cent account shows $30 as $3,000 cents, allowing for better lot sizing and risk management. - **Leverage Explained** [04:52] — Leverage multiplies your capital for trading purposes; e.g., $100 with 1:100 leverage gives $10,000 margin, but this cannot be withdrawn. - **Recommended Leverage** [06:12] — The presenter recommends setting leverage to 1:100 as standard practice for most brokers. - **Deposit Methods** [07:06] — Exness supports various deposit methods including cryptocurrencies, Binance, credit/debit cards, Skrill, Neteller, and Mercado Pago. - **Funding Accounts** [09:35] — Funding accounts like Prop XP allow traders to access larger capital (e.g., $3,000) for a fee, with profit splits up to 95%. - **Funding Account Costs** [11:56] — A $3,000 funding account costs $49, but with a 20% discount code it becomes $39. Two-phase accounts are cheaper, around $23. - **Funding Account Rules** [13:31] — Rules include a 10% profit target in phase one, 5% in phase two, with maximum daily loss of 5% and total loss of 10%. - **Personal Success** [15:17] — The presenter passed a $10,000 funding account challenge and withdrew $650 in two months through live trading. ### Conclusion Trading with $30 is feasible, but success requires education, practice on demo accounts, and understanding risk management. Funding accounts offer a path to larger capital for experienced traders, potentially generating significant monthly income. ## Transcript know how much money you need to get started, I'll explain it in this video . And let me tell you right from the start that it's not piles and piles of money you need to start trading. With just $30 you can start trading. Obviously, with $30 you can't expect to make a fortune, but you can generate amounts between $30 and $100 per month with this small capital. The truth is that we have different alternatives to use these $30 and in this video I'm going to show you what those alternatives are so you can choose the one that best suits you. First of all, let me emphasize that to start trading it is very important that you have at least used a demo account. A demo account is a fictitious account so that you can get used to trading, how to set lot sizes, risk management, how to analyze a chart, how long it takes to place an order at market price, at limit price, and well, all the a demo account. If you've never used a demo account, you have no idea that so you can watch that one first, and then come back to this video so I can tell you how you can now start with real money. With $30 we have three paths. The first is simply to create an account with a broker, put in these $30 and simply trade them, which is the most common way and I think it doesn't going to explain it now anyway. And the alternative with real money is also to put in these $30 and create a penny account. We're going to log into have $30, we're going to see that we have $3,000, which will be the equivalent of $3,000, which will be very useful to us because when we're placing the lot or managing the risk with such a low capital, we won't be correctly. So converting our dollar account to cents has its benefits because we'll be able to manage it properly. these two methods, even with a correct strategy and proper risk management, you won't be able to generate much money. But it will be experience when creating your account, making a deposit, a withdrawal, and obviously adapting well to trading with real money. going to show you these two methods I mentioned earlier, and then I'll show you an alternative method at the end of this video so you can generate video so you can generate capital of between $30 and $100 monthly with just $30, which isn't bad at all. But anyway, let's go to the screen step by step. do is create an account on Exnes. Ex broker and not just any broker, he is the broker with the highest liquidity on the entire planet. So much so that it is the number one liquidity provider for Metatrader, the favorite and most used platform by all professional traders worldwide. Once description, we will be on the main screen. In my case, this is the main screen where I already have an account created with $200. But okay, let's pretend this account doesn't exist , we'll just minimize it and create a new account from scratch. To do this, we're going to click on this button that says "open account," which basically means opening an account. We opened a standard account, which would be precisely for depositing our $30 reais and trading them as such. Or you can create our Standard Scent account, which is exactly the account I explained at the beginning of this video, where you can deposit $30 but see it in cents, that is, you would be seeing 3,000 cents or $3,000. You can see it however you want. In short, you'll trade as if it were a large $3,000 account and in the end you'll be withdrawing profits from cents to dollars. This means that if you increase your account by 100%, you will go from 3,000 cents to 6,000 cents, which is the equivalent of $60. That's good, it wouldn't be right to applying risk management very poorly , you would be doing very poorly with your many other things. But anyway, the information I'm giving in this video is just as an example, right? If you really want to learn, obviously tons of quality content that has helped many of my students get see here on screen. I also do live triathlons on my kicks channel, train with me Monday through Friday during the New York session, from 8 to 11 am New York time. For this first example we are going to create our mentioned about cents. We click on it, then on continue, and we choose a real account. It is a real send-type account . We can example, in this case it will be example one, which is for the video. Okay, it won't let me Maximum leverage. Well, this is important. If you're watching this video, it's probably don't know what leverage is. It is basically the leverage that the account can have so that you can use a larger or smaller lot size relative to the free margin you have in your account. Let's give a small example to make it more or less clear. I recommend you do an idea of ​​what it means for this stage. when creating your is as follows. If we deposit $100 into our account, it means we have $100 in our account. Now, if we set a leverage of, for example, 100, we would be multiplying those $100 by 100 and it would make a total capital of 10,000. Yeah? This way we would have $10,000 of margin to be able to trade. Obviously, those 10,000 cannot be withdrawn. We can't use those 10,000, but it will allow us to place higher lot sizes when entering our trades. If you don't understand anything I 'm talking about, it's very important that you start what leverage and lot size are , you're not prepared to take this I explain all these concepts on this channel. I invite you to come and learn live trading sessions, as I mentioned, you can ask me questions and I'll answer them as I trade. In this case, I recommend setting it to 100, which is standard practice with any broker. If you don't know what leverage is or whatever it is, one to 100 is the standard, we important that you always know what you're doing. Next, we'll choose the trading platform, which, as I mentioned, is Metatrader. This would be MT5 or MT4 platform most chosen by professional traders, and NANAS is the world. As I said at the beginning, we select the one we like, in this case a Metatriads 5 account could be it and we create a the computer create a password. He tells me it's too long. Let's have it create a password like this and an asterisk. We would need the ending. Just one more number and we're all set. We create our account, click on create account and that's it, we now have our real Metatriad 5 standard cent account created. Now we need to put money into our account. How do we I have money in this account, I can transfer it using this button. But starting from scratch and want to put money into this account, it's important that you click this button that says " deposit" and make your first deposit using any of the payment methods that the platform allows. The truth is that they are basically everything: cryptocurrencies, Binance, credit cards, debit cards, we can also use Screillnet, Teller, we can use a lot, right? That is, even Mercado Pago if they are Argentinian like me. In other words, there's no excuse for not being able to make your first deposit and start in Ring with just $30. Once you make your deposit, simply return to your account and you will see I'm going to transfer to this 200 account I have here. We transferred it between accounts. I'm going to move some of these 200 to the penny account I want around here, about $30. I click continue, we accept, and we return to our account and see that we and we return to our account and see that we now have our $3,000 in cents in that account ready to trade. The next thing we would have to Metatrader 4 or 5 application, depending on which one you chose when enter the details of this account, which if we expand it we will see the server Metatrader 5, in this case, as it explains here. This would be our we just created when we were making the account. If you've forgotten your password, don't remember it, or want to change it, you can use this trader password change button to create a new one and log in. This way you already have a fictitious account of $3,000 with $30 and you could start trading with large amounts of capital to begin learning and becoming familiar with trading. Alternatively, you can create an account as we just did, Click continue, select a normal account, the name you want, the leverage, the platform, the password, and you're done. Yes, it would be a small account like the one I have down here with $170. Once you do all this, you will have a real account and a real penny account trade with $30 alone with a able to, but it is not recommended to do so because they will not be able to use use the correct lot size, nor will they be able to really learn. Trading is going to idea. The idea is for you to get trained, learn, and obviously be able to start trading. And now we're going to look at the last method we left for the end, with which we'll be able to generate much more attractive capital, since we're talking about up to $150 per month that we can generate with these $30, but it's for people who already have experience, already understand trading, already know how to use a real account well, understand what leverage and well-applied risk management, experience in the market, and so on. But anyway , let's move on to that next step because at some point you'll be ready, you'll start researching and you'll want to move on to what's coming next, which are the funding accounts. Funding accounts are companies that basically allow us to access more capital than we have. In this example, we are specifically talking about Prop XP. Propexp is a funding company where we can find accounts from $3,000 to only $30. And with this capital we will be able to start trading with these $30 and they will give us $3,000. [music] But well, it's not as magical as it just mentioned, but this is a different and much more complex difficulty. show you exactly what it looks like. The first thing you have to do, obviously, is create description, and you'll see a screen like this, but obviously without accounts and with zero balances. In this example I gave you, we should click would basically be the new challenge, new exam that we are going to take for $30 doing training, keeping the profits generated, which basically challenge so they can understand. And here we're going to tell you a little bit about how this funding company thing works. Here we have different types of funding accounts. We have one- phase accounts, two-phase accounts, and accounts that come ready to withdraw money. But anyway , in this case, in this example, in this video, we're only going to talk about these ones, which would be the ones in one phase, so that it's understand. Later, if you want me to go into more detail about comments and I'll make a specific video called "What are funding companies, how do funding accounts work , types of funding accounts, and so on," because honestly, this topic deserves a video of about 20 minutes to fully explain what funding accounts are. Okay, we created the account, we're going to buy a we selected a phase, Metatrader 5 is simply the platform on which we're going to operate. A phase means that it only has one goal to achieve, and we can start withdrawing money and then we will select the As I mentioned, we have accounts from $ 3,000 up to $200,000. Obviously they're going to be more expensive. As we can see, this account costs $11,199, while a $3,000 account costs $49. And $30 wouldn't be enough for you because, well, obviously the balance is higher, but remember that with the code we'll be able to get a 20% discount in the store and it will only be $39, so that still wouldn't be enough for you , but the one we have here , but the one we have here with two phases will be $2320. phases? Well, the one-phase one has only one objective, while the two- phase one has only one objective per phase, but well, there are two phases in the end, so they would be two separate objectives. Okay, we'll tackle the two-phase ones last because they're the ones you could afford for less than $30, and we'll explain them two-stage account with the Metatrader 5 platform, a $3,000 account, we'll show us the objectives we must meet so that they finally give us those $3,000, which obviously cannot be withdrawn. However, we can keep 80% of the profits generated from that point on, and even up to 95% if we buy this Adom we have here, which instead of $23 becomes $25. We could keep 95% of the profit generated from a $3,000 account, which is truly incredible. Well, when we buy this we're going to receive a $3,000 Metatrader 5 account in which we won't make any under evaluation. This company will be evaluating us to decide whether or not to lend us $3,000 reais so that we can start trading. In this case, they are asking us to first first apply a 10% discount to that account in this first stage. We cannot lose more than 5% in a single day, we cannot lose more than 10% of the total. And the dragdown, which is basically the loss we can have on a daily basis, is static. This means that we start the day with, for example, $3,100 and we cannot lose more than 5% of that $3,100. And if mean that we can't lower that amount by 5%, but rather that it remained static with the we comply with all of this, we manage to gain 10%, we don't lose more than complied with this first rule, perfect, it will send us a certificate saying, you passed the first stage. We're giving you a new account for this second this second stage. Again we have to meet the requirements, but instead of doing 10% it only asks for five. Once we do that, both in phase 've done it, perfect, it will work in a final account, which we can then keep with 80 or 95% of the profits generated and from there we can start generating real money. So, these accounts that are already real, where we already have these $3,000, we can't lose 5% in one day or 10% of the initial capital at any time, otherwise we lose the account and have to start all over again . And remember that only then, once phase one and phase two are over, can we start generating real money and keep up to 95% of the profits generated. As I mentioned, what you see here is the most advanced, most sophisticated, and what every profitable trader dreams of doing when learning to trade. In my particular case, in 2026 I started doing live trading. Well, I've been doing this for years, but this year in particular I started an account from scratch, a $10,000 account that cost me $99 on the platform, with the discount it comes to $80. And what I did was trade it live every day through my description, which I run Monday through Friday from 8 to 11 a.m., New 's from 9 to 12 more or less, but well, it depends on where you look so you know what time I'm working. And what I did was pass phase one of a 10,000 account, funded it, and withdrew money. So far, I was able to withdraw $650 from that account in two months by doing live trading. So if you'd like to learn trading, don't forget that below I've left my Kick channel, which is an exclusive platform for live content, where I do my . You go, you click, you create an account, you follow me and that's it, and you can watch me day around here. So, guys, I hope you like this video. I actually did a good job. I wanted to make it more like a talk so trading well, how much you can start with, what the differences are between a funding account, a demo account, a real account, a real penny account, and so on.
