    Hello,

    I am thinking of learning and start trading to have a regular income for myself.
    I am new to this so don't many many things.
    How much starting capital I need to generate a minimum income of Rs. 15000 per month?
    Should I do intraday or something else?

    thanks in advance...

    Don't expect more than 2% per month as return. Some may go well and some may not. So return of 12 % to 18% per year is a good returns over an elongated period of time.

    Remember you also have to execute stops as well dampening your returns.

    So for a 15000 per month, your trading portfolio should be 8 to 10 lakhs.
