$1000 from $1 is almost impossible. However, I firmly believe that a good trader can make $1000 from $10. We need to use a leverage of 1:2000 and trade only 0.01 lot. This will keep more than 90% of the capital free. We need to target 10 pip a day which will give us 50% return per week. In a matter of four months we can reach the target, at least theoretically. I have seen a trader who traded bonus money of $8 and profited around $175. Such traders may be able to achieve such a target. However, trading with $1 is nothing but an impossible task.
