Is it really possible to make a profit of 1,000 Baht per day from stock trading?

Playing stocks to earn consistent profits is a question that many beginner investors often wonder about. This article will honestly say that it is possible but requires preparation and strict discipline in trading.

Preparing to Enter the Stock Market

1. Knowledge and understanding of the market

In an era of rising inflation and increasing living costs, saving money with traditional methods is no longer sufficient. For example, cash savings of at least 100,000 THB in fixed deposits may yield only 2-5% per year, or just 200-400 THB per month.

This is why investors need to study stock market knowledge. You can start by reading books, watching online educational content, or joining short-term cash flow-focused trading courses.

2. How much initial capital

In reality, there is no fixed amount of capital that is “correct,” but it can be considered based on profit goals:

Moderate capital: 1,000 USD (approximately 34,000 THB)

• To make a profit of 1,000 THB per day, you need a daily return of 3-4%

Recommended capital: 3,000 USD (approximately 100,000 THB)

• To make a profit of 1,000 THB per day, you need a daily return of 1% or more

With less capital, the risk increases accordingly because money management must be more rigorous.

3. Choosing tools and platforms

Selecting the right trading platform is very important. Make sure:

• It has a license from a reputable regulatory authority
• It offers competitive spreads
• It meets international standards
• Deposits and withdrawals are easy

Advice for beginners: Try using a demo account with virtual money (Demo Account) to practice tools and adjust your money management approach before trading with real money.
