The investment capital of a trader is the number of financial resources available for trading. In terms of money or assets, it could be in the form of a loan.
It is important to remember that investing is just one method of generating wealth with capital, so investment capital is often just a portion of a trader's total capital available.
Any trading strategy depends on the allocation and use of investment capital. Investing capital in a variety of asset classes and products is recommended by most strategies. By multiplying profits and losses from an initial deposit, leverage allows you to make investment capital go further.
