How you would deploy a 10,000 dollar account
Question
You are given $10,000 to trade. What would you do with it?
Short answer
Present a plan, not a single hot tip. State your objective and horizon, a specific idea or strategy with its rationale, and how you would control risk (position sizing, diversification, stop or exit rules). Mentioning costs and the option of a low-cost index position shows maturity.
