Frankly to tell you, you don't need a very large account to trade for living. 10k account are enough to trade for living. The question is what kind of living you are expecting from? What kind of strategy you are using? For instance in my country, USD 800 is good for normal lifestyle. So it means, you needs income of USD 200 per week. Let's say you make USD 2 per pips, in 8-10 trades per week, you need an average of just about 10 pips per trade. Learn to protect your assets before earning, learn to profit small 1 before big.
Indeed, once you make this decision then its simple math to set your target and start trading to achieve that target, but before this becomes possible, you really need to become a good trader with consistent and proper profitable track record.
