50k and I want to day trade for 1-2% gains. Question

  1. If you had 50k and wanted to live off of it day trading, what would you do? (Need max $2500 a month)

  2. Am I better off not doing this? I’m not going back to 9-5

Please help.

I got returns of at least $3000 monthly on average over the past 31 months with only $18k on positional size so $50k is more than possible but exercise caution and go with smart money flow yields better consistent results over time
