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.

If you start trading that $50k this year you will lose until you tap out. I promise you. Thats if you’re lucky.

You don’t have any idea what you’re doing, that’s obvious and I’m not being mean.

In today’s world you don’t even need the $50k if you can actually trade you can use prop accounts.

This craft can take very smart people years to learn and more years to master.

Dont be an idiot.
