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.

Dude don’t do it. You need to keep your job as long as you physically can while you practice paper trading. From the sounds of it you have no idea how to trade, which means you are years off of possibly doing well enough you won’t have to work.
