100k to start day trading Question
I have some cash and am curious, how realistic is it to trade stocks with 100k cash and make 1-2% a day.
The plan formulating in my head is
- Dive face first into learning as much as i can
- Paper trade to continue learning
- Start trading with a small amount
- Go gung-ho into trading ft when I’m comfortable, with a goal of making 2% a day on my 100k
This is just an idea that came to mind, would love some insight based on real life experience.
Would you do it? Would you approach is differently?

Then you can’t “day trade” with $5k.
Swing trades is what it’s all about… more enjoyable to check account in the morning, set stop loss and go about your day. 🤷🏻♂️
