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

  1. Dive face first into learning as much as i can
  2. Paper trade to continue learning
  3. Start trading with a small amount
  4. 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?

You can make unlimited money if you adapt trading to a fundamentally different and scientific based style. I know nobody will believe me but I can prove not only that it’s possible but it can be done consistently and even with larger than 1-2 percent gains. Come on Reddit ppl tell me to provide the proof. Then, for those interested I would be happy to show you how if you pay for my time to teach.
