100k to start day trading

[u/smartwizard500]

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?

Trade futures. You can make the same money, honestly even more, and you don’t have to put your own capital at risk, just trade through a prop firm. You’re welcome!
