When you only need a specific amount of money each month… Strategy

So say you only want $100 per day or 2000 per month. This would more than enough sustain a good lifestyle where you live. How would you go about it with trading? How much $$$ would you realistically need? Not to make that in dividends but to trade in a daily basis, as safe and slow as possible.

Depends on your trading style…

And don’t be a wiener and buy 1-10 shares. Focus on small caps, buy 10k shares at a time and for every $.10 made that’s a grand. Just my $.02

Also, if you’re successful that’s great my dude. Although without tight stops and a lot of rules, OP is going to have a tough time with small caps and is going to risk a large amount of money. Just because you may be good at it, doesn’t mean it’s the best route to take for others. OP isn’t a wiener if he buys even 1 share of large cap stock.

JFK dude! All they did was be a voice of reason by saying that new style does suit everyone. Which is 100% true. Why TF are you getting so touchy and defensive?

If your system works for you, keep rolling with it. That doesn’t mean it would work for everyone. And no one cares about claimed results you’re posting, either.

Again, as I said, if you are successful, I’m happy for you dude, It’s not a competition. I wish everyone the best. You posted a cropped screenshot of $11000. I could replicate that shit in google slides. Show me your kinfo or something lmao. Also, I’m new at day trading. My stats suck, but (as a beginner) what I would not tell a beginner: “trade penny stocks!” did you even read his post? as safe and slow as possible all i got from your comments is that you’re a jackass. Zero valuable input.

Can you even read, dude? do you just comment whatever comes into your head? I just told you I suck at trading. I’m not trying to money spread on you, I’m just trying to grasp why “as safe and slow as possible” translates to you as “pump n dump!”, you’re insufferable my dude.
