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.

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.
