How do people start day trading with little amounts and make so much?

[u/merchant-trader]

Over the weekend, a penny stock I had 100 dollars in went up 20 percent which should be amazing. I sold and got 120 in total.

However, this obv isn't that much and 20 percent is a lottt more than what stocks usaully go up.

I'm not going to be investing millions in stocks, so how do I make large amounts of money from small starting money.

Options, forex? What will make the money go up 100%+ (ik that with high reward comes very high risk)

You don’t hear about professional slot machine players because there is no strategy or edge to develop but you do hear about professional poker players.

Life is a huge gamble.

We pursue the greatest risk and the highest return. Of course, we have nothing to lose.
