for those interested in becoming a day trader as a full-time job, you will need $50,000 to $100,000 of money to start.
if you have $50,000 worth of money you can earn like $500 a day if you are really good.
that $500 is only %1 of $50,000.
the average day trader make is %1. that's the basic

the win/loss ratio in casinos is 48/52. the %4 difference is what fuels the casino economy. (depending on what casino)
the win-loss ration in stock trading is usually 1/3 on a regular day ( us-china trade war isn't a normal day)
as long you can win your win/loss ration to 55% then you are good for a starter.
