You can day trade a number of markets that includes stocks, futures, ETFs, currencies, DOW, S&P, Russell, NASDAQ, bonds, gold, oil and other commodities. But the problem is most of the time, you will get advice from the pros that you need at least $10K in your account. They will try to convince you that the more money you have in your account, the higher the chances of your winning. Nothing can be further from the truth. As a beginner, the more money you have in your account, the higher the chances of you losing it all. This is what our advice. If you are a forex trader, you should not start with more than $300. If you have a good system and you have practiced it on the demo account for a few months making on average 50-100% return per month, you will be able to grow this $300 into a big sum in 10-20 months. Now when you start day trading, you should carefully select only one market and then stick with it. Try to master it. Don’t try to jump from one market to another. This will only make your confused and lose more. Once you have mastered one market and started making consistent money with it, you can add more markets. This is a good video that explains how to day trade using a small account.
