If you really want to day trade, find someone to give you a play money account of $100,000 and work on that for a good 6 months.
Either that or just paper trade, without real money.
Hopefully you will get pounded either way and give up on the idea.
The worst thing that can happen is you are succesful those first 6 months. That will make you believe that you actually know what you're doing, and then you will get your clock cleaned over the next year.
I'm a succesful position trader, trading stocks and options. It's taken me about 8 years to get consistently profitable, and more importantly to truly grasp risk management, which is what keeps you in the game.
