A day trader in their first profitable year, with a minimum $5,000 account, can realistically expect a conservative 10% return (e.g., $500).
"I think first year, you know, like if you are, you know, conservative 10%, you can do that with a small day trading account. We're talking about when I say small, I'm not saying $1,000 day trading account because I think you need to be day trading with, you know, at least $5,000. So when I say small, that's why I mean $5,000, you can make like like 500 bucks."
