  1. never ever use margin to trade as a beginner. meaning if you have $100k, don't use more than $100k to hold it overnight for a stonk position. use only that $100k to trade so you don't have to wait for 2 days cash settlement.

    Missing the most important "tips":

    1. Is day trading the right strategy for me?

    2. If day trading is right for me, can I automate my strategy including position management?

    3. Do I realistically and honestly have enough capital to day trade?

    4. Do I have a legitimate edge?

    5. Am I prepared to face the reality of slippage in my strategy in live markets as compared to SIM trading or back testing?

    I wish everyone good fortune !
