    The minimum for equities trading should be about $35k. No PDT nonsense and room for drawdown. For futures a little less but not much. $1500, there's no point trading with that amount.
     
  8. With $1500 I would suggest a Forex micro account. Learn proper position sizing and don't get carried away with high leverage.

  9. You may want to check out the rules for daytrading with a small account size. There are limitations on day trading of stock if your account is less than 25 k USD.
