2-4 years depending on market conditions. The harder part is putting together a bankroll to trade with. The minimum for real day trading is $25,000

The majority of day traders lose their shirts or st best break even after brokerage fees. What makes you think you can succeed where others have failed?

Daytrading only has a $25,000 requirement for margin accounts. Cash accounts can day trade as much as they please.

I day trade with Robinhood. 0 brokerage fees.

Yeah. Starting from scratch it took me almost exactly 4 years to make trading my primary income.

Yuhp, they sure can. However, waiting for funds to clear after each transaction makes day trading on cash accounts completely impractical.

Your confusing margin requirements and the pattern day trading rule.
to qualify for a margin account it's 2000, which lets you use leverage and shortsell. Your under PDT if you have less than 25000, which limits you to 3 day trades per 5 trading days. Your not limited to over night trades though. if you go over that your account is locked for 90 days.

What a loser mentality.

I thought stock trading was very luck based until you have 500k dollars to invest at which point it becomes literally free money?
