0 DTE

Hey guys,

I started daytrading 6 months ago, prior to this, I was only investing and played options 2-3 months out.

I am NOT BROKE, i have a job and I’m getting by.

The only issue is that I need A LOT of money (capital) to make money trading stocks.

I don’t even have the required minimum (25k) before the PDT rule change. It’s going to take me more than a year to get actually get enough capital to actually “play” the game.

I don’t mind starting from scratch again but this time with options since it can turbo the process of acquiring capital (assuming I’m green most of the time). 0 DTE. Is also cheap, so I’m looking to see if I should switch it up.

Thoughts?
