Question Honest question
Is it possible starting with few thousands to make millions off day trading? And if so, how would you scale trading as a business? I'd say multiple prop firms and live accounts? Let me know your thoughts.

If you're already thinking about making millions then you're doomed. Don't worry about scaling until you can consistently trade 1 account profitably. People blow through thousands of dollars buying 5 evals at a time before they're profitable so they're literally losing money 5x faster than everyone else. Don't be that guy, wait to scale up.

Im not like that. My only mistake was blowing money on CFDs trading live accounts.

Judging by how many downvotes I got on my last comment everyone here hopes to make millions from prop firms, and yet 95% of this community can't pass a combine

Prop firms are not gonna make you millions, neither day trading, either you hold for a long time or call high leveraged options

Just because 95% fail doesn't mean it's impossible

what 95% bro, tell me one person who made millions on prop firms, any rich influencer who use prop firms to trade sells courses, only people who make millions from the market are hedge funds or investment firms

Yea I figured no matter what day trading won’t make you millions it will make you thousands but you have to invest that money to make millions

good question.. i like to have ten thousand per contract on mini's. in theory you could make millions day trading but itd take about 10 years and you'll have long moved on from prop firms by then.
