Day Trading Capital
How much capital do I need to day trade?
This depends in part on what you want to day trade. Despite all of the disadvantages, some people want to day trade stocks. Due to restrictive regulations, stock day trading requires an account size of at least $25,000. In reality, I feel that you need at least $30,000 to day trade stocks (preferably more).
To day trade currencies, you can start with as little as a few hundred dollars. This has only been possible since the late nineties, when the foreign exchange market was opened to the individual (retail) investor. For new day traders that only have a few hundred dollars to risk in day trading, a forex mini account is an option.
