Hello. I'm new to this site and new to trading. I particularly enjoy the trading videos and awesome advice I have been reading in this forum. Just wanted to say thank you for providing such an awesome site, and how much I appreciate the very nice and helpful people here.

Now to my question. I'm new to trading as you know and I just wanted to get some advice and also just to share my experience with people who are in the same field. I have so many question, so please excuse my ignorance.

1. I don't have the minimum day trading requirement and so I keep getting blocked by IB's daytrading algorithm. What I'm wondering is what instrument I should trade that allows me to daytrade without having 25k minimum.

2. I have so many more questions but now I cannot think of them.

So, thank you again very much for the nice help.
Welcome to the site Abe,

Might I ask why you want to day trade instead of swing trade?

To be completely honest, If you are new to trading and begin your journey with day trading, it is likened to someone knowing just some facts about baseball and then deciding to play in a major league game.

Keep the questions coming that is the best way to learn!
