Thoughts on day trading

Small account day trading challenge

On Wednesday, we launched a small account day trading challenge. We started with $2,000 in a TradeStation account, aiming for a target of $100,000.

What are we trading?

We’re exclusively trading these futures contracts:

Why futures? Why these contracts?

  • The leverage is very high.
  • There’s no PDT (Pattern Day Trader) rule.
  • The tax treatment is favorable.
  • There are no liquidity issues or slippage.

Why $2,000?

We could have started with less, but we wanted to trade mini contracts like the ES, not micro contracts like the MES. It’s a matter of preference and habit.

Why $100,000?

Because that’s the number where day trading can replace a full-time job. For reference, the average salary in the U.S. falls between $59K and $66K per year.

Why are we doing this?

To prove a point: Day trading success is all about discipline, and anyone can achieve it — even with limited funds.

But there’s more we want to prove:

Beymann Capital is working on something that will revolutionize day trading for the masses. Before launching it, we need to build a public, verifiable track record. We want to show that we’re legitimate. Broker statements alone aren’t enough anymore — people aren’t naive and know how easy it is to fake them.

The solution? TRADE IN PUBLIC 🚀

Tune in on YouTube every business day from 7:30 AM PT to 10:00 AM PT and watch us trade live.

On this account, we open and close positions in real time — no shady business, just transparency at its peak.

After each session, we post a quick recap with our daily stats on Instagram, TikTok, X, and Discord.
