Generally, any day trader should have enough trading capital to enable him or her to buy at least few hundred shares of any given stock on any particular day – preferably without having to use margin or using only part margin. In addition, the new day trader should treat this as 100% risk capital and should not have to unduly worry that the whole amount of this capital may be lost very quickly.
