It's one of the most common questions traders ask: "Can I realistically make $1,000 a day trading stocks?"

In today's episode, we tackle that question head-on—but from a place of reality, not fantasy.

No Lambos. No fake social media flexing. No "turn $500 into a million dollars" nonsense.

Instead, we'll break down what it actually takes to consistently pull income from the markets, including:

The account size required
Realistic percentage returns
Position sizing and risk management
Why consistency matters more than home runs

I'll walk you through the math day by day, showing what's reasonable, what's aggressive, and what's flat-out unrealistic for most traders.

Because the truth is:

Making $1,000 a day trading isn't impossible… But the path to doing it consistently is very different from what most people think.

We'll also shift gears into macro news and discuss Donald Trump's proposal to eliminate the federal gas tax, what it could mean for consumers, inflation, and broader market sentiment.

This episode is all about cutting through hype and focusing on process, probabilities, and practical expectations.
