I want to start day trading on Robinhood, but I don't have 25k. Is there a way to do it with a smaller amount? I heard there are some restrictions for day trading, so I'm wondering if there's a workaround for this.

A cash account allows individuals to engage in day trading without the requirement of a $25,000 minimum balance.

This settlement period can hinder the ability to make consecutive day trades with the same capital.
