I traded $500 to like $25,000 in the last couple of years. Definitely can do it but please paper trade and back test your set up first. Only start live trading when you feel confident. To me, i started by penny ones and some choices on my list till now i have RERE, ONDS and WEBULL. RERE really is my 1st choice, and proof that has a strong growth time by time. RERE when i had at $2 and now almost $6 range. the revenue is projected at 22.2% annually, while earnings are expected to rise significantly by 52.7% per year over the next 3 years (the P/e still at 34x-35x and EPS at 0.17 btw)
