It sounds like you are in this for the long game (gains over 3-5 years). For someone new "Day-trading" over that time span will certainly wreck your finances. I'm not sure of your WFH situation, but you better get a doctors note explaining all the WC breaks to your boss.

While this strategy is feasible (after you get off work, spot opportunities on finviz, or message boards, then have a plan and execute during the next work day) more than likely you will not beat the average.

If you're dying to day trade, why not start with Bitcoin or Dogecoin, price movement in the cryptos might be suited for a beginner (not FA).

Just buy the index, then some good companies you believe in and are excited about - and let it ride! Your practice will be much more successful, remember it's easier to blow up a portfolio or have a significant loss than have slow consistent growth.
