Interesting. I hear a lot more people are getting into trading these days. What is your favourite part about it?
I'm not sure why it's fun, but I've been reading all I can about it, watching a ton of videos, and joining all the stock groups I can find. 
That is a good idea, I think reading and educating yourself, or finding a mentor is key. I think people like trading because it's sort of like gambling?
I've never been a gambler so that's not it for me. I have been wanting to start for years but decided to jump in after talking to my dad and cousin who are doing well. they've been giving me tips and info as well.
That is helpful, having some guidance. Are you a doing day trading?
I haven't started day trading. Just bought some long term holds for now. been researching swing trading. but day trading you are required to have at least $25k in your account which I'm no where near that. 
Yes, it seems like that is a reason most day trading beginners are undercapitalized, which gives them a disadvantage from the start. It also leads to irrational decisions. It definitely makes a huge difference if you are starting from 25 or 500k.t 
you'll get your account locked for 90 days if you make more than 3 day trades in a week without $25k cash available. but that's okay, I'm not skilled enough at reading charts yet to know which stocks to pick for good day trades. 
That is probably a good decision. Day trading in any market is just dealing with odds. And, if you are not a big gambler, investing long term can be a safer, more reliable option. 
I'll find out in a year or two if I picked good stocks to invest in. LOL
