    Is it possible to daytrade options?

    If you dont have enough equity put in some screen time to see some good setups and like the move in commodities this week-use options on those-there's always 3-4 setups a year but even if you start with 5k you can get your required 25k for daytrading in a year. GLD 151 puts were about 1.20 on...
