So, I've been testing various brokerages for day trading these days, and I found it interesting how each one has its niche. It's not as simple as choosing the best brokerage for day trading as it seems because it really depends on what you want to do.

Mitrade caught my attention because it's very easy to use and offers CFDs on various markets — forex, indices, crypto. No commission, just the spread. For those who want to start with a demo account and test strategies without risk, it works. But there's the downside that it has high leverage (up to 1:200), which is a double-edged sword — it amplifies profits but also losses very quickly if you don't know what you're doing.

XP Investimentos is more traditional, with direct access to B3, but the fees are higher. Interactive Brokers is too comprehensive for beginners, with a heavy interface. Clear offers zero brokerage fees on stocks, which is nice for reducing operational costs. eToro has that copy-trader feature, but it's not focused on true day trading.

What I realized is that there is no absolute best brokerage for day trading — it depends on whether you want to trade Brazilian stocks, global CFDs, or if you're starting from scratch. And honestly: most of these platforms let you test with virtual money before risking real money. I think that's the most important step because on paper it seems easy, but in practice, it's a whole different level.

Does anyone here have experience with day trading? Which do you think is more worth it?
