What do you trade on? % annual returns. It’s def a dream scenario if you can make it work big w/o too much effort

Trading algorithms have killed the day trading business. It isn’t easy to make any profit on it now

FL peoples: I signed a lease for a new place to start May 1 as my current landlord sold the unit I'm in. Turns out, the buyer wants to keep renting the unit and asked if I want to stay. Of course I want to stay. My new lease hasn't started so I'm pretty sure I can easily back out. For the new lease, I'm still pending full approval from a condo association as I have to do an in person interview. I have paid first months rent in advance. Is there anyway to get that money back?
