- Since I don't have a margin account, I can do multiple trades each day/week without worrying about the pattern daytrader rule.
- Options give good leverage for big gains, so I can still make serious progress in a small account.
- Cash trading puts a hard ceiling on how much I can trade each day. Once I'm out of cash, I'm done for the day.
- Options settle in 1 day. The next morning, I'm back in business with a fresh head.
