Investing is always a risky thing.
Keeping your money in the bank is a sure thing. A sure loss.
The inflation will kill it over the years.

I would not say that daytrading is the best thing to start.
I would start with investing on the longterm.

If you want to start with daytrading I would recommend some things:

1. Try it with a demo account
2. Find a strategy, that fits you
3. Try to be positive with your strategy
4. Find a good broker and open an account with a small amount of cash
5. Don´t overleverage your account
6. Try to stay positve with the small account and then start to increase the size

Whishing you the best and will answer your further questions if you want to.
