Swing trading is probably your best option <click< for account growth, its both trading and investing. It gives you time to think about a stock. Don't do day trading until your ready for risk and you have enough cash, it doesn't make sense now but with day trading the more you spend the less the risk.

learn about currencies too, its a good tool to understand. skip the hype YT shows, they make money on basic info.
