I would like to trade as much as possible, how many trades can I put on a day?
Trading success does not depend on quantity and you should NEVER aim to make “x” amount of trades per day.
Quality over quantity, always.
Part of successful trading is knowing when NOT to trade.
We only select the best opportunities, sometimes there are lots in a single day and sometimes not.
Being a successful trader involves: the skill of picking the best trades; the method of instituting, and following, a solid trading plan; and the discipline of sticking to it!
Be patient, and clinical, with both your trades and set-ups.

If trading the more liquid stocks (hence 'more volatile'?), then expectation is higher rewards v. higher risks. If you have small trading capital, then you may not be able to trade many of these stocks?
With spread betting you can trade decent lot size but as always, leverage is a double-edged sword. You must manage risk, otherwise your one bad trade could wipe you out. More liquid does not mean more volatile. In many cases, just the opposite as it ...
