You need at least 25k in your account to effectively day trade without the PDT rule. Trading specific stocks involves homework and research, but an easier way I found is to day trade ETFs since they largely track the market trends. For instance if the market is trending green for the day I'll buy SPY, and for the red days I usually buy TVIX since it largely tracks the inverse of the S&P 500.
