If you're actually day trading you will still end up under SEC pattern day trading rules which require > $25k in the account. At that point, just get a real account with real tools.

What you said. Why would anyone not set up a real account and use their app? I think Scottrade, which is the entry-level broker, only has a $500 minimum balance and they provide real tools as well as educational resources.
