Stock Trading Website?

So I just turned 18 yesterday, and was looking into possibly investing in some stocks. I know there are millions of different websites out there. I would probably do some day trades, I have about 2000 to start, possibly more. Was wondering which stock trading website would be the best for me. Or any possible benefits/cons of certain trading websites from experience.

Sparknotes: Which stock trading website is the best. (No I'm not looking for stock advice)

Thanks.

I'd wait until you have about 500-800 saved up, otherwise your wasting your time.

holy shit not what i wanted to say at all sorry its late. do 500-800 if your new and have no idea what you are doing you will lose a shit load. its a lot of research and putting your dick on the table and hoping it doesn't get cut off. but youd be wasting 2g's start smaller

i mean e trade has tools but i would be surprised if you knew how to use them, it sounds like you don't know much so start with mad money on tv, and a few other shows never get all your info from one person. if you really want to get into it then i would start with this book Click for larger image
