You would have to put in at least $25k to do anything serious, since the pattern day trading rule would definitely be triggered.

PDT rule only applies to stocks and options afaik, and only if you have a margin account. It doesn't affect futures/equities/forex.

Put in 15; enter some low maintenance positions. Simple ideas: sell some spreads on SPY, hold low vol.
