Anyone day trade options and manage to be successful full time?

So I started trading last year, started with options mostly weeklies and some 0dte. Cash account that was only around $5000-15000 at any time so I was limited at times but also just ignorant too. Blew my account up way too many times till I was finally down $40k at the end of the year. This year (2025) I started doing a different strategy, buying month out contracts and day trading them. Mostly looking to scalp anywhere from 2-5% profit on them, though I have had some nice gainers too. Most of the month I played with $10k daily and was averaging around 400-500 a day with that, and then I started playing with $40k this week and was averaging around $2000/day with that. I’m worried though that at some point it’ll catch up to me and I’ll have a bad/down day and be losing quite a bit that I’ll either have to cut loss on or hold and hope.

Question I have is how many day trade options and actually have decent success doing it? My thought is to do a margin account with $50k personally funded in it (to not worry about the PDT rule) but only ever really play with $20k at any point in time, giving myself that $25-30k cushion in case I get in trouble. (Have to average down a lot or such.) I’m thinking that just playing with $10-20k and constantly scalping 1, 3, 5% gains on it throughout the day would be a safer bet. Get in, make 1, 2, 5% on a trade, get out, doing it again, rinse and repeat. Does anyone do something like this day trading and how successful are you?
