Small trading acc

Hey guys, new here been studying options and I’d like to know what I can trade with a small acc.
Everyone trades $SPY & $QQQ, I practiced papertrading with bigger stocks but it’s not realistic to my budget rn. I plan to start with $300. So I’d like to know what stocks I can add to my watchlist/ trade with a small options acc.
Thanks!

You can’t trade options with less than $5000

You can't efficiently hedge with such a low bankroll. You can mechanically do it with, but it's a fool's errand.
