Anyone Trade as a Side Hustle?

Wondering if anyone on the forum does some trading as a side hustle and can shed some light on it. Interested to hear their account/trade sizes, daily profit, how they got started and resources they used to learn their preferred strategy.

Get a RIA. Then tell him the names you want. It's that simple.

Also, ETFs are usually permitted. Plenty of juice out there to squeeze by using options.

Short ARKK puts. 20 delta puts offer +15% return on capital.

 

There is no MNPI in an ETF.

Plus the ARKK trade is a solid trade. A guy in RE wouldn't know the first thing about an equities option trade.
