Day Trading What to Put on Resume

Hi - So, out of college, I worked as an ibd analyst for three years at a BB in USA. Unfortunately, I did not get the h1b visa three times so I have to quit the job and I could not recruit anywhere else. I ended up doing some coding prep classes that I did not finish for a year and now I am in Canada to get my permanent residency. During these past two years, I also did day trading that makes me a comfortable six figure salary annually. However, now I am confused on what should I put on my resume for recruiting. Do you have any advice? Should I just leave it blank for two years? But that would not look good. Currently, I am not really planning to go back to banking but I am looking for a corporate job or maybe a non profit job that is complementary to my trading hours. Thank you for the advice! I only use 30k capital and keep it that way so that I dont overtrade
