How can I get an internship in trading

I love trading stocks, I do it all day even during school/work and I could make a lot of banks/groups/firms a lot of money. But I cant seem to find any sort of internships where I can do that or can even work for someone who does that.  

Where do I even look for a stock trading internship thats not "coding or quant" based if there even is any.  

Also am a current junior with 2 years of analyst internship experience, a 4.0, Diversity and a very strong resume so I am pretty qualified.

Sounds like what you want is a prop trading internship. https://www.mergersandinquisitions.com/proprietary-trading/
 

Unfortunately, you want discretionary prop trading, which doesn’t really exist much anymore. Since the market is semi-strong form efficient it’s impossible to make much money without insider information or a really really fast algorithm that trades in fractions of seconds on public news. So if you truly want to be a prop trader, you should have some kind of math/CS background to ensure you don’t become obsolete.
