Interview Help - Been actively trading

I have been actively trading the FX market through a retail broker for about 2 yrs now with good results. Is it beneficial to mention these results in an interview or on a resume? And if so, how much clout would you say interviewers ascribe to these kind of achievements?

I think it can't hurt. if you can prove you've had success, and explain some of your best trades as well as one of your worst trades, why not? it will just show that you are more mature and have a genuine interest.
