Don't take my word for it, but my understanding is that your personal account/trades are best left for conversation and emails, maybe pitching a stock during an interview. So no, don't throw it on your resume
I put mine at the bottom under my interests bullet. If you give it its own bullet, or even section, you're asking to be grilled hard.
That said you should be comfortable with talking about your trading strategy, whether it's fundamentals or technicals, backtesting or analysis that helped, and about your risk management and specific trades you've put on. Approach it from the perspective that you know it's just a hobby that isn't indicative of real skill, but at the same time it's something you've put a lot of time and care into and you'll be good if you can communicate it well.
