what do i do now as a rising junior in CS.

I am genuinely passionate about trading. I am 19 and although I may not be the best I feel that I spend almost all day thinking about the markets -  I am sure that most of you guys are as well. my point is now I am going to be a rising junior with maybe 2-3 more applications being reviewed which will be my last chances. my last two internships - after freshman and now this summer post sophomore - will be at large well respected tech companies. I am not passionate about tech though or even software development if I am being honest. I just got into coding early and ended up going to a Target. so what do I do? I am thinking of recruiting new grads and if not getting my master's and trying to get an internship that way.
