Do You Invest / Trade Outside of IB Work?

Hey all,

I am currently an IBD analyst based in SF earning street pay, but would love to get some extra cash on the side to make rent payments and typical day-to-day expenses easier on the pockets at the A1 level. I have successful past experience investing in my own personal portfolio, but with PTCC requirements, it makes it tough to profit off trades on a more short-term horizon. Anyone out there have any hacks / ideas for ways to day-trade unregulated products, perhaps like Crypto, and what exchanges are best as a securities professional?

Thanks.
