How did you go about getting involved in that? I know there are some pretty good subreddits on the subject.

I put together 10K of poker winnings I was storing in a safe deposit box and opened a trading account. If you can find a consistently loose game of 3-6 or 4-8 holdem or Omaha eight or better you can pull out not insignificant wins over two or three years and use it for something more substantial like I did.

Then I did a lot of reading on the internet about the market, ran fake trades for a few weeks on paper until I felt comfortable with the trading mechanism and my own weak skills. I learned how to read charts for buy points and went for it. It was literally my mad money. All that time in the poker room with sketchy losers was worth it. I turned the 10K into 12.8K the first year. I was always waiting for my sold funds to settle so I could put it back to work. i didn't day trade much. More like short term trades and learned to settle for small wins and hopefully smaller losses. Took a lot of discipline and some great help from one particular site on the internet that I had a paid subscription to. Not so much for the picks, but for the members forum and all the knowledge those folks willingly provided. Along the way I learned who made what or who provided what service.
