Do you write software? I don't get trading and I want to. I get programming. If you understand both that's great. I even took one masters course (as part of my bachelors degree) in financial mathematics about options, future, derivatives etc. but it didn't click at the time.
I have funds to invest but every time I look into getting into I cannot bring myself to do it because I cannot stop my brain thinking it's gambling. Without insider knowledge I don't understand how I could beat the market short term. In terms of long term investing in an index fund or ETF, that supposedly is more sensible but that sort of feels like gambling too, in a way everything is I suppose, buying a house is too, but I suppose you have to just get your brain to get over it. There's no guarantee of anything.
