While exploring different BI job listings, I ran across an advertisement for the Online Trading Academy. I started doing a little research and Googling because I’ve always been interested in day trading. Movies, TV Show, and Documentaries always glamarize day trading, and show people who started with $1,000 and now are trading millions of dollars. Although I know this is very rare, the idea of it has always been interesting.
It turns out that Online Trading Academy helps people do exactly what I’ve always been thinking about, learn to day trade! They teach students how to reach stock charts and buy and sell stocks on a daily basis. This sounds both intriguing and frightening, but their advertising materials assure you that anyone can learn their trading methodology.
If you google ‘Online Trading Academy Reviews’, you can see that they have a lot of students who have documented and detailed their experience going through the very in-person training they offer. Its fascinating to see moms, retirees, grandmas, and recent college graduates who have all taken courses and are now able to day trade on their own. Many people said they do it just in their part time, which is even cooler… you don’t have to give up your day job to day trade.
I think day trading might actually be a nice side job for someone who specializes in Business Intelligence. We are all used to analyzing large amounts of data for little nuggets of gold that can help our businesses or organizations. Day trading, at its core, is no different than this. The person who analyzes the data better wins, its pretty simple!
