Would you put day trading on your resume?

[glyder]

I’ve come across quite a few CVs where one of the activities has been forex trading for a period of time. It seems like a decent gap filler. Its normally regarded as neutral to positive by business heads and HR depts in my experience. So long as you can talk sensibly about it at interview.
Sometimes applicants add the forex courses they have taken to their CV as if they are a positive, that always makes me wonder a little more.

to the OP, yes, put in on your resume. Even if you failed, interviewers appreciate honesty and self-awareness

Honesty is always welcome.... but when it comes to getting a job, HR people look into what the job seeker can offer the company, and putting 'day trading' in the resume may or may not necessarily help in that regard.
