Ask HN: How to learn trading of options, commodities etc as a data scientist?

1 points by newyankee ↗ HN
As the title suggests. I am a data scientist interested in doing some amateur trading. Although i understand finance at a high level decently i am not sure if i can translate my R/Python and data skills to be an effective trader.

Is there an open course roadmap that can help.

Besides, is it even possible to make some money as an individual trader not working on the street ?

Would love to learn the opinions of someone in the field.

As I understand it, data scientists learn by the same methods as other types of humans.
