Hello, Amit,

You have an interesting profile. You don't mention your goals - but they are a key component of your application and thus of your application strategy. So, to strengthen your candidacy, I would suggest first undertaking activities that relate to your goals and that demonstrate commitment to your goals. Second, continue volunteering - adcoms appreciate a consistent effort in this regard, and if you can undertake some leadership role in this capacity, all the better.

Regarding the trading - the value of this activity to your application would depend in part on its relevance to your goals. So it's hard for me to comment on how it would fit in to an overall strategy without knowing your goals. If unrelated to goals, you could present it as an extracurricular activity and personal passion. If related, then you would highlight it in more depth.

Finally, although you don't have international work experience, perhaps there is some aspect of international business that you are learning from your trading activity. While it's always nice to show international experience, how important it is will depend, to an extent, on its relevance to your goals.

Best regards,
