Everyone will be different ...

Everyone will be different ... but my experience was that when I went to apply my statistical skills to securities trading it ended up boring me. I keep thinking that it is a good idea because where else can being "correct" lead so directly to measurable spendable success. However, when I actually spent some time doing it with my own capital I just didn't find my mind really energized by the challenge. And, I found that active trading really requires time and energy commitment that a buy and hold approach doesn't. This was many years ago and the automated trading tools were too expensive for the amount of capital that I had available. Maybe today would be different. Maybe a hedge fund environment rather than solo trader would be better.
