Yes, it's definitely possible, but don't put any money in the market (and I mean any money) until you've spent at least months studying charts. There are a million ways to approach it - swing trade, day trade, short-selling, options, etc. If you'd like to day trade look up CamTheMan, Steven Dux, and Ross Cameron (Cameron, I know, wrote a book on day trading). You'll definitely need hot keys on your computer for that.
For swing trading (and day trading), you should probably know how the candlesticks of the old Japanese rice traders are used. Look up Stephen Bigalow who wrote a good book on that and also has a ton of decent trading videos like the one here I picked at random. -
Key rule - cut your losses quickly otherwise you'll become a 'bag holder' and likely stuck in a stock going the wrong way for a very long time (the cycle can take at least several months on the weekly chart). And that is a very, very, life-sapping, soul-sucking, bank-account-destroying experience that you really, really, really don't want.
