The process is pretty simple, it's like opening any online banking account. You can just buy/sell directly with as much as you want, but if you don't already have a roth IRA, open one, contribute to that (up to 5500/yr), then do your trading from there. Then you don't have to report individual gains/losses every year, it's super easy. There's a bunch of places that offer it, I have been using Ally, which bought out Tradeking last year.
