Quote from rateesquad:

For instance, I began trading at the age of 15. I was an investor at first. Usually making 2-5 trades a month, trading equities. Then I switched to TA when I was 16 and started to swing trade.
At the age of 17 I started to trade forex.
Now I am 18 years old since last week. And getting into futures.

The event that lead to the my obsession with trading was my experience with the banks. As you know, banks offer 2-% on checking accounts. And around 5.5% on CD's. I was sure I can do more than that in stock market. Guess what, I did. And, now I am hooked like so many of ET participants.

When I was 18 the only risk I took on was forgetting to wear protection.

I was quite the risk taker in those days.

In this time of age......you have to hedge the risk........so for that I use options.......lol........usually that is protection.
College is a great Place...........love it.
 
Quote from Longhorns:

I guess there aren't any 30-40 year old traders? :confused:

I think I aged about 20 years since last May. That makesme about 50 in trading years. :(
 
I was 20 when I started trading. Some guys on my dorm floor had turned a few thousand into 80-90,000 buying and holding tech startups like egghead.com. I thought it sounded fun and easy. This was right before the tech crash in 2000. I made some trades with $500 in an E-trade account that summer. Then some swing trades with $5,000 in the fall on a combination of technical and fundamental analysis. Been a TA hobbiest ever since.
 
I'm 7 years old. My parents got me started in futures trading (Bunds on EUREX) when I was 4 years old looking for patterns and understanding fundamentals.

I go to school but spend about 5 hours trading an account each day. I guess because I have not experienced emotional worries I just pull the trigger.

Tiger Woods started young - look at him now.
