Meet The Teen Traders Trying To Take Over The Finance World

We should be encouraging more people to trade, even little kiddos who think they can make 2 points everyday like clockwork on the ES. Have no mercy. God knows we need the liquidity and volume.

laughable....
 
I traded using my plan and didn’t go astray and followed the cardinal rule of minimizing losses and maximizing profits. This made me profitable...

Prior to this he was minimizing profits and maximizing losses?

Their parents pay/will pay the tuition. Would they let them complete their education in a bear market?

16 year old trades oil and gold futures, wtf!!


Mohammed Islam, 16, got introduced to penny stocks by his cousin when he was 11 years old. He likes to trade oil and gold futures these days.

Investing Style: My main markets now are Crude Oil futures and Gold futures and I trade small to mid-cap equities when the futures don’t present a good trade. I trade mainly based on volatility and volume. My strategy revolves around price-action trading and some macro.

Role Model: "I would have to say that Paul Tudor Jones is a really big inspiration to me because of his determination and talent. Mr. Jones’ personality and technique are what make him so successful and I aspire to become even 1% of the man he is. He went through obstacles, yet still came out on top."

Major Accomplishment: "When I learned that I needed discipline, a strategy that had been back tested, and enough capital, I buckled down and made sure I didn’t make one more trade until I had done that. I traded using my plan and didn’t go astray and followed the cardinal rule of minimizing losses and maximizing profits. This made me profitable and to this day I look upon that as a major goal I accomplished.

Was he caught long in the gold bear leg? If he did not, then this guy may have talent. The last statement from him seems to me to be by someone with good understanding. If it from him and he is 16, then I think he has a lot of potential.

In the meanwhile they may have helped eliminated a lot of experienced bear traders from the game.

The market does not know if the trader got zits, or is a veteran.
