wrong and irrelevant. what 11 year old owns their own car??

seriously, this is getting weird.

You accuse me of lacking nuance and then attack my comment on literal terms?

Hilarious!

Now, aside from the fact that you know what I was driving at, how about providing a link that states that it's illegal for a minor to own land and/or a motor vehicle?

A minor can't contract dumbass

ofcourse it's not illegal but impossible for minor to purchase as he can't contract

I'm asking you what should be the process from newb to successful trader. What's my thought process step by step?

Seriously, be prepared and ready to lose. accepting losses as part of the game is one of the most difficult thought processes to develop.

1. know your equipment

2. know the market that you are trading

3. set your size traded so you can have multiple losers without blowing out.

4. experiment with techniques untill you find one that fits you.
