Where does everyone live/trade and how old.

Quote from Deptrai:

I always pictured u as some trading wizard in his 20s for some reason.

Thanks for the vote of confidence BUT I'm no wiz kid trader that's for certain, I may be a "decent" trader but far from a super trader.
 
I'm 19, and stuck in Virginia!

I have been trading for almost 1 year now, although have not made money from it, still sticking with it and intend to stick with it for as long as it takes.
 
ElectricSavant and bitrend, 13, that what they gave us for trying to help a blonde to get out of UTSI stock in other thread.

:D

Quote from Steve Tvardek:

Just for reference. Often times I read posts and wonder what age the poster is and how long they have been trading etc. Thanks to those that participate.
Myself: 26yrs old, New York City. Been trading a little over 2 years now fulltime.

I'm 19 and have been trading for about 5 years now. I started out not knowing what the hell I was doing, but I've definitely learned a lot since then. I'm originally from Dallas, but now I am in Atlanta going to school at GA Tech for EE and Business degrees. I plan to retire by 25. :D

20, Seattle, WA; going to UW, applying for business school (finance) this qtr. Actively trading for 5mo. now, not consistently winning, but not losing much either due to a fair risk-reward money management strategy w/positive expectancy and effective position sizing. (2% portfolio risk/6% exposure, stops max. 7% if not tighter)

Position trading US Equities and derivatives, but looking forward to learning about futures & forex. Also find myself gravitating toward shorter-term trades swing/intra-day in choppy market times b/c my strategy is a bit trend-biased.

Obsessively learning about everything, doing huge amounts of reading from the classics (Murphy, Douglas, Elder, Lefvre, etc) and paper-trading a mock account on Investopedia to test my strategies. Just started a simulated account for an IRA, as I will be managing my buddy's Roth IRA in April. (1.25% port. risk, 5% exposure, w/goal of 10% consistent returns annually, 62% ETF, 38% select stocks) It's a start ;) I've heard that IB has a real-time simulator that I'd like to get into, but their website says a $2000 initial deposit would be required to set up an account, is that true?

Currently reading about game theory : Thinking Strategically by Dixit and Nalebuff.

51, Texas, been trading about a month (I work nights, so it gives me most of the daytime hours free).
Been reading and studying for about two months. Just learning. Still have 80% of what I started with.
