I’m 16 years old, and I’ve started to learn trading like 1 and a half years ago. I learned a lot, like support and resistance, key levels, fundamentals, news, and many things (I know it’s not a lot compared to the things I have to learn, especially the psychology part). Since I’m 16, I go to school too. But as you know, we have to spend some time on analyzing charts and wait for the best setup and execute at the right moment. So it takes some time. But I find it’s difficult to change my mind from trading to studies.
It’s great that you’re learning trading, but I think studies are just as important. Trading works best with money you can afford to lose, and studies are what help you build a solid base to afford that. If I were you, I’d focus more on studies for now and let trading grow with time.
Balancing trading and studies is challenging but doable. Set specific trading hours, focusing on quality setups, not quantity. Use weekends for deeper analysis and learning. Prioritize studies; education builds long-term security, while trading is a skill to refine gradually.
Don’t get in to gambling at such a young age. You’ll be spinning your wheels trying to understand it. Look in to Buy & Hold investments, stocks, bonds.
Hey, kudos to you for starting so young! Just split your time, study during the day, and trade in the evening. No rush, you’ve got plenty of time to figure it out.
That’s awesome! Try setting a schedule, trade in your free time, focus on school during the day. Don’t stress, take it slow, and find a rhythm that works for you!
