I am currently in high school and I have just started a live forex account. I have been trading paper cash for around 3 weeks. A lot of people might believe trading at this age is stupid, but I just don't care. I am not the very athletic(I do play basketball) and I do not have an innate capability for school; I just need to study my butt off. However, trading is something I have always been interested in and have a desire to become great in. I will prove. If forex doesn't work out do not worry since I have good enough grades to get into a good college.
