Is it too early to teach a 5 year old how to trade/read charts?

    Thanks for the reply, I was very busy day with work yesterday.

    Households piling into stocks doesn't sound good. There's no interest available on bank accounts these days, so people will look for it elsewhere.

    I haven't looked at fundamentals, but I always have the news releases marked, because I don't want to be caught in a trade when a big one is released.

    I'll take a look at the DTs and DBs. Currently just making with trend trades. All of my back testing is done manually from the charts, so takes a while to look at new ideas.

    If I can get my current simple system up to full speed, I will have more free time to look at improvements and try out other ideas.

  2. He's smart, but I wouldn't call him a genius and he's definitely not a genius at math.


    Thank you @Harry Butcher I'm just trying to be the best parent I can. With such diverse activities , technological advancements and "kids" becoming independent at such a young age AND with no "perfect parent" manual in print, I can only hope that my actions will be those that will benefit and be the best for him.

    I hope that will be the case. However, there are many variables; some that will be brought up from his side, some from mine and some externally and those variable can throw a huge spanner in the works :confused:.

    Also, when it comes to trading, there is a "certain" kind that you need to make it. One can have the best mentor, tools etc, but if one keeps fighting with him/herself, then the hope of success drops drastically. It requires a certain eye and I'm quite intrigued to see how woking with a child will be different (as I've worked with adults before - and before anyone asks, I'm not a "mentor" or selling anything).

    :thumbsup:

    Don't forget, that when he loses (papertrading of course), take the money out of his pocket money, or bank a/c, and hide it from him for later.

    He has to learn about losing - forget about winning for now - plenty of time for that!
