90908???? So let's all listen to the man that can not trade unless he is in front of a display as an illustration of what's possible/not possible?
Why can you assume's results are demo? Just because they are outside and nice of your restricted beliefs?
I exchange real cash and consistently bank winning trades in the hundreds of pips without spending hundreds of hours in front of the display. I do work a complete time occupation and typically only spend 1 to 2 hours a day maximum in the front of the display and most of that is working in my study and not babysitting trades shitting myself over 50-60 pips.
The concept would be to demonstrate this kid what's possible and not only can it be possible to generate a living trading bigger eyeglasses, for a lot people, it's the preferred approach to trade. I to be there within the next year, while I don't trade for a living yet.
This kid has a lot to learn but he is on the path and asking the question in what I believe a pretty honest method. I was exposed to trading in roughly the exact same age. Had the web and forums been around back in my day I'd have been around it. All I had was the daily commodity charts until I ran out of space after a few months, I stole from the library and upgraded by hand. Off to the library to steal some more.
On the contrary, I really do believe age does make a huge difference. Life experiences, emotional and mental maturity, etc. are all a part of what goes in to making us who we are and how we handle decision making and events. But what a great era to learn those lessons in trading in comparison to being elderly with a family and other obligations competing for money and time.
