13 year old trader
I am making this thread because I am so passionate about trading and I'm doing everything in my power to network to finally get an internship in the hedge fund industry. I even built a LinkedIn bot to send out my cv to Portfolio Managers. Would also appreciate if someone wanted to be my investment mentor who gives me advice and leads me in the right direction. I've been trading for two years now and I feel comfortable my portfolio is up 40% YTD (2019-03-21).
My goal is to get into an ivy league and later get a CFA. I am already trying to study for the CFA even tough my dad won't let me buy those books.
The biggest goal I have is to move to Greenwich, CT and start a hedge fund specializing in currency trading. I'm trying to become the next George Soros. Fun fact my Hungarian grandfather actually went to the same boarding school as him.

You're hired
As for me, this way to earn is not bad. At least, it is legal. And, moreover, it is rather effective while working with https://3commas.io/blog/best-crypto-trading-bot as the great helper in such a situation. Thanks for your experience!
Do less.
Lol... Just enjoy your teens. Seriously, you'll never get it back.
Remove your name. Echoing others, your teens are meant to be enjoyed while learning a lot. Satisfy your curiosity by reading this site.
I am not pointing a finger at you, but did you know the name of the Swedish billionaire creator of Minecraft is also Marcus Persson.
Yes! That's correct. The Persson family also owns H&M!
Impressive CV at such an early stage - very well done.
First and foremost, remove your name, address, and contact details when posting on the site.
Two further pieces of advice: Firstly, make sure you match your extra-curricula attainment with solid academic attainment: do well at school and get into a good university, studying a reputable degree. Secondly, add to your understanding of trading by looking into statistics and programming. I see you're keen on online courses: I'd suggest looking into the University of Michigan's Python course on Coursera - will provide you with a solid base that will in turn help you refine your strategies.
Thanks for the feedback!
Dude this is troll post, why are you even acknowledging it?
I'd appreciate the enthusiasm and you seem to be very driven. However, there is only so much you can do at this stage of your life, and I urge you to take a step back and enjoy your childhood/teenage years. It's time you'll never get back, and you'll have plenty of time to move torwards your dream career down the road.
Ignore the "just enjoy your teens," if you're already enjoying yourself with what you're doing!
Best of luck to your future, you have a great talent/gift. Use it wisely!
Thanks!
Finally, someone who understands that I'm serious and that finance is what makes me happy!
Pretty sure this is a troll post lol why are people giving serious responses?
This is not a troll post! I am a 13-year-old from Stockholm.
You said you know how to hedge with derivatives. If I ask you a question, can you give me a top down answer?
There are so many hedging variations, you wouldn't even know where to start. You've never traded for a firm before, I guarantee you, you walk into an interview with that resume with seasoned traders, you'll get smoked and you'll learn to become humble real quick, as i have before. Well maybe not so much because you're only 13 as they will like your enthusiasm but no one is going to take you seriously.
Listen, you're 13, there is no reason to post your resume and have any astonishing accomplishments. Don't get me wrong, I like yoir ethnisuam but if you really want to get in the industry, focus on your grades and get into a good school. No one cares about you knowing derivatives at the age of 13 as opposed to a 22 year old with a solid GPA from good uni who knows nothing.
And that is the honest truth.
What languages did they teach you at Tegelhagen Skola???
if you're 13 and swedish you're surrounded by what I imagine are a bunch of young candace bergens or elin nordgrens. yes, work on getting good grades, but work on your other "craft" bro, chase some women. or, if you're of a different persuasion, lots of good looking swedish blokes I'm sure.
life is short, you can be a trader when you're 80. you can only feel up soon-to-be VS models in high school while youre...also in high school.
Yes of course won't I forget the beautifal Swedish women!
Better hurry up and start networking. Heard all the HFs are now accepting applications for Class of 2025 already.
lol
The best investors I know today, including the person who founded my fund, discovered their passion and began investing around your age. Keep pursuing your passion. Kudos to you!
Thanks! That motivates me.
This guy's a troll, are you actually entertaining this post?
What strategies interest you?
This is a shitpost that dosnt deserve monkey shit. Thanks for the read
If you're only 13 and here learning, then you're way ahead of your peers and that's just great. You've found something that interests you and started your road to success early, and that's a huge life advantage.
Because you're so young, one thing you haven't experienced yet is seeing how the world changes over time. The trading industry, and all other industries as well, evolve and the opportunities that are hot now may not be 10 years from now. 20 years ago, the traders in the pit used to be able to make killing through market making type of trades based on their intutition. Now, that part of the industry is dead, there's no more physical pit, everything is on computers, and quantitative strategies are the big thing. As the algos get better and more people join the gold rush, it's going to get tougher for the quants to be as profitable. By the time you are starting your career in about 8 years from now, you can expect the finance industry to be quite different in some way.
Learn all the knowledge you can, but keep your eyes open for where the opportunities are and be willing to shift your interests. Work on building skills that are flexible, and get to know people. The world might lead you to a very different place from trading, and still be very good.
I agree with most posters here - time goes by fast. Enjoy your teens while you can. Before you know it, you'll be done with school and college and will be spending all your time in finance.
