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.

  • Making trading decisions based on fundamental and technical analysis.

  • Long-term investor in small-cap companies. Decisions based on fundamental analysis.

As an independent trader, I have developed a very strong analytical ability. I use this ability in the stock market. It has a strong impact on my results. As an analyst and a trader have I developed a strong ability in excel. I use excel when I, for example, backtest different strategies.

Practiced on Unga Aktiesparare

At UA, I got the chance to analyze stocks and write about futures on their blog. This was very useful for me to get an insight at an early age of being on an office and getting time pressure to be done with tasks.

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.

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.
