4. I was 25 years old when I placed my first trade. I was encouraged to start trading because I wanted to take control of my financial future and potentially achieve better returns on my savings compared to traditional investment methods. Additionally, the desire to learn about the financial markets and explore different investment opportunities motivated me to start trading.

Q4. Only start trading when I am 36, did not feel confident in starting trading and seems like a huge mountain to conquer. There are always stories of how you can lose all your money through trading, seems like a gambling trait. However, I come to learn through different information and exposure such as Seedly that trading can be done as an informated, educated and managed risk move. The cost of not investing our money is even higher as an inactive person in current high inflation econom.

4. I just started trading officially this year right after I can open my own trading account at 18 years old, but I used to buy stocks using my partner's account before I turned legal. It was actually my partner who influenced me to start trading, and I found that it was a good way of earning money as I did not have to work with people I do not like, but instead with numbers (even though I am not a big fan of them). I was also influenced by the fact that trading is also something that did not require a large sum of capital to start unlike a business, and I can even own shares of big companies because I can buy fractional shares using Webull.
