I voted never

as long as I can watch the screen and I can make descicions rationally I will play the markets

I have slowed down a little . I don't trade everyday like I used to . As I get older maybe I'll slow down more, I don't know.

I will like to add something to the thread with all respect. Family matters

Trading is stressful and demand ton of time and concentration. Well you all know that. In my particular case, I have a 10 years old daugther. When she was getting around 7/8 years old, she slowly and carefully, in a sophisticated way, was pulling me out of the screen. She's now hitting me with "Daddy why don't you retire?" (I've been in this business since very young) Well, you know how kids are. The thing is that , if you have kids and they're growing, they will try to get your attention and the screen seems like an enemy to them.

Creating a balance is the key, but family, especially kids put a lot of weigth in your shoulders when it comes down to trading.

Other than money, trading creates a challenge and excitement. Also makes you a better disciplined and well-balanced person, well at least for me. I don't see my life when I get older, throwing chips on a poker table or spending the whole day at the mall. Trading when you get older will make you feel that you're still productive.





I apologize if I hijacked the thread
