Trading at 53: My Journey

At 53 years old, I'm doing something that terrifies and excites me: I'm learning to trade.

After 40 years of working since I was 13 years old, I've realized that trading my time for money has limits – and I'm ready to explore something different.

This is my honest account of learning to trade. No fake guru promises. No overnight success tales. Just real trades, real mistakes, and real lessons.
