Is there an age limit as to when one should start or stop trading in the stock market?

Is starting after you're past your fifty considered too late to have that wish to build up some investment portfolios that could provide you with some side income in the short time to come before you retire?

I have just signed up Tiger Trade  a few days ago after some encouragements from a young friend who had invested much earlier. 

I managed to meddle and explore Tiger Trading platform both on my phone and my pc. Must say its intuitive and quite user friendly.

However there are much to be explored and learn. 

Comments, encouragements and advice from savvy, learned and experienced Sifu here would be much appreciated.

Thanks for reading my first post.

    Not limited to age.  Your investment goals and risk profile matters.

    I believe you should start as young as possible. While not legally able to manage the account, those below 18 should be allowed to own a trading account with a fiduciary (usually parent) in charge

      You've got a point there. That's why i asked if it's a little too late. As any investment takes time to bear fruits.

    I don't think there is a fixed age per SE, it is more to do with the proper mindset and most importantly, education and experience. Takes lots of patience, understanding and analysis to succeed. [USD]

    If you're older, you need to be more risk-conscious.

    start investing when you are young with long time horizon. stop investing and go for safer more guaranteed option (e.g. government bonds) when you have amassed a big sum of capital and near retirement

    No age limit. If you have a winning strategy and good discipline, you should  trade till you do not enjoy trading any more when health or time catching up

    It’s never too late to start investing as long as you know what you are doing and take responsibility of your money.

    There isnt an age for trading but lack of knowledge will Stop traders. USually, its lack of risk management. Some traders takes trading as a casino. Go in all, either win big or go home empty handed
