Of course, we started our research with, where else, but Google search. We were shocked at how difficult it was to find any statistical information on traders in general. So, we thought further.  Why not use the very database that our Trader\u2019s Blog is so closely connected with\u2026us. Or better yet, YOU!<\/p>\n<p>INO.com receives over 1 million unique visitors every month. Now, we don\u2019t like to assume, but we are a website based on trading, and on the individuals that make those trades. So, for statistics sake, let\u2019s assume that out of those million viewers, everyone is either an active trader, or would like to become one.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out, the majority of viewers that visit our site are 50 years of age or older (52.9% to be exact). Thirty of our viewers are 35-50, 15.6% are 21-34, and 1.2% of our viewers are under the age of 21. This is where your comments come in:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"\/img\/sites\/ino\/email\/2895.jpg\" class=\"alignright\" width=\"358\" height=\"277\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came late to the party at 43, and am now 44 and just catching up.\u201d<br \/>\n-Bob<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIF more of us had been educated (at least to the extent of some basic exposure) to the markets, we\u2019d all be a lot smarter today.\u201d<br \/>\n-Rick<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWould that as a youngster I had been introduced to \u201ctrading\u201d and shown the benefits of knowledge in this fantastic game of calculated risk. I would be much better off today had I been instructed and tested but it is never too late.\u201d<br \/>\n-Jo<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re right Jo, it is never too late - unless you\u2019re missing MarketClub\u2019s buy\/sell signals right now, that is!<\/p>\n<p>So why do we wait so long before jumping into trading and the markets? Perhaps a more important question is, why do so many traders fail while just a few succeed? Maybe those questions go hand in hand. Do you enjoy doing something that you\u2019re not necessarily \u201cgood\u201d at? Do you enjoy losing your hard earned dollar in an attempt to \u201cfigure out\u201d the markets? Once again, we don\u2019t like to assume, but we will take that risk here and assume that your answer is no. How do you get \u201cgood\u201d and \u201cfigure out\u201d the markets, you ask?! Simple\u2026PRACTICE!<\/p>\n<p>Did you know that the average lifespan of a trader is between 1-5 years? Perhaps if traders had a little more education and guidance, they could expand their lifetime (in trading years, that is!)<\/p>\n<p>We all (us old fogies) like to believe that wisdom comes with age, but perhaps the bright young students at Stevenson High School already have a leg up on us\u2026learning at a young age, but like Jo said, \u201cIt\u2019s never too late.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/club.ino.com\/trading\/2011\/04\/a-stevenson-high-update-sponsored-by-marketclub\/#comments\">See how the youth at Stevenson High is taking control of their futures in trading!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/club.ino.com\/join\/?BP424\">Click here<\/a> and let MarketClub help you extend your trading career...<\/p>\n<p>Best,<br \/>\nThe MarketClub Team<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After reading the responses on the Stevenson High School blog post, we got to thinking\u2026what is the average age of today\u2019s trader?
