ONLINE trading comes with its own risks, but it also bears high potential rewards if you get serious with your trade. Young investors with the commitment, discipline and passion to become successful traders are among those who have enriched their lives with the many opportunities that come with trading forex, gold, CFDs, cryptocurrencies and other instruments.

Anthony Cariaga, a 24-year-old from Bulacan, started trading when he was 11. For him, trading forex was a way to gain additional money, especially since he loved saving. It helps that his mother is a trading coach at SmarTrade, a training and consultancy company that offers free learning sessions and coaching on how to trade.
