Young lady, it is good that you are thinking of investing your
money at such a young age. If i am not wrong, the legalise age to
do trading is 18 years old. You are 2 years away. I do agree that
at least 5k capital is required in order to start trading.
Over the next 2 years, you mat want to read up more on trading
first. Interesting article that I found on youngsters who do
trading.
hope this helps! =)
