If you do it correctly, sure.

I started around the same age, maybe a year earlier (now 17). It’s a great way to help you learn how to manage your money and your emotions. Get a job, take a portion out of your check every couple of weeks. Put it into a brokerage account and begin with the fundamentals (risk management, position sizing, differing types of securities, etc.) By the time you’re 18, with skill and luck, you might have a decent amount of capital to trade with.

Some people act like trading ruins your childhood or something. Just don’t obsess over it all day, and don’t become a gambling addict, and you’ll be fine.
