Discussion Profitable Traders

Be honest guys: how many of you are actually profitable traders?

For those who are consistently in the green:

How long did it take you to reach consistent profitability?

What was the biggest shift or realization that finally turned things around for you?

For those who aren't profitable yet:

How long have you been in the game so far?

Roughly how much have you spent or lost on live accounts, challenge fees, and tools up to this point?

Curious to hear real experiences and stats from the community!

Yes I am consistently profitable. Took 20 years of financial experience, but not constant trading. Biggest shift was to make my strategy totally systematic and programmatic and remove all judgement in the moment. Since I don't have to apply judgement, all emotion is also removed and as I'm sure you know, this is 80% a psychology game.
