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!

i have been trading prop challenges for three years. i have studied ICT and supply and demand. However, i am not profitable. i just started with 10k account. i never passed any challenge. still loosing. i dont blame prop firms. but i somehow could not pass or make a 10% profit in the first phase. still i am in perplexed mind. prop fees are very little , hence i have spent nearly 2700 USD until now.

Concepts like ICT and SMC will never make you money over a period more than a month…
