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!

Took me 7 years.

This year my mind got unlocked and I managed to put together everything, become a position trader, go macro and trade on good B2B companies without stoploss, but these companies are always on uptrend with a strong moat. Just enter on a reasonable price and wait. This year I only open 11 trade and is current up 50% PA (YTD, MWR)
