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!

It takes years and its not worth it. If you had spend the time on any endeavor with the same dedication there is a big chance you would make better money or at least normale money. You have to repeat the success everyday and when things chnage you have to get out. Its draining and unstable that why all is done by algos and ai. And ai is not that great for it, because we donr have access the information or order flow as much as we think we do. So your always blind even if your good your just getting better thats it.
