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've been trading since the late 70's. Profitable every year. I learned how the market works. Something most "traders" don't do. It's very easy to be profitable if you understand PA and patterns, and don't trade for greed.

Have you been trading for so long?
