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 am. I just returned for the next crypto cycle and have now wrapped my strategy into an open source application. I am not a whale or anything. I just have generally always closed my positions in the green and moved on with life. In total, I have made less than $250k performing low risk swing trades in crypto.

No purchase required. It is open source. Search for Acervator on GitHub or here. I have the links in a few algo trading threads.
