Re: How Long Did It Take You To Become Profitable?

It took me 2 - 2.5 years.

6 months of staring at a candlestick chart with only time of sales. 8 months of consistently losing money. 4 months of devising setups. Another 3 months of losing money. 6 months of perfecting my setups, gaining more market understanding, and break even/profits trading.

Which was alll worth it in the end. I havent looked back ever since.
