수익 내기까지 얼마나 걸리셨나요? ⏳

it took me about 3 years before i stopped treating trading like gambling. that was the real turning point. not some magical indicator or course. just finally accepting that boring consistency beats adrenaline

Personally, it took me over 8 years to finally become profitable lol. Like many others, I started trading around COVID.

I followed all the trading gurus on youtube, watched all their videos religiously, and could never make it work.

I traded part-time for for the first few years, but eventually focused 100% on day trading.

After a certain point, around year 7-8, I finally got fed up with all the conflicting advice on youtube, all the fake gurus, and finally stripped away all the noise.

I unfollowed all the gurus, removed all indicators from my charts, and started from scratch.

I'd simply watch the charts and observed price action.

I placed trades and simply watched how price behaved around my entry.

From there, I played around with different ways to take profit, manage DD, experimented with different ways to manage risk, etc.

I formed my own observations and insights and eventually developed my own personal edge that looked nothing like what all the gurus and mainstream advice was teaching.

Too often, we seek external advice, when your greatest edge will come from your own direct experiences, observations, reflections, and subconscious pattern recognition as a result of prolonged screentime.

You have to train your eyes, and then train your execution and risk management to the point where it becomes second nature.

It will take time, but doing it this way will speed up your progress much faster than if you were to keep hopping from one strategy/guru to the other. Focus on your own process and you'll eventually figure it out.

Every trader goes through a period of hopelessness and confusion, but if you keep practicing on demo, you'll begin to gain insight after insight.

You have to be patient and not be so hard on yourself. Just keep practicing. Keep journaling. You'll get there!

Hope this helps.

It takes until you start having proper risk management and sticking to your rules.

Started trading in 2014. It clicked for me in 2019. Consistently profitable in 2025 after getting my life together.

Normally it takes 6 years to see some progress and 8 to become profitable (at least). Most ppl never become profitable

Humble yourself man you’ve been at it for a few months. Compare trading to a skilled profession like an engineer or doctor. Could you do that in a few months? See how ridiculous that even sounds.

You're super early. It takes so much time and patience. I'm far from there after years. Journal and make sure you're learning a long the way.

Majority of people who lost their money in markets never ever recovered.

4-5 years, could take less time or more time.

I suffered from boom and bust, still do ive just learned to better control it. I would make profit for a couple of months and then lose it all in a few days plus some, I just don't lose "it all and the plus some anymore". My environment wasn't at all healthy for a few years and I'm sure without that outside pressure things would have went more smoothly in my trading journey.

I can’t tell you how many people I know and including myself that blew accounts. Seems like it’s the cost of education and it takes time and more importantly discipline. Even if your system is perfect, which it will never be, if you don’t have the discipline to carry it out you’ll still be negative. Personally, it was about a year and even now I’ll get on a streak where I pay again for education. Sometimes I will walk away for a week or two and stop trading. Good luck.

Took me 3 years to. It’s hard work man

Most people I know who eventually became consistently profitable took at least 2 to 4 years before things really clicked, and even then it was uneven.

Just under 2 years, making regular 5k months, still have doubts gonna keep pushing

I started right after the pandemic and that was good but created bad habits and got into the meme stocks...when I finally ditched all that I started having significant success. I do a mixture and 4-6month trades and swing trades for stocks and daytrade futures with prop firm. The prop firm did help me improve as a trader, however I did basically throw money away for the first 9mo with it.
