Well since we seem to be the only two people talking about actual trading, the way I went from red to green was understanding risk management in a COMPLETELY different light. It's something that I had never thought about, but once I read about it, it changed things around pretty quickly. I'm not...
Yeah that's the point, we're supposed to be creating conversation that will help us to challenge our current strategies in different ways, to see if it makes it better or worse. I'm not saying listen to what everyone tells you, and do exactly what they tell you to do. We're supposed to be...
That's not true, over the years there's been traders that have worked Retail and IB trading that have lent there knowledge here. I'm also not asking for anyone to lead me, I'm creating a conversation, which I can see is going to be hard to stay on topic here with all of the pessimism from...

I'm not exactly a newbie, but I definitely am new here. I just thought it would be an interesting topic, but I doubt many traders would honestly divulge that information.
Who's consistently profitable on the monthly basis, what change made you go from red to green? What change in your strategy made you go from red to green? You don't have to be making millions, but what change took you from losing to winning, even if not winning by much?
