Had huge positions on before brexit and also after, which all won. All of the other trades done this year were tiny in comparison and pretty much all lost.
10,000 hours sound good...but it kinda depends on what you spent those 10k hours doing. Staring at a screen or at charts is not a good way of spending those hours.
Actually you only need a couple of great trades say in a month or in a year to make it worthwhile. The only BIG profit i have had this year was on Brexit. That was serious money. All the other trades i have done have made me a net (small) loss.
To the best of my knowledge,Van tharp never sold trading courses for 60k. In fact, I don't think he sold any trading courses. If you want to correct me,pls provide a reference.
