How long did you take to make money

Hi all,

Just joined the forum today after someone recommended it.

I've been working on algorithmic trading for the last 3 years. I have a full time job, so I do this just about every night and every weekend. The first 1.5 years was just on data sourcing and cleansing. Then generating signals and testing various strategies.

So far my result has been zilch. I haven't found not one strategy that is worth taking live. Now feeling defeated and dejected after the last idea turned out to be a dud as well.

Just wondering what other people's experiences are. How long did it take you to become profitable. Are there any pitfalls or secret sauce to become successful?

Thanks.

Great to hear that. A 20 yr old saying he is profitable is a rare thing to be found.
