How many years to get pro

:caution: Bot spotting failed hilmy83

Thanks for everyone else that responded. I know it depends of various parameters still knowing an average could be nice to have an estimate as a reference. I think when you are trying to achieve to become pro and you are very serious about it (trading consistently, having a strategy, having a journal, working on the psychology part, etc) and trying to give your best it is nice to have an idea of the time it could take from the experience of others.

10.000 hours, man...it's 10.000 hours as always.

3-6 months to build discipline and follow a trading plan? I hope this is a joke. I'm trading for almost 20 years now, it took me 5 to become green without a mentor and I've yet to see anyone to become profitable with less than 1 year in.

That said, profitable means not losing money and making pocket change. Making enough to support yourself usually takes another 2 years minimum.

Think about this business as going to university or learning any other trade. 3 - 5 years ora et labora until you make acceptable P/L.

Can it be done in less time? Absolutely, but this requires a market that is so inefficient that you can make a lot of mistakes and still be profitable...like crypto in 2017.
This would be a once per century opportunity and I wouldn't bet on that.
So 3 years is genius, 5 years is normal....most people blow up after 3 months and this is a fact

How would something like that work?
What are the identifiable features marking the post of Bot?
