I'm now a fully profitable trader after years of loss

If it works...keep doing it! FWIW, in my +20 years as a trader, I can recall numerous occasions where I had success for many months, only to succumb to the markets ever changing conditions and dynamics...had to learn to adapt. I'm not telling you this to discourage you at all...just be aware it may come. It's possible you may have something special. Good Luck!!!!!

You're Right sir on your view, but in my case i do not know if it's a blessing or what, but when i look at charts now, everything looks clear to me without hesitation, and it's working, i have no indicators nothing i look at the charts previous history and enter.

Hello Traders!

Here is my story

got into stock market via watching Timsykes Video on Youtube, and it was maybe in 2012 since then I all money that I made was gone via losing in the stock market, buying course from scammer and blah blah, I used to make 70k a year and lost pretty much all. left job to be a full-time trader lost money ( thank god I had a loving family so i had to not worry about home and money!) my last try was depositing 30k into lightspeed trader account and when I lost the $5k and balance came to 25k that was my end. gave the money to family back, said I couldn't do it.

Since then tried to join different Prof firms but needed series 56 then later 57 couldn't pass cause I was a bad test taker from childhood.

finally studied hard my trading skills, went through all my bad trades and good trades where I got lucky. after studying for months and months, paper trading my skills, i was good then finally decided few months back I m on track after all my losses, opened my account again and im finally making money everyday since then, and not of by luck but reading charts and being on the right side of the track, also I'M AGAINST SHORT!!! I only go long..... hope this story of mine will help someone to get motivated and not lose hope, if you believe in yourself and you know you can make it then there is no one can stop you from doing so.....

Best of luck to everyone out there struggling.

Congratulations on making it on this long journey, happy you were able to dump Timmy's strange system that has lead not a few to blow up. Its more than believing in yourself, its obeying the rules and not making stupid mistakes over and over because your hoping the next trade will be the one to make up all the nasty losses. Great Job on going green, send Timmy a "Thank You Card" for putting you on the right track!

Good to hear but you better get over your aversion to shorting or the next bear market will kill you.

Exactly. Anyone can make $$ in an uptrending market. But not shorting is similar to a football team that only runs the ball and doesn't pass. You have to utilize all your options in order to win, whether it's football or trading.

Congratulation to you brother. I was in a state of loss for almost two years. I had to suffer a lot. But finally I got over it, just like you did. I like long term trading though, works fine for me.
