My over 6-year trading experience in a nutshell

[Overnight]

Trading is like healing a horse that is mostly dead. And opening a window into another dimension. Dude!

Good for you!

Am I correct in understanding that you are not daytrading now, but rather swing trading?

Yes. But the swings can be months to a year or more. I've become more patient! I learned that I am no better than anyone else at predicting when something will occur, but I'm good at predicting that it will or won't occur.

You can't predict but you can make money.

Some issues:
1. You have read the wrong things. You have learned from the wrong people, wrong author etc. No one will hand you anything on a plater or in a book.
2. You may not be fit to trade. You could be given a profitable strategy and still be unprofitable.
3. Trading may not be your calling. You may be successful in something else and that's great.

Trading is not like school or university where you study for years, get a degree and sell yourself to get a job/money. You will not be rewarded for having put in the hard yards but for having an edge.

Very True.
