what was your aha moment when you first started trading?

Treat the chart like a computer game, as others have said the price action does different things at different times for a reason.

Find the pattern or reason, and wait until it becomes boring and predictable.

But the turtles didn’t do well afterwards due to the market changes. Although the principles hold true one needs to constantly adjust to the ever evolving market.

Richard Dennis made like $200 million from the Turtles when he was done with them. Most of them had lucrative careers afterwards. There is always a major trend somewhere. The strongest and weakest sectors change. All you need is to find it and trade it.

Guess SunTrader is right.

This is all pretty much generalized meaningless stuff.

And sometimes it does the same thing at different times for a different reason. You just never know the reason.

and wait until it becomes boring and predictable.

This is the key. It doesn’t happen often but when it does it’s so obvious.

Speak for yourself.

Curious to hear yall's stories what clicked in your head that set you on a path to profitable trader from noob trader

Hello mute9003,

My biggest ah moment so far is that:

Selling trading education and courses and making good trading youtube videos is the fastest and easiest way to $1Million than actually trading everyday.

Seriously the best business ever.
