    Hi, everybody!

    I'm TraderJL and been trading for about 10 years. Not been able to have consistency yet, altought I've seen some improvements in the last months.

    I've been trying to get funded with some prop firms. I was able to pass evals 3 times. Sadly, I wasn't able to hold my accounts.

    I have to keep working on my discipline.

    I'm very happy to be here and learn from you guys.

    Thanks you!


    Best wishes,
    TraderJL

  3. You will fit in Perfectly here. Everyone here has decades of experience but no profits. Misery loves company. Applies to all over the internet as well

  9. No, you should develop multiple income streams where trading could be one. Currently I am not trading. I am doing IT contracting for a large hospital. I have multiple certs. However, I can trade a little at night if I feel like it. I also do gig work for a few hours per month. Try to have money always coming in, so that you don't have to rely on Trading to pay the bills. Of the people that post here, probably only 1% actually make money just from trading. I also in the past made money for selling trading systems on C2. If someone reading this is in college, I would advise get a degree, get a job, save some money up to trade on the side.


    Also, lets look at true trading, what peoole think is trading and what it really is. People think that while you might have losing trades, you will make at least $ 200 a day every day and then scale up to make $ millions per year.

    My best system on C2 which was number 1 for awhile had losing months. Think about that, you will not only only not make money every day or month, but you will have to give some of your money back during a losing month. Do you have enough money to pay your bills when you have a losing month?
