I shouldn’t have an ego about this, but you didn’t like my comment and instead liked Con’s. Oh well. Good luck in your endeavor to becoming a full time trader.
You say you have only been at it for five years (a newbie), doing "ups and downs" until October '24 and didn't make much until 3 months ago. Unless you now have a clear edge, it might be premature to call it a success, in a forum you do not even seem to like, although you open a new thread per day. I logged out to see who were people talking to as I had "Conor" on the ignore list for his time wasting stubborn nonsense.
You @cesfx are correct, because he (@Jdesey) doesn't seem to understand a proper definition of trading success. He appears to define success simply as making money. Most likely, he has no idea about things like his distribution of R-multiples, the expectancy of his trading method, his efficiency as a trader (such as how many mistakes he makes and how they affect his P/L), and things like that. At least now he accepts that some of the comments by others were constructive. Apart from that, he’s still very blind to his own blind spots, thinking that he’s playing against the market and that he needs to conquer the market, yet he’s really playing against himself.
