real (part-time) since then
real (full-time) since last month
demo is helpful, everyone is different, for me it had to be real asap(albeit small accounts)....won 50 trades in a row w/ first real account (came home from Univ on goodfriday, broker closed early on me left position open and lost almost all gains) tough lesson but it was enough to see the power...lots in between then and now but right now its more about being consistent and humble rather than having 100% win ratio or thinking ive mastered the market, have learned/changed a lot along the way
