Hi All,
Long time reader first time poster.
I have a serious question, please don't turn this into a .... I can't believe you are asking such a stupid question" thread. If you have nothing valid to contribute please don't bother posting.
I have been consistent in my trading grinding out profits with my strategy. But I have been inconsistent for a VERY loooong time before this. I am considering leaving my ridiculously stressful job to become a full time trader. What's holding me back is YEARS of failures in this market as I've been learning to become consistently profitable.
My question is to you, those few who KNOW you are there, you made it, you found your edge, you are consistent, you are trading a big chunk of change confident, that you can keep doing this month after month after month with a relatively smooth equity/profit curve....
How/when do/did you know that you're not just getting lucky....
How many months or years makes you consistent? How many pips per day/week/month?
Does 50 pips a month make you consistent? Does 1000? (I'm somewhere in between these 2 figures per month)
Seriously guys, I want to leave my piece of crap job and add some serious capital to my account....but due to the ghosts of the past failures I just can't pull the trigger yet.
Help?
