How long did it take you to become profitable

Hello, guys just tell us how long it took you before you became: consistently profitable.
And how long it took you to figure out how to use your indicators, very well.

It took me six years of my life.
Around the fourth year I noticed that EUR, GBP, AUD, NZD, CAD, CHF, JPY and USD like cheese board has eight rows.
Now around my fifth year I figured out that the indicators I use pivot point and more especially RSI behaves like rubber bands around crucial support and resistance level.
Your turn...

Well, every trader takes different time span to bring consistency in profits. It all depends on one's skills, passion and knowledge.

And circumstances, and discipline. But generally, I do largely agree with what you've said.

Took months figuring out a system that works with my lifestyle. Tons of demo accounts and testing.
Next goal is creating an EA to replicate my strategies

Circumstances - that's an interesting point. Generally speaking, how much of a trader's success in Forex would you attribute to luck?

As in most life situations, excessive fixation on the final destination (profitable trading) and underestimation of the importance of choosing the path to it - lead to a person to losing sight of what is really important and what is actually the goal to be pursued. Thus, the question "How long does it take to become a profitable trader?" is wrong.
It would be more correct to formulate the question as this:
What should a trader do in order to become a profitable one?
The main word here is "do". The question in this formulation is much more important and practical than the one in the title of the thread.
If you don't know how to trade correctly in the market, you'll certainly never be able to make money on it. Therefore, to become profitable, you must first learn how to trade correctly.
Trading is a highly individual and psychologically stressful activity. And if you don't have the right attitude of a trader, you have no chance to become profitable.
The truth is that not all people have the qualities that a trader needs. In other words, trading isn't suitable for everyone. Before opening a trading account and investing real money in trading, think about whether you consider yourself suitable for trading in the market. Answer yourself honestly to such questions as: Are you ready to discipline yourself in an environment where temptations are constantly occurring? Are you ready to be patient when, in fact, you don't want to be? Are you ready to accept the market as it is, that is, are you aware that the market doesn't care about you and your desires?

Some, but it's not the driving factor. Also, by circumstances I did not mean luck, my apologies, I should have clarified. I was referring to their job, to their family situation, etc. which dictate how much free time they have.

Oh no, totally my bad! I misinterpreted "circumstances" as "luck" when naturally it means "situation". I completely agree with you, availability of time is largely dictated by one's circumstances.

The time consumed in becoming profitable traders depends on how you utilise the available resources to build up your personality, forex trading is not like casinos where we push different buttons and hit jackpot if we are lucky enough. Forex requires proper knowledge and working out strategies that actually works or otherwise we will be among the 90% plus failure statistics of forex newbies.

No problem, it's easy to conflate those two, I have done so too.

Well, guys we can discuss how fundamental factors affects currencies and our bias.
My thread on undervalued Currencies is not getting as much attention, as I had thought.
Yesterday I said CAD is undervalued, and today CAD strengthened.

Well I think GBP is undervalued.
I also think USD is overpriced and EUR is overvalued.
Just my opinion.

Why do you think so?

From my analysis and strategy

About 2.5 years and a couple of blown accounts;-)

It took me 3 years to make the consistency profit, it is not easy. I am still making some mistakes along the way, but at the end of the day, the improvement I made on my skills, kwowledge and determination has mold me who I am today.

Well if you paired EUR & NZD, you will be smiling on your way to the bank.

During my worst years of trading fx, staking my hard earned salary on the line for some currencies. Only to see my predictions gone wrong. Then, I realised what broker literally and metaphorical means, they leave amateur fx trader broke. One hell of experience.

So far GBP is over priced, by 3rd/ July we will find out market reactions.
