Scrolling a few pages back on this thread, I realised I was late to the newbie talk.
Let's just put it this way: "I was not trained to make money. I was trained to break even".
Breakeven trades are winners. Because you're not giving money away. You learnt overcoming conditions market throw at you, and found ways to defeat them. They could be boring to trade, for first few years, but very valuable. Money, profit, gains, can come later. The only problem is that, you can't advertise that, you'll get fired and demoted immediately.
