It's not impossible, but it needs a strong will.

no no no. me cannot to be taken as a reference. we are of different and diversed background.
is useless to know how others are doing. traders going around looking for traders with proven records.
the reference always fall back to self. what are you made of inside you.

1 year with a good mentor holding your hand throughout.
no mentor, anything goes. like 3-4 years for a degree just to survive. then more years for master and phd.
generally speaking 7 years to be profitable as a career.
some even struggle for more than 10 years, still not giving up.

Honestly I dont know. One time I took a swing trade and it felt so relaxing not to micromanage trades constantly, but also I wanted more activity. And then there was today where I scalped the fuck out of USDCAD. Obviously I gambled with news and it paid off. That's why I was scared to show my gambling trades and face your wrath. It does feel good to make money on a daily basis I guess. But below 15min is too fast for me. So I really have no clue what I am yet.
Just by itself, winrate is 50%, but with multitimeframe winrate is 90%

Yes, background, circumstances, atmosphere, precision degree, etc. But the question was to make a rough estimate to know if I need to put in more effort or just let things come step by step. At a certain point, I stopped looking at the time because every day, I found a flaw. The flaws were critical, but as time passed, they became smaller .

My fundamental view is: the market was pricing in a 0.5 rate cut for the last two weeks, but after yesterday's news, it is going to compensate. Prepare yourself.
