How long does it take to become a successful trader?

Recommended Posts

You see what I mean?

 

DO YA PUNK?

 

one word. One friggin word. it's genius... Genius.

 

Let's summarize-

 

Yeah funny man...damn rude but funny.. gotta admit it.

BUT, guy has a valid point

Said it in a friggen irritatin' way, nothing ground breakin but worth sayin

Diplomacy is the better part of rippin the piss out of someone

All's well that ends well

 

And probably a few more I missed for now

 

So dazzling is da genius in dis post I'm gonna need shades:cool:

 

Oh no, wait a minute, god damn cheated with some code here. Usual tricks

 

Still, it proves my other theory. Behind every genius in global history is the story of a fkin cheat. One big con game this world.

 

Closest thing to genius you'll see here though..

 

Paranoia? You should have too unrealistic requirements for somebody to prove himself to be outstanding.

Absolute genius doesn't exist. It all public eyes staring at somebody because he could ascent above their stupidity.

being clever is across a gap from being innocent.

being clever is against being innocent.

There's only one way to be a genius. You conflated my point. Not complaining, just doesn't leave me any where to go:confused:

 

I apologize.

 

But I must conflate some more :grin:

I have been involved in the markets for about 10 months and have yet to call myself a successful trader. Does anyone know the length of the average learning cycle for a new trader?

 

I had a friend who started day trading NASDAQ stocks back in 2004 and was making minimum 250k his first year. Is this the norm?

 

Thanks

Hi, i think there are no months or years for you to be successful in trading as longs as you know the strategies very well. Consider all the commodities available in trading that you can use such as gold, oil etc,. You also have to know that you elevate the type of account that you are at. The higher your account that higher profit you get.

You can learn Forex by yourself but become a successful trader takes time. Forex trading is challenging and takes a while to fully understand.

Trading is challenging in general, but fx is the easiest to start with, no?

It depends on your skills, time, trading plan, money management and the amount of invested money. With a small account you can't trade for a living. If you have enough money and your trading plan and money management works then you can trade for a living.

It really depends on the persons passion for the markets. One year is definitely not the norm. Your friend has done an amazing job in just one year.

 

It took me 2 years of intense studying and trading to get to where I am. I was quite a journey.

 

I would say on average it takes 2-3 years before one can start trading for a living. This is just my opinion, I am sure some may find me a slow learner.

Exactly, it really depends on the persons passion.

That is a question I ask myself regularly and always come up with a different answer. Some people say it takes at least 2-3 years of learning and practicing. I'm only a wanna be trader but I definitely want to share my conclusion on that matter. I subscribed to a learning package only this week. They have a 4-month learning package, they let you "play" with monopoly money on a platform with real market data, and if you have a good enough result they promise to have you a funded account. So fingers crossed, I'm very excited about Earn2Trade and hope that I can say soon that I'm a trader.

The answer to this question is relative. I mean, it depends upon you. It depends how quickly you understand the market and the company in which you invest. If you study the life of successful traders, it is analyzed that it took them years.

Assuming you'll be one of the profitable ones, it'll likely take six months to a year–trading/practicing every day–until you are consistent enough to pull a regular income from the market.

When you start out day trading or swing trading, or if you want to get into it, you may wonder how long it takes to become a successful trader. Establishing realistic expectations is important. If you think you’ll get rich in a few weeks you’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Yet, it shouldn’t take years of training before you see some cash flow either.

For many traders, just the theoretical knowledge about Forex trading may take about 3–6 months, depending on how quickly you understand things. But you also need to learn many things by experience which may take about one year.

It totally depends on the adaptability of a trader to learn from his mistake and posses good analytical skills to take right decision. Time can just fly away but it is more important how often you don't repeat mistake and generate new ideas and implement it.

    • Date: 21st November 2024. Gold Regains Momentum as NVIDIA Delivers a Revenue Surge! NVIDIA beat earnings expectations, and nearly doubled revenue on an annual basis. NVIDIA stocks dip slightly despite strong earnings and a strong forecast for the current quarter. Analysts expect market participants to purchase the dip. The Japanese Yen wins back some ground as Bank of Japan Governor indicates the regulator will be willing to hike to support the FX market. Gold, Silver and other Metals all rise due to predictions of high retail and institutional demand and geopolitical tensions remaining high. NASDAQ – NVIDIA Surpasses Earnings Expectations! The NASDAQ took a sudden dip on Wednesday measuring 1.50%, however, investors quickly took the opportunity to purchase at the lower price as most indicators fell to give an oversold indication. As a result, the NASDAQ ended the day only slightly lower than the open price, but downward momentum remains this morning. The downward momentum is partially due to geopolitical tensions which are on the rise. Yesterday, Ukraine fired UK-made missiles into Russia and fired US-made the day before. There are also reports and speculations that Russia has sent ICB Missiles into Ukraine for the first time. However, reports are not confirmed, and there are signs of certain stocks recovering. Currently, there is no economic data which is driving the lack of demand, therefore investors are mainly concentrating on NVIDIA earnings. NVIDIA beat earnings expectations by 8.50% and revenue by 5.90%. Investors were particularly impressed by the significantly higher revenue which has almost doubled annually. In addition to this, the forecast given for the current quarter came in relatively strong. Lastly, the CEO, Jenson Huang, said to Bloomberg that demand exceeds supply but the company is setting in place measures to boost supply in order to meet the high level of demand. Taking into consideration the strong earnings, positive tone and upbeat forecasts for the coming quarter, many may wonder, “why is the stock declining 2.50% during this morning’s Asian session?”. This is partially due to the lower risk appetite, but also due to certain forecast expectations for NVIDIA not being met. The average NVIDIA forecast expectations from Wall Street firms was $37.1 billion, which NVIDIA comfortably surpassed. However, certain firms had expectations as high as $41 billion. Based on these higher expectations, the company underachieved and could trigger a lack of demand from this sector of Wall Street. Though many analysts continue to expect shareholders to purchase the lower price as long as the stock market will remain favorable.   EURJPY – BOJ To Consider Hike! The EURJPY declines for a second consecutive day, particularly gaining bearish momentum after this morning’s Bank of Japan press conference. The main takeaway from the press conference was that the Governor told journalists that the BOJ was willing to hike interest rates in the upcoming months but decisions will be made meeting by meeting. The Bank of Japan’s decision to raise interest rates in July was influenced in part by the weak Yen, which had driven up import costs and inflation. At the Europlace Financial Forum in Tokyo, Governor Kazuo Ueda emphasized that exchange-rate fluctuations are a key consideration in shaping economic and inflation forecasts. He noted that the central bank carefully examines what is driving these currency changes when assessing their impact. The EURJPY now trades below the 75-Bar Exponential Moving Average and below the 50.00 on the RSI. In addition to this, the exchange rate continues to form lower swing lows while the Euro underperforms against most currencies. These indications point towards a potential downward price movement.   Gold – Geopolitical Tensions Send Gold on a Bullish Path! Gold has increased in value for a fourth consecutive day, driven largely by geopolitical tensions. Additionally, the absence of significant US economic news has left markets uncertain about the Federal Reserve’s next move. Gold is currently witnessing an active buy signal from most momentum-based indicators due to the strong bullish momentum. For example, traders are able to see the price trading above the Bollinger Band, within a bullish moving average crossover and significantly high on most oscilators. However, investors should note as the price increases, the asset can become overbought and this may trigger a retracement, a correction or sideways price movement. In terms of geopolitical tensions, hopes for a Middle East ceasefire are being tempered by Russia’s revision of its nuclear doctrine, which aims to strengthen its borders after the US-approved long-range strikes from Ukraine reached deep into Russian territory. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s re-election has yet to significantly influence the conflict, though markets remain optimistic about potential positive developments following his January 20 inauguration.
