I’m considering learning swing trading as a long-term skill, and I’m trying to set realistic expectations before I invest a lot of time into it.
For those of you who are consistently profitable:
How long did it take before you became profitable?
How many hours per week were you studying and trading?
What were the biggest mistakes that slowed your progress?
What finally “clicked” for you?
If you were starting from scratch today, what would you do differently?
I’m not looking for shortcuts or get-rich-quick stories. I’m genuinely trying to understand the learning curve and whether becoming consistently profitable is realistic for someone who’s willing to put in the work.
I’d really appreciate hearing about your personal experience.
