Isn't it funny how there's a big gap at "4-5 years"?

It could have to do with all the trading hype of 4-5 years ago. Most of those who entered that time got killed in the Naz bubble and decimalization bang.

Those who have been trading for over 5 years were experienced enough, and prepared to see it all coming, survive and adapt.

Those who started 3 years ago basically were rats to evolve after the post-decimalization-and-bubble-burst holocaust, born under the most cruel conditions, genetically modified to withstand and co-exist within bearish radiation, while the pretty new white mice of 1999 got irradiated till the bleeding tumors of bull-market amateurism burst. The new generation started and evolved expecting the worst. LOL that even rhymes.

Just speculation.

2 years part time.

 

4 yrs.
Started research and backtesting in 1994 and started live trading in 1999.

I have been actively trading since 1999
I have traded everything from "Pork-Bellies" to "Crude-Oil to "Gold" to "Soybeans" to E-mini S&P 500 & NASDAQ 100 Futures Contracts (my favorite).

 

August 3 1998 was my first day of FT time trading.

The day after, the Russia news broke, then LTCM..talk about an introduction!

Still here...
