How much did you spend before you became a consistently successful trader?

What do you consider to be a "successful trader"?

 

A successful trader is one who can consistently pull money out of the market over a time period that is appropriate for one's trading methodology, in my opinion.

 

A. 2 years.

B. 6K

C. 2K

 

You ain't successful in this biz until you leave a solvent estate.

 

A 6 months
B 5000
C 3000

 

I would modify that to read "... until you CAN leave a solvent estate."

Once you leave an estate, the game is over my friend.

 

Not accurate...but close...

A) Took about 2 years - +12 years ago...which includes making enough money to consistently pay the bills (mortgage, business overhead, private healthcare, etc)

B) 9K

C) 1.2K - I like to read

 

A. 9 months
B. $12,000
C. $35.00 (trading in the zone, by Douglas)

And lets not forget.... I missed out on about $60,000 in earnings for those nine months....

sorry.....I took out about $8000.00 in the form of draws to live off of during the nine months
