You've got literally a thousand + pages to fully understand before you can grasp a concept on trading and that won't make you profitable. You need to find an edge, or you'll never make it. It took me a whole lot longer than one year without having an edge as a flow trader, and I devour research reports, articles, and numbers. What separates the ones who are profitable and the ones who aren't is simply dedication, and the ability to decipher who is worth listening to.
