Career Progression 1. Learn from professional writers and professional talkers - a few months 2. Demo trade with hundreds of indicators on the charts - a few months 3. decontaminate / cleanse your mind from the wrong teachings from professional writers and professional talkers. Also, remove hundreds of indicators from your chart - a few years/decades 4. Develop your own holy grail. Demo trade with no indicator on the chart - a few years/decades 5. be a full-time professional trader - a few years/decades/infinity later
Trading should be the Career goal for everyone here. And don't give me any Shit about I love my Job or I would never do trading full time. If you're good enough you could be earning Millions per day trading and only work a few hours a Week ... if you're good enough.
