    In my opinion trading requires a lot of screen time. It doesn't matter how much you've learned about the basics. What really matters is how can you perform when you have a chart at your screen and need to decide which way the market is trending and how you are going to enter and manage our position. If you can do these three things you are closer to your goal to become a successful trader.

    Agree, and welcome to the ET! For how long do you trade and what is your estimate of screen time needed to become steady in profits?

    Well I have been interested and doing this business since I was in high school. About screen time I would say at least one year, but it differs from each person. I had to practice at least half a year on the demo account to be consistently profitable. You can't have enough time from this, because even after being interested and doing this for nearly 2 years i would say I have much to learn.
