How long did it take you to trade live?

Currently trading live now. Yay!

fab Holly! how long did you demo for?

When you start out day trading or swing trading, or if you want to get into it, you may wonder how long it takes to become a successful trader.

That’s the medicine! New traders need to open at least 500 trades in demo then they should judge their trading skill.

Quite opposite, It sounds way too difficult to me ahah

I was (and sometimes still am) the same, but if one wishes to trade they cannot allow themselves to feel intidimidated by it.

That’s true, you should know your enemy’s face :slight_smile: for that, you have to study hard

Around 6 months you?

2 weeks I rather lose a very small amount of money than trading demo, the feeling is never the same.

@MikeWolski that was a pleasure to read. Great story. Thanks for sharing.

Very wise words.

Took me about 6 months before going live. I demo traded for about a month and then decided I wasn’t 100% into it knowing that it isn’t “real money” :sweat_smile: I don’t have a big account though so that’s something to consider. I plan on maybe increasing my account size after 2 years of being profitable with my tiny account :grin:
