This is more for fun than anything as I know that those who want to lie will, but it might be vaguely useful to see who here has been trading for years versus those who have been doing for only 6 months…
It’ll be a year next month (March).
Great idea Matt!
I´ve been trading for a year and a half!
A year doing the reading, half a year on the forums and trading =)
1 month. 50% profit since. Only trading with my profit right now. I love forex, yeah!
Though, take into account I coded some EAs and they made a couple of hundred trades with different strats in back test. So, that would probably be a 2 or 3 year experience in demo. I also watch the eurusd pair since 20 years. German marks before the euro, though.
A month thus far. Demoing.
I’ve come a long way.
Just recently started making consistent profits.
Or maybe it’s just a winning streak!
Well, here’s to those winning streaks Synergistik

I first learnt about forex in december 2006 but due to my college education, I have spent only few months in a year since then trading. I intend to make out more time for it
I am on live account nearly one year now, durings this year I’ve lost three trading accounts so I had to start fresh new:)
This is fourth attempt and during last two months it is going fine! Every month I am trying to make around 50% of my balance. So far so good:)
Isn’t 50% a lot?
There are traders that make 80-90 % of their capital each month. So I am still looking for new opportunities and ways how to understand the market.
How much are you making?
Lol, I think you mean gamblers. Same guys who bust their account.
Even gamblers can make stable income if they are professionals, the same thing with Forex market. If you are a pro, it doesnt matter what are you doing. What matters is that you doing it in right way.
True. When I started out, there was a trader who helped me raise my starting capital.
She was so good that she made up to 100% profit in a month. But after a while she got into trouble because she could not manage her losing streaks.
There are traders on this site that really have made so much money on live accounts. See the Mmtt trading system and the Fx-Group system on the free trading systems forums.
I´m making 4-5% a week, and that is fine for me! If a keep that for a couple of years…lots of money
Yep, the power of compounding is beautiful.
4-5% per week is a great number, I’m currently more at 3-4% per week but I’m going steady.

I see a lot of our prolific posters have avoided responding to this poll! Come on guys!
a little over 4 years for me, but I just started making up for all my losses last march, and still being consistent.
