Profitable & consistent daytraders, how much did you lose before making it?

I would say my journey of trading FX wasn't very tough. I started off young so therefore the capital wasnt too huge but I lost 80% of what I deposited. The reason of the loss was due to trading without proper risk management and greed. I started investing time into learning and got myself to who I am today.

I’ve seen $5k-$250k from the interviews and posts I’ve come across but the average seems to be in the $40-$70k range and 3-4 year mark is when it starts clicking.

So far I’ve lost about $7k maybe a little more but I am just in the beginning of my journey and I’m not process driven or organized enough yet. I have a long way to go regarding psychology and risk management

Most beginners will lose everything before they get stable

A 70 percent don't last beyond the first year, and 95 percent stop trading by the third year.

Intraday trading is the most popular, yet data suggests that most intraday traders lose money.

more than 95 percent of traders lose their whole forex investment pot in the first six months

It is important to note that trading is not a guranteed path to profits, and not all traders become consistantly profitable. Success often requires a combination of education, discipline, risk management, and the ability adapt to market conditions

Traders who ultimately achieve profitability often emphasize the importance of learning from losses, refinning strategies, and continually improving their skills

Individual experience can vary, and succes in trading is influenced by a variety of factors, including market conditions, individual trading strategies, risk tolerance and psychological resilience.

Profitable traders only look for profits of 2-8% / month. while novice traders look for 30-100%/ month. The difference here is that profitable traders can last for months, while novice daily traders then MC

I lost 10,000 $ before starting to earn. Trading is not as easy as clicking buy and sell. trading is a long journey. loss and profit are a collection of trades.

Only a few traders are able to reach the 5% success stage because 90% stop in the first year and 5% stop in the next 4 years.

I don’t count this, but when I was swing trading without knowing what I was doing like an idiot I lost about $10k. That’s what caused me to get serious. Being serious about daytrading I’ve lost about $5k. I’m hoping I’m past that period and finding consistency but only time will tell

I started trading with really small amounts so i just lost 400$ before i became profitable. Now im gaining 35% daily on crypto futures

100k? Maybe someone should have told them about paper trading and proper scaling.

400k but I am yet to be profitable

Almost 16k. And I’m only just now MAYBE becoming profitable. I mean I am, but not long enough to say for certain.

I lost 6k in 3 months. Now consistently get a profit. Trick is, 1. Futures, 2. Don’t keep hopping in and out of a penny stock, 3. Trade large to medium cap, penny stocks are how you become broke

I lost maybe 800 dollars total trading micros before I started figuring things out.

Granted I'm frown a 3rd world country and didn't have 6 figures to gamble away in the first place. Only god knows what would have happened if I did.

Well it depends, most here are lying anyways. You will probably lose it all before you learn if you start out with a figure in mind. If you educate yourself and demo trade first you will probably lose a LOT less!
