The only rule of this thread:
Please don't post about your profitability or not, just vote the poll, let's keep anything anonymous so the egos stay outside of the thread, this mean every post like "i'm profitable" or "i'm not profitable" is not welcome, if such posts do happen i will delete them, as they will be against the only rule of this thread.

Some say 95% of traders do fail within the first few years, some say 50% of traders are profitable, some say less than 1% make it.
First of all let's define as per this POLL what we mean with profitable:
A profitable trader is one that as per today, have made an overall profit in his trading life.
This mean, if you opened your first trade 2 years ago, during these years you have surely lost and made money, the question is do you have made or lost money on overall?
Some examples:
If you have losted a total of 10k for example during the past 2 years, and now you are making 5k profits on a new account during the past 5 months, you are still not profitable as per this POLL.
Or, if you have made 100k from trading 3 years ago, and this year you have lost 50k, you are still profitable as per this POLL.
In other words, your last/current account doesn't matter, what it matter is the sum of all your trading activity in your whole trading life.
I'm very curious to see the results of the poll, one thing to say:
The poll votes are anonymous/secret, and will be forever.
So, nobody will ever know if you are profitable or not, not even me!
P.s.
Please be truthful when voting, we are producing some powerful statistical data here, and as the votes are anonymous, your ego would not benefit at all from lying about your profitability.
