I’ve been trading for about 3 months now with real money and I want some honest feedback from people who’ve been through this phase.
Right now I’m down around 5.3%. I’ve taken about 30 trades, with a 26.67% win rate and roughly a 1:2.3 risk-to-reward ratio. My losses are controlled (usually around -1% to -1.5%), and I’m not blowing accounts or revenge trading.
But my results are inconsistent.
Looking at my trading calendar, I notice I get clusters of red days, then a few green days, then back to red again. It feels like I don’t have a consistent edge yet. Sometimes my setups work really well, but most of the time they don’t follow through.
I think my main issues might be:
Taking too many trades
Not sticking to one setup
Possibly forcing entries when I don’t see anything clear
I’m currently trying to learn supply and demand and applying it mostly on lower timeframes.
I’m not here to complain — I just want real advice.
For those of you who are already profitable or further along:
Is this kind of performance normal in the first few months?
What was the biggest thing that helped you become consistent?
How did you know you actually had an edge and weren’t just guessing?
I’m willing to put in the work, I just don’t want to spend months reinforcing bad habits.
Appreciate any honest feedback.
Ps. Ai helped me make this because my english is not that good. Thanks. 🙏
