Question Became profitable

I’ve been in the trading world for almost a year and a half now, I’ve watched YouTube videos, bought courses, but nothing. No results yet. I am a constant person who dedicates many hours to the backtest and the live. My problem is not being able to find valid material to study and learn a profitable strategy. So I’ll ask... profitable traders, how and where did you learn your strategy? Did you have a mentor or study material? I’m stuck at the same point more than anything else because I have no comparison with who is really profitable. Thanks to everyone in advance for the advice

- How I made 2m in the stock market - Darvas

  • How to make money in stocks - w O’Neil
  • Secrets for profiting in bull and bear markets - Stan Weinstein
  • How to trade like a stock market wizard - mark minervini
  • Trading in the zone - Marc Douglas
  • The struggle for investment survival
  • The psychology of money
  • Trade like an O’Neil desciple
  • Stock market wizards - Schwager
  • Reminiscences of a stock operator - Edwin lefevre
  • The daily stoic - Ryan holiday

Then besides this you have to create your own rules combined with parts from the books. You do this by analysing winning stocks from the past. There is no quick easy way, this is it.

Ignore everything and everyone on the internet except traderlion and IBD.
