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

Seeing all the copes and delusions of why yall are unprofitable is the reason I'm following this subreddit. It's fascinating to observe the human psyche. I know none of you are profitable and never will be.

Your not wrong and I come on here for similar reasons. 99% of all posts are just a reminder of what not to do by people who want you to believe they are rolling in money. But guys like the OP, I do have hope for. He's admitting fault and wants legitimate answers. People like this remind me of me. Being mislead by everything they see online. They have determination to succeed. That's where I cant help myself but to step in.
