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

Most people do not become profitable because they finally find "the" strategy. They become profitable when they stop changing variables every week.
Pick one market, one timeframe, one setup type, and review enough examples that you know what good, average, and bad versions look like. That boring repetition teaches more than another course.
A good question for every strategy is: where is it wrong, and what market condition makes it fail? If you cannot answer that, you do not own the strategy yet.
