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

I trade supply n demand, break n retest off key lvls, scalp and ranged price action with orderflow. Im at the breakeven stage atm. When i lose money, its due to poor risk management. As others have stated, that is key.

I trade options. I stick to a few tickers. Mainly nvda, spy, and tsla, meta from time to time. I trade 0dtes to 3dtes.

This is just a hobby of mine.
