So i started to learn about trading before 6 months. I still didnt touch markets with real money. I informed myself on investopedia and various other sources, read couple of books and started manually backesting price action without any indicators.
Basically i take some highly traded stock(alphabet,amazon, apple and recently paramount) and go back to 2016 and try to spot patterns and i keep spreadsheet in Excel where i document all taken trades.Stop loss is predetermined and i write reason for every profit and for every loss taken. Losses are mostly due to greed and to less extent because of bad entry.After every session i manage to finish with at least 30% profit.
Question is:Am I missing something in the great scheme of things? Did i just get lucky every time?Or is it real proof i can start at least some kind of real trading? Because it seems i did this only for 6 months and every bit of information and advice i found says it takes years and years to come close to profitability.
