Hey @hugoab!

I think this particular question can
a) Become a source of unrealistic expectations and frustration.
b) Obscure more subtle signs of progress.

Here's why:
I personally don't think you should equate your potential as a trader to how quickly you can say you became profitable. There are different levels of profitability, different personal quirks, and different trading schools of thought may have deeper learning curves than others but lead to better results for your particular psyche in the longer-term.

One of the best quotes I've read wasn't from a trader but from an entrepreneur who said something along the lines of "the first five years of owning your own business are a sh!t-show!". I like the mentality of treating trading as your business, and I especially like the mentality of designing the course of your path around longevity. Preservation of capital and risk-management will keep you in the game to give you time to find the answers to all these questions you are seeking.

There's a milestone I've experienced which is a sense of control over your survival, you're not quite profitable but you also feel that its within your power to not self-destruct. You've learned enough to have the discipline to survive and figure out the next segment of your path. I use this as a new baseline to latch onto and you kind of find the next foothold from there.

Hope you find what you're searching for!
