I have been trading for 3 years now. I have had limited success. I seem to just consistently breakeven with my trades. I'll have a good run and then a terrible run and give profits back. Trying to stay a float.
I started out going to OTA and they teach good stuff. I wish it was as simple as they make it out to be. Its a good base and then you have a lot to from there. Within the last year I learned market profile and I'm getting better. I know supply/demand zones,etc. But I still seem to lack the edge I'm looking for? What separates winning traders from the crowd? I am great at reading charts and analysis but there's more to it than that.

I read that you should have a trading mentor. Someone with experience to guide beginners. While I believe I'm more than a beginner my account says otherwise. My best trades are trades that I set and forget. Normally swing trades. I've tried with zero success sitting and "day trading". Its not my best work. I will say that I've had really good trades(swing) that I've got excited and pulled too early that would've been very profitable. I am still working on that, getting better though. I keep my stops tight , I believe that's the reason I'm roughly breakeven. I'm not opposed to "day trading" with a consistent strategy. I know its impossible to never be stopped out.

That was long but I wanted to explain my background. My question is, are there any consistently profitable traders that would be willing to help an intermediate trader get over the hump? Email possible trades and get feedback, Skype, phone, Google talk, IM? I have no full time job, this is what I'm determined to do. Its taking me longer perhaps than most but I refuse to quit. Or maybe I'm paying my dues and there's a learning curve to it.

I'm available pretty much all the time. If anyone has advice or ideas I'd love to hear. Thanks
