The only principle of this thread:
Please do not post about your profitability or not, just vote the poll, let's keep anything anonymous therefore the egos stay out this thread, this imply each post like I'm profitable or I'm not profitable isn't welcome, if these articles do occur I will delete them, as they'll be contrary to the sole principle of this thread.

Some say 95 percent of traders do fail within the first few decades, some say 50 percent of traders are profitable, some say less than 1% make it.
First of all let's define according to this POLL what we mean with profitable:
A profitable trader is one that according to today, have created an overall profit in his trading life.
This mean, if you opened your very first trade 2 decades ago, during those years you've definitely lost and left money, the question would be would you have made or lost money on overall?
Some examples:
in case you've losted a total of 10k for example during the previous 2 decades, and now you're making 5k profits on a new account through the previous five months, you're still not profitable according to this POLL.
Or, when you've made 100k out of trading 3 decades ago, and this year you've lost 50k, you're still profitable according to this POLL.
In other words, your last/current account does not matter, what it matter is the amount of all your trading activity in your whole trading life.
I'm very interested to see the results of the poll, 1 thing to say:
The poll votes are anonymous/secret, and will be eternally.
Therefore, nobody could possibly know if you're profitable or not, not even me!
P.s.
Please be truthful when voting, we're generating some potent statistical data, and as the votes are anonymous, so your ego wouldn't benefit at all from lying about your profitability.
