I probably won't get rich quick, but maybe I'll get rich slowly. Maybe I'll...

Hello there, Billiius Hwangus,

Thank you for your comment!



If I may ask directly - were you able to sort this out to the point where you became consistently profitable?

What I do know is that I had a breakthrough of sorts when I started riding my winners while respecting my stops/losses.

September last year was a good month. I'm off to a good start this September, too, so let's see if I can match it.
