Forex Trading: Looking for Honest Opinions From Profitable Traders

[Udking]

I've been learning forex for the past few months, mainly SMC, market structure, and risk management. I'd like to hear from traders who are actually making consistent profits.

A few questions

How long did it take you to become profitable?

Demo or live account first?

What's your preferred strategy?

Which trading session do you trade?

Is forex still worth learning in 2026

Looking forward to hearing your experiences.

Stay away, you will lose money, short or long term. I complete waste of time and money., You have much better chance of learning Poker where you can actually get some edge.

Yes, the markets are different, but in terms of technical analysis, they are not really different.

Risk management does not create an edge. If your system doesn't have a positive expectancy, you will lose money, short or long term. It will only prolong the whole process.
