It is going to likely take you something such as 5 years to become consistantly profitable, presuming you've got the talent. It is not about the egy, it's all about the plogy. You will be your worst enemy in these forthcoming years. There is no shortcut, you are going to have to make through it. But the reward is great if you live.

In addition, it's a lousy idea to set such goals like $5000/per month. You can't control that and if you are not able to recah the target, it is only going to make you do dumb mistakes such as overtrading or using too high leverage. Even if you get to profitability, there'll be losing months and you will need to get savings or additional company to cover that. Consistent profitabily means following a very clear business plan and understanding yields, and taking into account the time of your trading. By way of example, if I'm a place trader who takes 20-30 trades per year seeking to ch the big moves, it is possible I'll have several losing months, but I wind up getting a wonderful return at the end of the year. In case a daytrader had 6 losing months in a row, that would just be horrible (but he would likely already have dismissed the account earlier or commited suicide).
