I started experimenting with the markets in 2012. Until 2016 (including 2016) I lost $42,000 in total.
The first year with profits larger than losses was 2017.
Since 2017 all years were positive.
The $ are all rounded up or down to have round numbers.
Included are realized profit/loss, dividends and interest (only "cash flow", no unrealized gains or losses are included).
2017: $49,000 first year in plus
2018: $146,000
2019: $143,000
2020: $53,000 Covid
2021: $79,000 Post-Covid
2022: $71,000 Sitting out the Bear market
2023: $160,000 went back in after Bear was over
Total so far for completed years: $701,000
2024: October, already at $160,000 (running total before end of the year: $861,000)
Keep working on it...
