What will make you profitable in the field of the stock market is your risk management, so-called money management. This principle tells us that we must risk 1 to 3 percent capital per position taken. As a result, series of losses are always smaller than gains, and it is this parameter that decides whether a trader is profitable in the long run. Because yes understand that you can be profitable on a very short term by earning $ 500 a day, and the next day losing $ 1000 if your risk management is bad.:-)
