Determination is the only bridge between goals and accomplishments, you'll have plenty of time to procrastinate once the world is your oyster, especially at that age.
And herein probably lies your biggest issue, you can already draw some conclusions from those few words you just said. Implying that simply trading all markets like a zombie for years and endlessly doing the same things in the same market is enough and that it will casually lead somewhere on its own. What about the rest of the work??? That's where the real progress is likely to be made. Trade less, work more.
If you're spending those hours on catching up on Mandalorian, playing a few rounds of Fortnite, endlessly bantering with Derek, checking up on social media and who knows what else, then you can't seriously expect to ever catch up and compete with people who have been active since day 1.
You cannot see a real reward without real sacrifice. I shared some long-winded posts that span across 5 screens, surely forum record for long-windedness, about sacrifices I made during the first 6 months or whatever, and I couldn't even begin to describe all the necessary work and sacrifices properly, there was some serious catching up to do. The only forced breaks I ever took was when I couldn't sleep anymore, and now the markets are even harder so you do the math and calculate the required effort for anyone new looking to break in.
I would not stand for this honestly, the ego alone would refuse to take no for an answer, 3 or however many years is a long time to break through that first barrier. Those that have practically given up and are just going through the motions for lack of better things to do need to re-evaluate, and re-evaluate ASAP.
Filthy casuals only serve one purpose in the market and that's as cannon fodder.
