How important is community to your trading journey?

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much having a supportive community can change the trading game. When I first started out, I was pretty lost. I watched countless videos and read all the blogs, but it wasn't until I joined a trading group that things really clicked for me. I love the idea of sharing strategies and learning from others' experiences, but I sometimes feel like online forums can get a bit toxic.

I'm curious—how has your experience been with trading communities? Do you find them helpful or have you encountered negativity? Any tips on finding or building a great trading community? Would love to hear your thoughts!
