To me, a professional trader is one where his/her primary (and sometimes only) income is derived from the profits of his/her trading.
And that income must come directly from their trading not 'forex education' etc?

If you teach others how to trade and make all of your income from teaching, then you're not a forex trader, you're a forex educator.

For me, a professional trader is not someone who makes oodles of money day in and day out. Traders who are professional in their approach, consistent in their efforts, follow their plans, strategically take every move, stay disciplined, don’t chase money and try to learn lessons from their failures are professional traders.

There are some forex signals that can be profitable for you, there are some that are at least 70% accurate, you should know the test and understand if the signals are worth your trust before you take them. So it's better to use the signals on a demo account first or to learn from a professional

Protecting capital and keeping dd down is more important than the monthly percentage. I want to clarify an important thing for everyone: investors should be aware of the risks of the currency market and the high volatility that occurs daily. Our advice to everyone: invest only money that you can afford to lose

Patience – is one of the essential qualities that a successful trader must either have or learn over time. It is the lack of patience that forces us to rush into wasteful trades that often lead to unnecessary losses. The fact that there are always plenty of opportunities in the market worth waiting for is being realized by myself always :)

A number of times i've seen comments on this site alluding that professional traders dont make their statements public; some talk on no solicitation for funds on such forums; some on the need for one to have more than 100 trades and so forth. But what would make one be considered to be Professional coz at some point many aspire to be! Share you thoughts here.

In order to become a professional trader, the very first thing that needs to be done is learn to trade it as a craft. Take it really serious.

As long as you can make consistent profit in forex trading, you are already professional, but professional I think they not only work in one investment type, they will diversify the portfolio to balancing strategy investment, there is a portion for forex investment, there is a portion for investment in bonds, mutual funds or treasury, crypto, etc.

The forex market is not something one can just jump into without good knowledge about how it works. While sometimes one can gamble on it and become rich, one can also gamble and go bankrupt. Getting rich through forex trading requires a total understanding of the market.

Leaning from own trading mistake is the best practice! But, we should try to complete our main learning process in the beginning stage of trading!

Right strategy and careful back-testing of the trading plan makes a trader pro.
