Well I think you have to be profitable and consistent before you can be considered a forex trader.
Reason because alot of individuals that are trading might end up giving up, so in such a situation if you recognise such a person as a forex trading what will you say when he or she has stop and has given up? ex-trader lol
Be I believe that profitability and consistency is enough for that identification there is no amount of money you need to reach before they call you a forex trader.
After all some rich traders that copy trade, will not be considered a forex trader, so personal profitability and consistency is enough.
Consistency is what i would say the best approach that you would be needing when dealing up with markets or lets say that you would be considered to be a profitable one if you are that consistent of course. Loses are inevitable but the most important thing is that you do know on how you would be able to sustain yourself. Not only just that being consistent but also you should be that having that kind of emotional management and risks management on which these are also the things that you would be needing up to learn for you to become consistent because once you would be able to learn up these things then you would be finding yourself that able to sustain on which this is the most important thing of all. You can call yourself as a trader on just simply making up some simple buy and sell on whatever assets that you are that trying to deal on with but of course the main question on here would be that profitability and this is something that will differ on each trader.
