You can be called a professional trader if you have a well track record of profits in trading for more than a year and still counting. Because you trade profitably for about 3 months and yourself a pro trader, for you to be called a pro trader, you must be someone who has learned the rules of the market and play by it, you must have a strategy, be deciplined and have had years of experience and in some cases have managed some individuals or institutional accounts profitably.
