Congratulations on your decision to put yourself on the path to trading live! With enough determination, humility and patience - not to mention a ceaseless commitment to education - you'll succeed in fulfilling the goals you've set.

Something important that you (rightly) omitted is timeframe. You've set yourself no oppressive deadlines, only general, reasonable milestones by which to gauge your development. That's good, because as 4xstar said, there will be setbacks - sometimes recurrent setbacks. One things that is helpful to remember as a participant in a market environment: don't be afraid to take a step back; pushing through a bad trading habit (easier to develop than you think), hangup or losing streak is not always - or even usually - the best way to deal. Get some reflective distance, re-orient yourself and then approach the market again. Don't forget, you've got a great resource in others at this forum!
