I go first, my view of successful trading will be link from the name “success” itself,
if i can trade for the love of it and could lock some substantial profits consistently at the long run, then i can term myself a successful trader, however, demonstrating my skill or knowledge requires discipline and perseverance. It may be broken down
into steps in a trading plan, and there is heavy conscious involvement in executing trades with the right
signals and position sizing.
While
professional trading means i have reached the unconscious competence has i have had so much practice executing trades within my system that it has become “second nature” and can be done consistently - as a result, the trading skills can be performed mechanically and automatically and i may be able to teach it to others as am now an expert.
PS: No critics, everyone is involved, each opinions matters, no opinion is less or more. Let’s make this a wonderful debate.

There can’t be a debate about professional, it has a meaning. If you trade for your main source of income or are paid to do it, you are a professional trader.
Successful surely means profitable over a long period of time.

Yoruba is my first language and my identity. My teacher would say languages are wide course reason why a professor will always have a dictionary; and then go on to say all we need is know the basics and build around them. And I did.
I still makes some mistakes tho and oftentimes mistook some common grammars like been & being, I’m & Am and I hate big words but at least I know the difference between hawkish and dovish lol
