If you want to meet dependable Thai's it would help if you stop hanging around places like Pattaya, the bars and girls that come with them. For **** sake, what do you expect if you hang around areas dedicated to sex tourism ?

Plenty of really good Thai folks out there. Just not where you like to hang out.

@HammoRen

Paying the bills is just a baseline. But someone who can't pay their bills from trading can hardly claim to be a professional trader.

Trading knowledge & Experience mostly! Successful learning ends up making a trader successful. The first step of being successful is to develop one’s mindset because Forex-friendly mindset helps a trader derive enough profit from the market. I never suggest any paid course for learning rather only learning sources are available for free.

They treat trading like a serious profession and will be staying in the market for a long time. Discipline and patience sets them apart from amateur traders who quit after encountering losses. In simple words, a professional trader has an edge over the market which comes from knowledge and experience.

A successful professional trader has a trading system in place. This system is built on careful observation of personal approach, money $ risk management, and price movement of the instrument he is trading. A professional trader knows when he will enter the trade and there is bound to be time when he won’t be in the trade. Unless the trade is triggered as per his system, he won’t trade. For them, trading is serious business and losses are just a part of it. They don’t take any loss personally and remain calm. They are consistent and patient.

Every professional trader follows the saying 'cut your losses short and let your winnings run.' Every competent forex trader is irritated by their losses. When the market swings against them, they either place a stop loss close to 100 pips or exit a losing trade early. When they detect the market moving in the direction they predicted, they let their winning trades run until it begins to fall again by more than 100 pips. Beginners do the opposite: they let their losses continue in the hopes that they will reverse, and they cut their winnings short in fear of missing out on them.

A professional forex trader, in my opinion, requires years of experience and is stimulated by well-defined strategies that produce consistent returns.

Though being a professional trader seems like a lot of fun and a rain of profits, it can become hectic and very challenging at times. A professional trader trades full-time and should always be flexible enough to adapt to the changing market conditions and make decisions based on that. If you are confident enough to do a lot of hard work, then being a professional forex trader will be an amazing career path for you.

Agree with you. Also think experience that can only be gained over time is crucial to be considered truly professional.

It’s the zeal to stay consistent in the forex market and keep trading regardless of the results obtained. You must change your trading strategy if you cannot keep up with the market moves to make consistent income in every case you can.

I believe a professional trader is one who can treat forex like a business - not get attached to the money, t being confident in the strategy, constantly improving their strategy, and being consistent while trading.

Constant practice and learning from your mistakes makes you a better investor. Give it time and through experience, you will understand how to pull in consistent profit, eventually and select opportunities that work in our favour. It is not something that happens overnight. Professional traders keep an open mind and are ready to face challenges. They don’t give up if they come across a loss.

A professional trader is not a new trader you see in the market getting desperate to make profits. He is someone who has been in the market for years and knows that hard work will get him results and not unrealistic expectations.

I'm sure I can name the main signs of a professional trader.
1. Forex is the main job. CFD trading brings a trader as much money as he needs for a good life.
However, he keeps increasing his professionalism.
2. A professional trader has a less than 10% drawdown. This is a must.
3. All professional traders know how to use all analysis and trading tools including different trading platforms, indicators, advisors, robots.
4. This person constantly watches financial news and must know what is happening in the world. In addition, this person knows how to use any events for their own profit.
