To me a Professional Trader is someone who does this for a living, as their main source of income.

Okay; but for me I have plan B even plan C according to the market situations! Since, there is no guarantee in Forex; so I have to move with multiple trading plans on trading.

So they should! If all your plans involve forex, then you are a professional trader, because you have a strategy for success in forex!

Professional trade follows trading plan. Amateur trader does not so he is a gambler. That's why 95% of traders are losing.
Trading plan has to define when to enter trade and when exit. (also when you DO NOT trade, trade size, etc.)
So there is no need for plan B or whatever nonsense.

You can be professional with only one plan (read 'strategy'), or you can have multiple plans (strategies).
I personally use multiple strategies, on multiple accounts also:
Plan A: Primary EA on Main account
Plan B: High-risk Asian scalper on secondary account
Plan C: High-risk all-sessions scalper on tertiary (overclocking) account
Plan D: Linear Cost-Averaging Grid EA
Plan E: Manual trading
etc.
The qualifying factor is: 'Do you ultimately aim to make money (ie. commercial enterprise)?'

Sure you can have more strategies
But you cannot have more trading plans per one strategy
You can even trade more strategies on single account

Just consistent profit withdrawn, it is enough for me to call them Professional.

Nope withdrawing money could mean you were lucky.
I think a trader can be qualified as a pro trader if trading is if s/he can support living by trading as a a main source of income (of course that varies according to each country) I think somebody has said that already. Intelligent emotionless traders, INTJ variants,(look for Briggs-Myers personality theories), and women fare the best I've told myself.

I mean consistent withdraw, not one time withdraw. It means that, they can make money by self trade, not by selling or teaching goods from Google

Experience has shown that most manual strategies pass the eye test. They have good risk reward ratios.
The greatest problem, in my view is EMOTIONAL CONTROL. You really cant call yourself a professional trader is you dont have emotional control of your trades. And the only way to that is to consistently use proper money management.

A professional trader is analogous to a professional gambler:

That’s really interesting; in my community there have so many interested girls; but almost all of they are the newbie’s or intermediate traders.

What a great conversation here! Even a Kelly formula was reminded.
No matter how much strategies and business plans you use, the most important thing is to be changeable and be ready for market behavior.
