Hello
I want a little advice here. I have been trading on and off for around 3 years. I stopped working 9 months ago. This was not my choice. I took the opportunity to trade full time. I now spend my days looking at charts and waiting for something I like the look of. I dont have a real system that I could document. I mostly trade EUR GBP intraday. I am no genius and I dont know any secrets. I have been profitable for the last 6 months. I never allow myself the belief that I am a successful trader because I still have the fear of what could go wrong. Although as time goes by I guess I will at some point have to start to believe that I am a trader.
This is not meant to sound like trumpet blowing. The reason for the post is to ask other traders for their opinion. When do you let yourself believe that you are a trader and that this is / will be your main / only source of income for the next x years or forever?
Thanks
