It is great when useful information is provided free of charge and allows traders to get used to the new conditions. But against the background of how this proposal is presented, I would like to clarify - how do you define the professionalism of a trader? Because it seems to me that most of it is based on the size of the trader's capital, the more it is, the higher is the efficiency and success of the trader. Or the emphasis is placed on serious work, which is based on a competent analysis of the market and the study of all the details of current events. I would very much like the whole point to be at the last moment, because money is certainly a significant detail for the market, but I would like traders to take it seriously and brokers support them in this.
Hi Perilace-Your question is "how do you define the professionalism of a trader." The answer is very subjective. And, there is no black and white answer to that. I would say that, IMO, these are some metrics. I would say a trader is a professional trader if they are employed by a broker-dealer, hedge fund, RIA, CTA, CPO or any other registered entity and derive their compensation from trading. I would also say that a non-registered person that devotes their workday to make a living from trading, to pay their bills and save etc, is also a professional trader, as they derive their income from that. I would not draw the line at the size of the account but the dependence on income from it.
