Of course any professional trader once was a newbie. It's impossible to imagine that there were some people who started traing activity and became professionals right away. It's a long way which perhaps brought them lots of disappointments and it was worth them lots of money, time and nerves. However, they're high right now and we are able to look at them and make them a motivation for us. In my opinion, you should never think of becoming a professional, because it will confuse you a lot. You have to think about how to elaborate cool strategy or how to determine which trading styile is the most suitable and so on and so forth.
