When did you finally feel like a profitable trader?

My trading journey has been long, and there are still periods where I feel like I'm not where I want to be yet.

At the same time, when I look at my results over a longer period, I'm profitable. It made me wonder if there's actually a milestone where you can say, "I'm a profitable trader now," or if it's something you never really feel because you're always trying to improve.

When did you finally feel like a profitable trader, if at all?
