What's your definition of a beginner?

Everyone defines beginner differently: under a year, still losing, first 100 trades, no live account yet. The label matters because advice aimed at beginners should differ from advice for intermediates.

How would you define it?

• time, trades or results?
• when did you stop calling yourself a beginner?
• what should a beginner thread assume about its readers?

The answers here will shape how this whole category is written.
