Did you maths teacher go home with you and help you with your maths homework?? What about your English teacher or your university lecturer??
If the answer is yes lucky you.
There are several good websites with trading mentors that offer online daily trading rooms where they trade live and you can sit there and watch ask questions and learn.
SNB Capital run an online internship for prospective traders. David Duty Common Sense Commodities runs a Futures trading webinar every night where he not only discusses trading but ask for student imput into taking trades. The students are more than welcome to copy the trades. I login to this webinar every night as I am a member of his group and a good friend.
Lan Turner has the Presidents Club with Track N Trade and not only offeres courses but membership to the Presidents Club gets you unlimited one on one trading mentorship.
Day Trading Forex Live run live trading webinars twice a week and Stirling Suhur is only too happy to discuss your trading questions at anytime via email.
Al Brooks runs a live trading room every night.
So as you can see there are no shortage of good traders to mentor you if you want that help.
That’s where you and I disagree again. A mentor is not only a teacher but someone who takes an avid interest in you journey to success. However most of my teachers have been mentors to me. Why?? Because I trusted them, looked up to them and were confident enough in their skill level to be able to feel comfortable in their ability to help me grow and develop.
I don’t know what your definition is but it sounds like you believe a mentor takes you by the hand and leads you to the promise land. To me that is unrealistic.
Further to my last email here is a screen shot of the Daily Market Preview released by Day Trading Forex Live everyday.
The debate is gone epic. Should it end with a conclusion?
Let me try to put it to an end.
Do not just follow YouTube as if you were medicine or engineering student. Watching a lawyer’s video won’t make one a lawyer. It’d just clear a concept. None of the professions make anyone rich instantly. It is all about learning. Universities have young lecturers as young as 25 years old, but they do not mentor research papers and projects. They just go to classes and teach until they are senior enough to become supervisors.
Find a trading supervisor just like that. Ask them for their references, show them your references. Ask why they are looking for students. Ask if they took classes themselves. Who else is with them. Mentors keep their students open. They don’t hide anything. If they have websites, they’ll always show who they learnt from themselves and who they are teaching to now, and what those learners have achieved so far. If one failed, why failed and how the failed student was elevated. Elevated or not elevated… How often the mentor modified his teachings as industry continued to develop… It continues… There is a lot to consider when it comes to finding your teacher, mentor, supervisor, master, guru, or shifu.
Becoming a 7 figure per year trader isn’t less than a PhD in any subject. (Is a new debate ready to begin?)
If you know with whom you work, in our case online trading here, success is bound to follow.
The problem of “mentors” is the same of trading courses.
You have to find a guy with a verified trackrecord of 5 years (mostly impossible).
Without a serious trackrecord you are wasting significant money to pay someone to tell you stuff you can find here for free or on cheap books.
