Hi Diego
this is a really great string and actually something that ive often wondered about. I have seen online a lot of advertisements for mentors and professional traders who allow you to follow their trades. perhaps you could get involved in a couple of these communities for a trial to see if you get any inside tips? might be cheaper and less risky than putting all your eggs in one basket.
There are very few really good mentors out there. Most people who charge to mentor do it because they can’t trade for a living. When I say most, I mean like 999 out of 1000. A very few mentor because they’ve made all the millions they can possibly ever spend and they just do it for the attention they get from it. It’s not likely you’ll ever meet one of those though.
Having a forex mentors is a good one because you get to learn from them and help yourself prepared on how to face this business. It is good to trade good and with a good forex mentors one can actually learn much more from them.
Hi, I was wondering if you might have any suggestions for trusted “mentors” of which you might have come by through the years.
Thanks very much.
Yeah, there is this person named Mikey/ICT, the best mental around, in fact he is so mental that no one wants him around. Hahaahahhahahaahhahaah, oh I cain’t stop, _bob pull this mask off of me cause I’m smokin.

Does MrsViper know about this mysterious Mrs. Calabash…
I think, learning from internet is the best! Although, it’s a long term process but much secure than depending on others!
Like many people I also learn all from internet. I feel the need of training. If some one tell us and trained us we can understand trading quickly and early. I not say that mentor should do trading for us . For learning purpose mentor role is important. He can guide on the base of his experience.
It’s certainly unmistakably clear from all the posts made here by each of you that you’ve “learned” entirely from online, unverified, unreviewed, unedited sources. Heaven forbid that either of you should ever read a book.
not for nothing but ICT is back on twitter and he is going to be doing daily market videos. This could be very helpful if any of you are struggling. I know at some point he will be charging but at least till the end of the year it is totally free.
btw I know he is a very polarizing person and you either love him or hate him. Me I am with the love em group. his concepts has brought my trading to another level. His material is very advanced but he breaks it down to small chunks that can be easier to understand.
It will take hard work and dedication but you can become constantly profitable, but I can promise you this, whether it is Michael or any other mentor you will have to work hard and submit to time. There is no other way. period.
Shhhh, listen, hear that, it’s the sound of no one listening. Recently met someone who could not get through “Trading For A Living”, it was too harsh and unrelenting. Oh and happy days are here again, Mikey is back on Twitter, so there is no need to read any books.

It’s really rare that a person teaches you something for free. It’s It’s plain as day though, cause they spend their time. The main thing here is that this person is an expert and doesn’t ask for anything at the end.
I found my mentor back on babypips many years ago. I was invited to a traders skype group, which became daily communication for a few years with some other in-progress traders like myself. One out of that group became highly successful, and I am lucky enough to call him my closest friend though he’s on the opposite side of the world - we speak daily.
Here’s the thing, yes pretty much all the info you need is out there on the internet for free. But learning to sift through the bad and only follow the good, learning to focus on a trading style, learning methods of money management and psychological tips - these are all best done with someone who has already done it and can show you the way. Otherwise it will take much longer, that’s my 2 cents.

Lucky you 
I’ve been sifting through the free stuff for two years and I have learned more in the last week than I have for those entire two years just by interacting with people on the forums.
If that statement was a trade, I’d run it without a stop loss… because the only direction that trade would run would be into profit. You don’t even need a formal teacher to speed up the process of learning to trade, you just need a few knowledgeable people you can trust to answer your questions and guide your thinking and learning.

Very true, as long as the student chooses the teacher(s) wisely. I think you are in good hands and you’re an above average “student” - if I were placing a bet on you, I’d go long, lol… okay, enough cheese for the day!

Very much typical of here on babypips. Knowing who has something to say and who hasn’t is half the battle.
