Hi everyone! I’m new to all this so please excuse my ignorance if this has been discussed before!
I’ve been reading at length about how Forex and the Stock Markets work, and been watching lots and lots of videos on YouTube. I get the gist of how it all works and been running a Demo account for just over a month now, not doing that bad just about breaking even. However I feel I now need a bit more from a Trading Coach or Mentor who really knows his/her stuff.
I’ve scoured the internet for coaches and mentors (yes I know the difference!) and read some of their blogs and web pages, and listened to their Podcasts and YouTube vids. It seems no matter who I ‘latch on to’ and follow my internet searches about them always reveals negativity, i.e. they are always being rubbished, debunked, accused of being scammers and/or making up charts, or just trying to sell courses (which in themselves are described as a load of rubbish).
I know there are a lot of ‘know-it-all’ internet trolls out there spouting garbage about anything and everything, but I’m getting a bit exasperated trying to find someone ‘genuine’ out there who really knows what they are talking about.
Anyone got any recommendations of people who genuinely helped them out? I’m seeking a response from private ‘at home’ traders here who are doing well, not people offering their services saying “yeah I can teach you for $3,000”.
I would add that to me ‘doing well’ would be regularly making 20-50 pips per day (or even a week!), not necessarily making hundreds of thousands of dollars - or millions!!!
It just seems to me funding a genuine, reliable trading coach or mentor is as elusive as the holy grail itself.
Recommendations please before I’m sent down another path of what is right and what is wrong!!!
Thanks!
