This thread is current in the Psychology section, but I link it here as I feel it is useful for newbies. Many "mentors" and training programs are scams. If they cannot show you consistent profits in real time, be very skeptical if their methods works at all. Scammed by "mentors" is not only costly in terms of money, the damage is often irreparable as many newbies may not have the time, resources or commitment to the learning process again. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=174098
