Some people don't understand nice. Padu has been lying on this forum for a long time and he has been exposed multiple times, yet he keeps doing it and nobody is doing something about it.
I have checked Padu charts from the beginning and he had wrong knowledge of reading them, but last handful of months he has changed in right direction.
Padu Trader is a guy that day and swing trades fx pairs and claims (paraphrasing) "to have found the secret to profitable trading after 30 years..." or something like that. He's light on specifics but I think it's based on TA type stuff, support / resistance and trend lines etc.
A trading mentor is the strongest determinant of success but that term itself is an oxymoron. Anyone who sells education is NOT profitable - be absolutely clear on that. There are successful traders who are willing to impart their wisdom and you will find they do not charge anything, the only problem is there are lots of opinionated unprofitable traders who also dispense their advice free of charge and it can be hard to tell the wheat from the chaff. A lot of it comes down to luck in meeting the right people but the qualities needed for a new starter are: 1) to stay teachable 2) but also have a good nose for bullshit Ultimately though, trading success is a path of pain. Will take years away from you and success is not guaranteed. Very few ppl make it, and for the rest - they let life pass them by. If ppl close to me asked for advice (and they have), I would tell them not to do it... but since I think you're gonna ignore that advice (lol), just know the rabbit hole is deeper than you think and perhaps put a hard stop loss on the time you invest in this endeavour.. cos 2 years can quickly become 3, 5.. 10. But I guess no one will tell you that...
He is willing to mentor us newbies for free. Don't know how good he really is but I would probably take him up if I am a struggling fx trader.
I personally would want to be mentored by someone who is actually succesful. Padu is not so i don't see how he could be a good mentor. I might be wrong since he also claimed he trained Goldman Sachs top traders.
