The first rule of finding a mentor is not asking strangers. Asking for a mentor here on a forum is just fruitless and waste of time. As like many other forums, majority of the people here just like to pontificate; the ones that are capable of being a mentor won't respond to this request, cause, it is just lazy. With that said, I am going to do my share of pontificating: You can definitely find a mentor, you need to put a lots of work in it. There are a plenty of extremely knowledgeable and qualified folks out there that want to pay it forward by helping others. Keep in mind that no one will give you the key to their kingdom but will show you how to find yours. Get out, network with people that you inspire to be like them and show them how they can be better at what they do by mentoring you, that will be the start of your journey. Good luck.
I don't believe in Warrior Trader or even Clay Trader. They never show their skills live. They never share the screen and the setup and ongoing positions and the in and out prices. they only show recap ! I can make a recap to you on a demo account ( delayed 15 min) and tell you how much money I made. I can't even believe in them. what made me think about tradenet service, is they go online everyday and trade live !!!
Take everything with a grain of salt. Majority are charlatans selling you a pipe dream. The reason they do not show you their tax returns and broker statements is they do not trade at all! Take the seminars conducted at hotels. They promise you will make millions in the stockmarket. That it is so easy but, never, not once, have they shown you an example of a trade setup! The reason that you should look for that trade setup is to determine if these guys are even competent to teach you anything! They are not! Most of them are salesmen! The reason why there are so many so called mentors offering to train you is because of the easy monies. If they can fleece say $2,000 for one of you and they get 100 people to sign up, that is $200,000 in monies which is a sure thing! Sure beats investing or trading in the stockmarket doesn't it? They do not even have to work for it! In contrast, a trader, especially a good one makes his monies trading the stockmarket! He is too busy to mentor anyone let alone, sell seminars? If he is good, he can write his own check! He doesn't need to sell his services for thousands when he can make millions?
So true. Scammers like the Warrior trading guys are just typical. They do a bunch of tricks to fool their audience into believing or at the least hoping they are actually trading for real. Of course not. They're making far more money from subs and fees perhaps several hundred thousand per year from so many newbs that follow them for a while. Check out tradingschools.org where Emmett has some of the best advice. Such as test your own strategies whether manually or with a backtesting software, and practice them like a performance sport. Learn to lose small first when sticking to your trading rules. Earlier in this thread there were good points. The few truly successful traders have little to no incentive to bother mentoring a stranger. It's just pure luck to be a relative, friend or have some connection to someone really trading who is willing to mentor. So if no luck there, then you have to do it on your own and then it's another round of luck to find your own method and strategies that work and for how long. My own 2 cents tip is to learn to "lose" meaning learning to lose well, preferably practicing losing small to help stick to your stop and small % risk rules.
first i agree - i was a lucky guy and my great mentor passed, in fact i had several good mentors all found by attending monthly meetings of technical analysis group. faced with eventual mortality and lack of an heir which possesses the passion to trade. i would think there is substantial motivation for successful traders to pass on the gift.
The perfect answers will show up for you. Mentorship comes from a sustained ‘asking’. Whether that mentorship comes from the collective experiences of a single individual or multiple people offering an accessible piece both point to the same thing - answers are locked by the ability to ask the right questions. Asking the right questions require one to sift and sort through contrast. The answers to the questions you’ve asked have produced a spectrum of contrast. Some are resonating with you and others are not. Follow what resonates and discard the rest. Even though you have some uncertainty, you are building your ability for greater discernment. Keep going, you’ll find answers that are satisfying which stop inquiry and others that are thought-provoking and expand inquiry. May you experience good fortune !
I will write a thread for my experience with worrier trading in a webinar so saty tuned It is funny story
