    This is ET. You will have to get used to the negative.

    mr_byte,two things to consider:

    1 Most who offer to mentor are not qualified to do so.

    2 Even if they were, what they may be good at is unsuitable or incompatible with you.

    can you distinguish between reality and negativity?
    very few can.

    Delta1 is difficult to mentor. So much is subjective unless you're trading algo.

    Yes I can. A lot of what I see here is negativity, not reality. He asks for a mentor and people say there is no one who will help is not reality, it is negativity.

    There have been good people run off for trying to help new traders keep out of trouble. What typically is left are the negative ones who are angry with the world.

  7. This is the business we've chosen, I didn't ask who gave the order, cause it had nothing to do with business!

    Mentoring delta1 only works over a series of daily skype chats/whiteboards. Like 90 days. It's just too nuanced to stick to a ruleset. Top-down is the only thing that works, IMO. Same with options due to complexity.

    ooops...

    nobody comes to mind?

    well, one can always offer his own services and method to share... to show to the world the positivity and camaraderie of trader's community... no takers?

    imho the guy was given here plenty of suggestions and advice for starters to think about

    it may sound negative , but that is a reality of the field where 99 of 100 get killed in the process

    #2 is spot on. First you have to determine what kind of trader you are. That took me a long time to figure out.
