Where Can I Find a Mentor?

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I've been training myself for the past few months on forex and stock trading, so far so good (especially for self taught). I'm well on my way and able to see the bigger picture, but my fine tuning needs some work. I'm beginning to get frustrated and down at this point as I have really high hopes for this (not unrealistic, just high) and am hoping to make a career out of trading.

 

I do not personally know anybody else who trades and therefore am on my own. The part about trading that I appreciate the most is that we work for ourselves and that our own hard work determines our success. Having said that, about 4-5 months ago, I was part of a mass "down sizing" where I worked. I've always wanted to work for myself and saw this lay off as a sign. I quickly took action, having spent countless number of hours daily training myself, staying up all night at times if I had to, stopped going out just to give myself more time learning. I know I'm close to getting my system down, but something is still a little off and my entries/exits arent quite right yet.

 

As I'm doing this alone, I cannot always see my own errors, only a 2nd pair of eyes can point out what I'm doing wrong.

 

I am in the Dallas / Fort Worth area and very optimistically searching for a mentor or anybody that can give me guidance. If you are willing to help, or know anybody who would, please PM me, I am available anytime of the day, night, weekends, ANYTIME, this is priority #1 in my life.

 

I thank you for having taken the time to read my post and thank you for any help you may be able to offer.

 

 

Happy trading to all!

Well, I think you can easily find a mentor. There are too many of them I think. That is the hardest question to solve when you come to trading. It is not about the method, but mostly about you and your mentor. If you dont have one then the mentor will be the Market. You can find your success on your own, but it will take you years. Mentor can be a shortcut.

But you never know if he is good until you try him.

You may consider joining an online trading room. Then your location does not matter. Let me know if you are interested and I will get you the information to the one I belong to.

Good Luck in any case - Wall Street Takes No Prisoners

hi Lusername,

 

I'm a forex trader.

 

I'm glad to give you some training.

 

but before that, I need to get some information from you.

 

Age.

health.

experience in forex trading, Live or demo

 

and the most important, answer this question:

 

if you have $100,000, how much loss you could accept for one trade ?

 

and for this training, it is not the way to make you rich quickly. the target for this training in the first year is to make you survive from this market and get about 5% profit.

 

so, if you are interested, PM me.

 

and do not worry, this training is free.

 

Regards,

 

TradeCopy

What sort of instruments are you trading. Have you tried twitter at all? It's not mentoring in the traditional sense but there are a number of great traders posting live updates and explaining the concepts and reasons behind their trades. I recommend taking a look at #FT71 and #OLE34 hashtags.

I'll help you. Just get a hold of me so I know what you're looking for. I'll work with you a bit and then hook you up based on where you are.

 

Before anyone gets sideways - Yes I'm a vendor.

 

Am I willing to extend to some FREE help to anyone who is genuinely reaching out?

 

Absolutely.

 

I do it daily.

It's been my experience that Mentors just mess you up more.

 

Your timing, can only be developed by practice. No amount of mentoring can do that for you.

 

Also, you can't win every trade. The markets are random most of the time, so a large amount of signals are actually false in the first place. The only thing you can do is robotically take every single one, so you don't miss the real ones. Just learn to keep your losses small, and let your profits run.

 

High percentage systems tend to have many smaller winners, but also smaller losers (my experience) However, there are systems that lose more than they win, but the wins are so huge that they more than make up for the losses. You have to decide which game you want to play.

 

I trade 2 systems. I do something called Spear Point trading that is a Trend/Swing Trading method, and then I do another that is newer to me and focused on day trading. I have found success with both. I have bigger wins with the Spear Point Trading, and more wins, less losses with the other one. Both win 60% or more of the time.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
