Where can I find mentoring???

hey guys.

As you can see, I'm new to the forum, and to FX trading too, I've been doing this for a couple of months, and I've learned, I've seen progress so far, but... I think I need some mentoring, and learn from successful traders.

Where can I find good mentoring?? I don't care if I have to pay for it or not, I mean free mentoring is always good lol, but I wanna know how this works, as fast as possible, with someone that KNOWS FX.

Thanks =)

I would strongly encourage you to reconsider what you have asked.

There are lots of snakes out there in the markets who would like to separate you from your money.

The only mentoring you need is to:

1. Pick a strategy you are comfortable with.

2. Trade this strategy on demo.

3. Trade on real when you are profitable on demo.

So how do you find a strategy?

1. Read a single technical analysis book. (I suggest one which is widely known in the investment community for its excellent - 1. A book by John Murphy or Jack Schwager. 2. The best book I've ever read - Technical Analysis for the Financial Market Technician)

2. Read through the message boards looking for something you like.

3. Practice this strategy as long as you need before committing real money to it.


From experience, I can say that a strategy with the least amount of indicators and the simplest rules is typically the best. Also, you don't need a mentor and you don't need handholding. You need screentime and practice...this is what makes a professional trader.

I don't know where you can find good mentoring but you should be aware of scams or other "bad people"
A few days ago, a guy, from this forum PMed me, and react so badly when I told him that I got a mentor, I don't know why.
And another guy I had contact wasn't offer me a good deal

... so when you know where to look for, you should ask to the forum if it is ok

Stay away from paying for anything except maybe a single book.

All you need to do is fire up an excel document and practice for a few hours a day...remember, growth comes at the point of resistance. If you're running from learning, you're doing the wrong thing!

The mentoring that I'm paying is doing a very very good job on me... And the price it ask me is nothing compared with his work... so it's fine to me.
I'm don't running from learning, I enjoy learning, but you know, I am a beginner and the only thing I want is to start to understand something... and then go on myself

Very good observation. It will help all the new traders to make their plans better.

I think you should away from paid mentors and continue your learning with youtube where you can find a lot of material over Forex trading in free and can also discuss your problems in Forex forums and find the solutions.

Sound practical advice. Paid trading courses offer what is already available for free over the internet. Not to mention they are quite expensive.

Definitely it's difficult to find a mentor and even a good one. That is why I have put myself out there as one and guarantee my services. A good mentor will be held accountable for their students success and that is what most traders need to short-cut their learning. Someone to point out what they are doing wrong and what they aren't able to see. Sure you can do it yourself but it just takes longer. It's all a matter of speed. You make your own mistakes and learn from them or leverage off another's experience. Mentorship is more than just adjusting the details of your method, it's also adjusting the errors of the mind. Like any other competitive sport, a coach plays a vital role in the maintaining performance. And in any school, the teacher and tutor is more valuable to the student than the textbook.
