Looking for a Trading Mentor

I’ve been digging through tons of threads about trading. Was super interested in it before joining, but it seems like no one here wants to teach. YouTube vids I find are complicated, especially those with OctaFX or Exness. Anyone know a good link or a person who can help a newbie like me?

Honestly, you might not find a true mentor here. Be wary if you get PMs from random newbies after this post. Most likely scams. But if you need materials to start learning, I can share a couple of links.

There's a ton of trading videos out there, but for beginners, I’d suggest grabbing "the candlestick bible." It breaks things down. Also, get comfy with Meta Trader 4 or 5. Just a heads-up: advertising for mentors can attract scammers, so stay alert.

Thanks a lot! Appreciate your input. I’ll definitely take your advice to heart.

Just a heads-up after posting this, you’ll probably get PMs from scammers pretending to be real traders. No one here has proven their skills in trading, so be cautious. If you're looking for resources, check if there are live trading academies near you or look up @TheTradingGeek on YouTube.

Beginners often make the mistake of announcing they’re looking for a mentor. Scammers thrive on that. If you need guidance, keep it private. A good mentor is hard to find anyway, and they usually won’t come knocking on your door.

YouTube really doesn’t simplify things for beginners. Learn the basics first, and try connecting with local traders who can teach you in person instead of getting lost in online classes.

Totally agree. My first time looking at charts felt like rocket science. But over time, it gets easier. Don’t rush yourself; start small and build your knowledge gradually.

Exactly. Broadcasting your need for a mentor just attracts scammers. Better to find a friend into trading instead of revealing your search to the public. Even here, you can’t be sure you won’t get scammed.

You’re not alone in this journey. Most newbies have to grind through sleepless nights to learn trading. Patience is key, and don’t expect quick profits. Stick to the resources shared here and keep learning.

Many so-called mentors aren’t even good traders. You can teach yourself with so many resources online. Just practice consistently, and you’ll improve.

If you're determined, you can learn trading. Just get the Binance app and follow the strategies you find. There are resources out there that can help you.

Actually, there’s a wealth of free info on trading available online. Don’t waste money on mentors when you can learn for free. Just focus on finding the right info.

Trading can be tough for many, but if you’re really into it, here are a few free resources to check out. Just remember to use stop-loss orders to protect your capital.

Self-taught traders are often the most successful. Paying for a mentor might speed things up, but many still struggle. Your determination to learn is key.

Mentors can be great, but it’s better if it’s someone you know. They’ll understand your learning style and provide better guidance than a stranger.

Having a mentor is subjective. It really depends on how you learn and what your trading goals are. Just be cautious, since many claim to be experts these days.

What’s the deal with all these scammy PMs? It’s like they’re just lurking for anyone desperate enough to pay for help. Stay sharp.

Finding a true mentor is a struggle these days. Most just want to take advantage of your need to learn.

This forum is full of smart people. I’ve learned so much just by reading the threads. Really appreciate everyone’s help here.
