its not about encouragement and all tht crap. i simply dont understand when it comes to trading why ppl are so adamant about show me your contract note and blah blah before mentoring. same crap is there for tv analyst and this so called only chart will tell and news is useless.
anyways there is no end to this discussion i am happy and thankful for my coaching. ppl are happy learning trading without mentor. there was an eklavya and there was a Arjuna as students. apni apni choice hai. you may also quote some other eg as per your bias. i have quoted as per my bias.
People ask because, they don't believe. They don't believe because, it is about Trading & Money.
Certainly, Mentors cant teach how to make money instantly, neither they can give any secret methods.
But good experienced traders as mentors can reduce our learning curve to good extent, provided if they have openness to take the student through their experience's and student also should have the mindset to learn from others mistakes.
Mentors Can teach what is right or what is wrong in the classroom. And it is definitely useful. But end of the day how that knowledge is used, for what purpose it is used is what will make the trader win or loose.
Ekalavya learned without mentor but was lost in middle.
Arjuna had a greater mentor and won finally.
But his great mentor Drona also finally lost in the real war.
