Mark: Could you expand on why you think it’s so important to be mentored in person? Would this not lead to you coping the mentors methodology rather than developing your own? A mentor should guide one to come up with their own system whether it be in person or online. A mentors...

I would suggest you first determine what it is you want to trade, what strategy you are going to use and then find a broker or brokers that meet your needs. I trade from Canada and have accounts with several brokers depending on what I'm trading. My main trading broker is IB.

All I can do is offer to help. The lead a horse to water thing. I can no more force a person than I can force the market. I cannot guarantee success. I was fortunate to find a mentor online when I was struggling. This person helped me by asking one question over and over. “Why did you do...

Thats exactly what a mentor should do "help/ force/ guide you thru the psychological aspects of trading " Most want someone to tell them what to do. Someone to give them a system that works all the time. I have offered to mentor a few here on ET at no cost but it seems that no one wants to...

Can you list them and explain how OTC will solve them.

You have to ask yourself what do you expect OTA to teach you? Is this something you can learn yourself? Why not?

If you are trading/scalping price action and watching every bar form, which Brooks seems to do, then every bar becomes a potential set-up bar. I have questioned why identical set-ups were played differently. I'm now assuming that the way the bars formed has something to do with his...

The focus should be more on risk than on time. Am I ready to risk “real stakes” Do I have enough confidence in my system to stick with it when committing “real stakes” ?

You have probably just found some of the many reasons for not succeeding.

You are saying that the value of these courses is in the psychological side. That they are not going to teach you any magical little known set-up that works all the time. Can you give an example of something you got from the course that you wouldn’t have learned eventually? What...

Do you ever adjust your stop in mid trade?

Is this stop placed at the time of entry?

No stop loss? What are you afraid of? Missing a move. If you are continually getting stopped could it be that your entries are incorrect. Being wrong. Once you close the trade you have admitted and there is proof that you were wrong. Losing money. You’re in the trade to make money...

The reason you want to learn more is that you are not meeting the potential objectives that you believe are possible from trading. I would suggest that you ask yourself what it is that you expect of your trading and why is it that you are not achieving those results? Be honest with...

Might I respectfully inquire as to why you are not exploiting this tangible edge yourself? Is teaching more lucrative than trading? Do you claim to be a better teacher than a trader and if so why is that. Why are just a number of your clients making money? Why not all your clients?

If you can find a successful trader you can find a mentor. All you have to do is ask. Most will gladly share with you how they trade. Don’t expect any deep dark secrets. There is no Holy Grail. The reason that a successful trader will share with you is that there is nothing he can tell you...

Sounds like you have reached stage #4 Google: “Bo Yoder Stages of a trader” for the other stages.

Start with the traders you know and ask where they got their education. Knowing a successful trader is a bonus. Most will be quite willing to help if you ask. Take a week off work and watch as they trade.

Well you have it narrow it down. What is it you want to trade? Do you want to trade for a living? For yourself or for someone else? What are you expecting from a trading course? How much time and effort are you willing to put into a course and what do you hope the results of successfully...
