Its not about needing a mentor. I'd like to have one, though. Anybody on the floor at the CBOT or CBOE?

I'm not waiting on a mentor - it would absolutely help. I do have the burning desire to succeed.

It didn't go in one ear out the other. I'd like to follow with his advice on what a mentor can show me and then utilize that advice to put it to work for myself. Yes, I understand it is not necessary but can definitely decrease the learning curve time and help me put in perspective what to...

Anybody here willing to train me? To put me in the right direction of learning. Not to give me strategies etc

Anybody work on the floor in Chicago? Or in office around here?

Any other replies or thoughts to say on an interview/letter. How would you explain your desire, skills, etc

Great advice! I do understand that even with a mentor there is more to it. I feel it would greatly benefit me.

I've devoted a good amount of time over the years. Mostly was on my own at the beginning and did not have a clue on anything. I still jumped in and made it happen. I did fairly well at times. I think if I had a mentor or someone who can clarify what I am looking at to find what I'm looking for...

That makes sense. Showing someone what to do and them knowing how to apply it is two different things. Let's hear some more responses...

I'm not a kid. I know money makes the world turn and the chances someone training me for free is a pipe dream. I get it. I have lived a life that I've learned a lot from. Believe me on this...

If that is truly the case, I can make it. I've hit rock bottom emotionally many times in life. I do believe I have the mental ability to succeed.

Nothing in life is free. Trust me, I know this very well. More so of an understanding and agreement of how we can both be beneficial to each other. For example, if I was a successful trader and have the ability to make a great amount from the markets. For me, I would not ask for money. It...

In regards to 3 and 4... Is that true, 10 minutes and they can teach you how to trade successfully? I have no problem working for someone for free who will teach me and will absolutely work hard as if I'm making a lot. Not work that shows its free, you won't get that from me. One thing...

I don't mind exceptionally hard work. I'd like to be able to train for a good amount of time to have the ability to understand and read the charts. To know what I'm looking at so I know what I'm looking for. As far as funds, it all depends on what I can learn and take in. Its not about funding...

I like it ! Anybody else? Anything you would add or take out? Anybody with experience with the hiring process and what are quality points they look for and that stands out in a resume/cover letter.

I'm in the Chicago area. I'd love to be able to sit with someone a few days a week and learn. Be a sort of assistant for research, etc. I would like the more hands on training approach. That would be great and much appreciated. Seems like striving on my own would only make it that much more...

Depends on the training. But I'd love that idea

Honestly, Yes and No. No, I'm not fishing for answers but more trying to get an understanding of the mind set one has to have to think they have the ability to succeed in this industry. Since it has such a high failure rate. I'm trying to get a feel for all of that .... Thank you

Would you write that on paper to submit? Or just something you would verbally say?

If you felt you had what it takes to be a trader or a position within this industry. How would you explain your skills, desire, qualifications, etc. to obtain a certain position. If I was to hire someone ... Tell me what you have to offer, why should it be you? Not about track records or...
