Can anyone teach me trading?

The amount of waiting & amount of paying is infinite when it comes to mentors.

Better to start on your own, right here :

Sorry Snoopy, I ain't giving him a pass. He got lucky.

Gotta admit he has had a pretty long lucky streak. At any rate I didn't expect you to change what you're doing now. Why change what's working.

That text in blue, man, that story.
(don't know how true it is, but say it is)

To sit next to a guy like that, with coffee, exchanging stories about struggle ect, while looking at the horizon.

And then like :

,, Yeah... (deep breath) ''

& Continuing conversation about future conquests.

Just long any stock ever and you are golden.

"The leader in the $1,000,000+ stock division after six months is Mark Minervini, + 223.4%."

Appears to be a bit more to his trading than "long any stock".

Green is not your color

Yep, found it. What a fucking genius. Just long any stock ever and you are golden.

Brilliant. We don't need to pay 12K per year to know this. Long anything in a bull market and you are a millionaire.

Buy after a 30% drop and you are so wealthy you just burn the money in yer fireplace.

Sorry man. If the guy is so wealthy, why is he charging 12K per year for a buy and hold strategy?

Help me out...

Which Market Wizards were you in???

Your logic matches your ability to run a simple Google search

You have to put up your own money in a poker tournament as well. Putting up own money means nothing, because everyone in the competition is putting up their own money.

Just like real life. We all are putting up our own money when we trade. Big deal. Means nothing.

Sorry Snoopy, I ain't giving him a pass. He got lucky.

Hi
Not sure if I'm posting in right forum. I am a newbie to trading. Am into scalping nasdaq. I'm looking for someone to be my trading buddy or mentor. Am based in Central London. Please get in touch.

Hi, if you call yourself a newbie don't do scalping, that is a field for more experienced traders. Many have said that is almost impossible to be profitable doing scalping in the long run, so don't bind yourself to failure.

Unfortunately there are many "mentors" out there that will be keen to get your money. As an example you have been introduced that guy "Minervi". Think about what he is doing before giving away your money.
Traders that run a trading room do it for one reason only, they know that after they send their trades they will have every single one in that room doing the same, forcing a small trading pool, hoping to push the price into that direction they entered in the first place. You would love everyone to do exactly the same you do, right after you do it, so you are the first in the queue. You can find the same technique in "copy trading", just another form of trading pools.

You will be much better asking for reading materials on the usual topics that are related to trading. As you have been told already you can teach yourself if you have the right discipline. Here in this forum, the guys are great at giving advise on many topics, so you are much better asking or searching for anything you would like to learn.

If they are making fun of your post is because you are asking the wrong questions in the first place.

I am based in London as well if you need anything.

Between 9K to 12K per year for his services? AHAHH!

Yep. Best investment someone new to trading will ever find!

OP, just learn it yourself. The only person who can teach yourself how to trade is you. All these other charlatans can provide only guidance. And you do not need to spend upwards of 12K per year to learn THAT.

%%
Could spend invest that on books+ charts;
better to start smaller + free library cards may help.....................................................
