Does anyone mentor? (for a fee)

I have found that cost of seminars I went from $15k to free, made no matter regarding worth, if they bought to me ideas that were stepping stones in my knowledge, then they were worth the cost, only a couple were trash. I found 99% of the books I bought either didn't work, often times they were filler, and always were like missing a chapter.

You say that only a couple of the seminars were trash, but 99% of the books were worthless? I agree that there is scant little value to be had from how-to-trade vendors. But why would seminars be better than books on balance, as you are implying? Whatever kernels of value you may find, books tend to go into more detail, all else being equal. I've never taken a trading seminar, but I would imagine time constraints limit the amount of material that can be covered. So if you're looking for nuggets of value, you'll have less fodder to sift from at seminars, no? Not to mention that seminars are much more expensive.

Impressive, the intelligence on these forums is endless! You get out what you put in, if a mentor wants to sell you a service then how much do they make a year, $50k, that's the level of trading capability on offer. Like someone who generates 10%, 20% a month, has capital of $100,000s and above is ever going to show their statements. That's some funny weekend reading!

So how much is a strategy worth that can generate 15%-20% a month, for the math inept that's 250%-400% per year. This should be even better.

What does any of this have to do with the charts you posted and on which I commented?
 
Everything, but always find sarcasm to be much more beneficial than taking unintelligent comments seriously, which find funny as making money is about using intelligence more efficiently!

As that one confused you senseless this one should work even better https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/investing-in-apple-stock-a-good-idea.302445/#post-4325287 - plus you didn't answer what a strategy generating 15%-20% per month is worth, so presume nothing which is never a good sign, anyone else!

Well, aren't you special. Carnival charts and lofty pronouncements. Where do I sign?

I know, it's a little crazy....But, I figured I would ask.

Yes, I know if you had the golden goose, why would you?

I know, I'm gullible...But, I still had to ask. Maybe, just maybe, someone trades profitable and it a recluse and don't have family...So, maybe they would enjoy it?

Probably not though right?

I'm looking to day trade or swing trade US equities ONLY. Options are ok as well... You must be located in the states. It's too hard for me to get together with others outside of N. America (canada ok).

If you are serious, I need proof as in TD statements, black out your name and pertinent info, or wherever you trade. I cannot take your "word" for it because you could be a scammer....

I would prefer to speak to you on the phone.

I'm not a newbie, I'm familiar with platforms and different orders, etc.

I am willing to sign a non-disclosure.

I am open to ideas, suggestions. Heck, I will donate to your favorite charity in your name if you don't need the cash.

So, I know this is beyond a long shot but hey, nothing wrong with trying right? Maybe someone out there has a golden goose and is generous. Nothing wrong if no one does, I certainly understand that as well....

Respond via PM is the best way. Wise asses keep your comments to yourself please and thank you.....

I would seriously consider not using a mentor - There is a ton of free material out there such as 'Chat with Traders' where top notch traders reveal every thing you need to know - for free. Mentoring is being hyped by the many failed traders that prey on entry level traders - they promote a painless path to prosperity - don't believe it. Most mentors are probably like Mr. Haney -Green Acres. Some of these mentors are living in their mom's basement - for real!
