Hi guys,
I have seen many posts saying they were guided by a professional trader or they knew someone who was guided by a professional trader ..
How to find someone like investment professional to teach ?
Did you guys pay for this or did you know someone already ?
Thank you
You have the right idea:
Be around winners who know how to win right now! This is your best chance.
_______
Paid gurus-for-hire is rarely the way. Many won years ago but can not win now and some never won.
Also..many prop firms have busted traders who owe the firm money teaching what they can not do.
The winners at the firm are often not so helpful because edges end and why hasten their end, especially if they have a relatively easy and big one.
If you find a real winner at a prop firm, see if you can take him out to lunch and chat-- ask to be his assistant / gopher.
A guy like this can help you understand most of the bases quicker than you think: costs, execution, platform, what and how to automate, risk control, how to get the best deal, how to procees information quickly and fire, dealing with losing streaks, and so on.
Notice I have not yet mentioned finding and edge, which of course you will need; however, many peripherals are important.
Edges can be hard to find, edges end or morph; so a mentor can help you here.
I have seen beginners become consistent winners their first week when the right edge was shown to them but this happens and less as the game toughens up do to technology and faster information flow.
* this is not about finding the right system and milking it for never ending money for the rest of your life.
