I’m curious, does mentorship imply sharing one’s edge? In other words , to be profitable you need an edge. If you don’t reveal your edge, is mentorship going to be too generic just like books?
I understand mentoring as someone who would look at your current way of trading and would suggest improvements. They should be experienced enough to see your trading plan and push you further.
They wouldn't recommend a specific strategy, and if they have an edge they might disclose it along the process but not explicitly.
You are not looking for someone to tell you how to trade, you are looking for someone to give you a challenge in order to understand trading. Strategies will come after that knowledge.
At least that is how I see it.
