Develop you trade method and
then find someone to trade with in the Joliet area. Trading with another person (in person) in the same home office may be just as helpful as using a mentor even though the other person in the office is not there to mentor you.
Its just a way to help yourself into to following your trading plan which is what most traders have problems with. Also, you will not have to pay for it and may even result in sharing office expenses...saving you money.
Also, why look for someone in the Chicago area when you're located in Joliet area ???
That's a tough commute to/from the Chicago area from Joliet.
P.S. A guy near the Joliet area posted a Youtube video a few years back showing his state of the art trading office remodeled into his basement. He was looking for a person to share office expenses.
I don't remember the name of the video nor the specific city near Joliet. May be worth your time to research it and then look him up. He was
not a mentor and seem to be just looking for a trading pal to split expenses but willing to share what he knows as long as it was mutual.
