Looking for mentor/chat

Seg I am a junior at the university of Maryland majoring in economics. I would like to think my writing style is well versed but easy to follow and understand but that is irrelevent. I was unable to get into the business school because my GPA is too low, part of that is because i was too busy trading my freshman year..... wasnt the smartest thing to do. I am not the best with math in a traditional academic respect. I am good with math in an applied approach (other than building fences to maximize the area...). I have taken several econ classes and psych classes, i actually maxed out psych classes for non psych majors. I am looking to add some computer science classes and STAT classes into the mix. I will be up front about this i HATE CALCULUS. I will repeat I HATE CALCULUS. The irony is i like trading derivatives :confused: I dont get it either. Transferring out of UMD is out of the question i will work with what is available to me here.

Hell if your still around in the winter Ill take your advice on some classes to take!

I think you are a hotshot for a 19 year old!
Are you planning on college at some point?
I would give you a job when you graduate.

lol Sarcasm aside, I do attend a local community college at night, but doubt I'd qualify for a job on wall st. I just love trading.

I can take sarcasm once in awhile though.

Just don't want to get off topic.

Brent has started his journal, will definately be interesting to follow the life of a fellow newbie trader, hopefully it will be easier than it was for me when I started.
 
Quote from Businessman:

I think you have a good chance of finding a discretionary trader
to help you, however i dont think you will find many system traders disclosing their systems to a stranger.

I fall in to the later, and see no reason to disclose my best
systems to anyone for nothing.

The risk doesnt match the reward

I understand that alot of successful traders( Mentors) prefer to have experience trader trade with them for a week or so for a price rather than take someone fom scratch . Have you heard of this?
 
brent, use "jack hershey, grob109, bubba7" (all the same person).

do searches for posts by this individual

use him as your mentor. (he doesn't post anymore, but the amount of work he has put up on ET will serve as a mentor bot).

you don't have to wind up trading the way he does, but you DO need to see how the market operates. I believe his approach SHOWS you how the market works.

there is more than enough written on ET about his methods to get you up to speed.

be industrious in your search
be thorough in your investigation...dismissing nothing without giving it due consideration first.

no mentor will charge you money. A real mentor gives freely to someone who they see trully wants to learn and will in turn pay it forward to others.

if you are of my mind you will see the efficacy of my words. I'm not speaking to the status quo.

I do not have any special skills to offer, nor years of experience in any field. My mentor would gain a lifelong friend and the satisfaction of knowing that they changed someones life. They would be able to realize that they gave a little bit back to the world for all their sucess. Here I sit at the computer trying to compose this message only to find myself deleting a line after I write it.

Sure it may sound like i am looking for something for nothing, if someone were to take there time to help me of course it would be my pleasure to give them whatever they saught in return.

every message on the board can be your "mentor". And believe me, they will change your life forever.
BTW, YOu con't need to bring anything to the table to receive... just take your time to read.
