A little background: I've traded/studied the technical part of trading (FX/Commodities) for almost 4 years every single day, testing out new ideas, analyzing, logging down, backtesting etc however hundreds of system and patterns that I come out with just stop working. It might work for 3-5 years on backtesting, if I put it onto another pair it stops. Or it might only work for a certain period of time. I am from the little red dot.
You'll find many successful traders say it's taken them well over a decade to the achieve their desired results. You should already know this if you were doing actual due diligence and research on this field and performance results.
I am looking for a mentor to guide as well as teach day in day out.
I'm sure all of us would have LOVED to have a successful mentor to help show the way. The reality is they have ZERO reason to spend their time helping you, when they have already paid their dues in years of toiling for a working method.
I will not and never give out your systems or strategies.
Are you listening to yourself?
Why on Earth would anyone trust a stranger on the net with information gained only by blood, sweat, and many tears? Anyone being given any special info would be all the more likely to spill the beans since they didn't have to go through the time and pain of developing it.
I am willing to work 20 hours a day or do anything that helps me towards achieving profitability.
That means nothing to a successful trader who has already put in the work- it's assumed you already are putting in crazy hours to learn.
I am willing and desperate to sacrifice anything in return for trading success (Even my life). Flying over to your country to learn is also fine with me. I do not know what I can give in return but I hope my willingness to succeed can make up for it because I will never give up.
So if anyone that has already succeeded and looking for a student to impart your knowledge, please do tell me, I may not be the brightest but I will make it up with hard work, I will make sure it will be a good decision and you will never regret it.
Thank you.
A key aspect of those who succeed is having persistence- sticking with learning regardless of the number of failures experienced. You are basically throwing in the towel and pleading for help - that's a bad sign.
Sacrificing your life?
Again are you listening to what you're saying- what good is learning how to trade if it comes at the cost of your life? That reeks of emotional desperation. Trading is not for everyone and at some point you either succeed, or move on to greener fields.
You haven't even considered what you would give in return. Willingness to succeed? That would barely work in a real job interview. If it took you 15 long years to figure out how to trade, what could someone offer you to have you spend time as a tutor teaching them and potentially compromising your own system?
The key is figuring out a "generic" system that can be tailored for the current market that can deal with market changes- not some "holy grail" static system that aces all back testing. You need to have leaps of intuition and I think some luck with careful observation to spot recurring natural patterns of support and resistance that you can form your system around.
Look at the stats- over 90% of those who try don't succeed. Either you can beat the odds and make it on your own, or if lucky, you have a relative/friend who might assist in guiding you. You can't expect a stranger to help teach you what cost them so much of their own personal sacrifice.
