Mentorship (4th year still not profitable)

d08 said:
Some might even say "if they are that good and been doing it for so long, why aren't they retired yet?". The only explanation is that they are old, wealthy, still trading actively AND are eager to teach just for the sake of teaching (money doesn't matter).

For example, I retired from the working world at 38. I started trading way before that though, and I'll continue to do so until that morning when I go face first into my pancakes! There's no way that I'll ever stop no matter how much I've made. Listen youngsters, after a certain age money means less and less. If you continue to trade, it's the thrill of winning, especially against the young ones with their AI, algos etc., that keeps you going. Additionally, I know that trading will keep me off the park bench trying to remember where I live! And if you are lucky enough to find someone who is really interested in learning to trade, it's quite fulfilling to help them and see them progress.

they train in-house staff and have alumni that go on to work in finance as analysts, traders and portfolio managers etc.
I don’t really give a shit, I was merely just saying they provide good base education for trading intraday.
I’m not really interested in what people think it may or may not be.

You presented it as if that bit of “education” was crucial to their professional success. I have no idea if they’re good or not, but I am certain that taking a course with them is not going to materially influence your chances of getting a real job in finance (especially a job with a pnl responsibility).
 
Sle, I have to give it to you. You have now twice taken what I typed and put your new meaning on it.
I never said that the education secures you or might increase your chance of getting a job in finance. I only shared the clients they have as way of endorsement of the quality and industry acknowledgement.
What I type and what you think I am inferring are two different things.
I only mean what I type, someones spin off of what I type. Sorry there were crossed wires on this.

I think the placement of past trainees who want to go on is pretty high. Most people on my course were very serious on getting jobs in finance or had worked in finance and wanted to go on to bigger institutions.
The flakes will always flake though.

"On MY course"?

I suppose you're suggesting everyone who are relatively new to trading don't know what they are doing and therefore their accounts will be depleted too fast, before they can learn anything. Fair point if that's what you meant.

No, its not.
 
Jesus- even when presented with good education routes to get started on the right path, people here still shit all over it, question the hell out of it and seem to be more than happy to NOT suggest anything better. Getting very tired of the noise.
 
it's interesting how you guys get riled up 'discussing' on the topic of mentorship. anyone else noticed that the op only posted twice in this now 19pg long thread :rolleyes:
