adnan007 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Well, I have been trading in Forex for the past 3 years and till now have gained enough trading skills to trade without the help of any mentor. However, having a mentor does help to those traders who are new or don't have enough trading knowledge to trade in forex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flybiz08 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 I think the live mentor will be in the interest of the new fores trader because the interaction in this case is more conducive and the trader can actually view charts with full explanation and without internet hitches. Also, the live mentor can be easily reached than the online mentor where a trader has to send emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monyitomon Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I guess it will be equally fair it will just depend if that mentor is willing to teach you everything even in online if that mentor really wants you to learn, he will do everything to teach you but you should also do your part. So, as for me, both are okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â for newbie yes, the online mentor will help them alot when they trying to learn more about forex trading, it also help them to saves their time and efficiently make them more understand how to trading and also they could be get some tips and trading strategy from their mentor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monyitomon Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Indeed, it will be much easier for newbies if they have mentor whether it's offline or online. Me? I prefer learning everything on my own besides i have all the time, the internet has all the information we needed to learn and trade in Forex.

rexway Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 well you are right but one thing you need to know is that internet wont guide you through like a live mentor thou you can learn so many things from there(Internet) if you will say having both online and offline mentor then I will agree with you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 well you are right but one thing you need to know is that internet wont guide you through like a live mentor thou you can learn so many things from there(Internet) if you will say having both online and offline mentor then I will agree with you  but we must know also about one thing, that not all people can hire a mentor, the price of forex mentor is not cheap one, but i think for newbie who don't have too much money they can tried by visiting the good site which offer good forex content, but if you have good enough money you can try that live mentor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budado Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 You really don't need money to have a live mentor. In forex trading if you want to learn you must not going to pay. If you pay you don't learn. that's my rules in forex learning. Why do you think I say that? Because most of those who sell ebooks and teach online and charge are actually not good in trading. Beause if they do earn in trading they will not going to spend their time selling ebooks and teach to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riddick09 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 You can consult other traders for other confusions as other said no man is an island so you still need to have knowledge hints for better learning in forex. We have seen many traders that do the same which we just not only focus in demo as it is essential to ask for something particularly forex brokers also.

budado Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 90% of what I know or what I learn come from other forex traders. I can't say that they are the best but some little information they give I check it out and if I like it I adopt it. That's why its important that you talk to forex traders and be careful in listening to wanna be traders. Those who pretend they know how to trade but actually has no experience in trading and only read or base their post in other opinion. That's why its always better to check or try to review their post or advice also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlly007 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Both are okay with me.Though right now,online mentor will be more good for me becuase i don't have time for anyone to teach me for free.Online mentor is more preferable to me.If i can get access to both,it will be okay as well.But the fact still remains,we cannot rely entirely on these mentors,we need to teach ourself too by practising what we read or taught.

antthenait Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Though both are almost same but from my point of view online mentor is the best for assign any good prediction. If we use live support then we can get their exact position. But if we use their online mentor then they just share some previous track record with supportive documents. So we can take easy design.

andisatria Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I think we better have a mentor directly due to meet directly with the mentors we will better understand what is described by the mentor, and we can also ask a lot of things we still do not know to mentor us directly and will further shorten the time that we use to gain a good knowledge of mentors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syrine22 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Sincerely to me it isn't necessary we get to see the person we want to learn from before we learn.we could be making our mentors either online or live.we are expected to just be learning what they already know and if possible be better than them.

PROPENSITY100 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I think live mentor would be better but everyone is not fortunate enough to get access to a live expert face to face. So we can also take advantage of the online webinars and vast information about Forex on the net to learn Forex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaban Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I prefer to choose forex forums as my mentor. Because there are many traders who share their trading experience and i can learn from their experience to make my trading skill be better.

tirus Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I have to agree with you @propensity100 in that its not that easy for one to get access to a mentor on a one on one basis because we come from different parts of the world. With technology it makes even easier for traders to get access to an online mentor faster than they would offline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budado Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If theirs a live mentor then the better as I can ask question face to face. Sometimes on online transaction you can't teach other members how to trade since its hard to give instruction via chat. I do hope to find live or even online instructor. Although right now I'm earning online its still better to have some friends that I can compare notes and hope that we can succeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â it means you will have a lot of mentor there, one of them must be that forex forum member. it is a good thing for some people who don't have much money to hire private forex mentor, but the result actually depend on the trader it self, i see some people who learn from forex forum now have more chance to make more profit from forex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budado Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I think right now if I really want to be a successful forex trader I need to attend forex seminars. I know theirs some potential in forex trading but same time I just don't know if I really can earn good amount of money in forex or not. Because right now three of my accounts got MC after eight months of trading and earning profits. So I just feel surprise with what happen. But I think if I have some proper education I can actually be a successful forex trader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
