One thing about mentorship which I keep telling traders is that you are basically paying to absorb the mentors trading style. If his/her style doesnt fit yours, this could become a conflict in the learning process.
That's a very important point James & the key to how (fast) a trader will develop, if at all.

In fact I'd go as far as to say that unless the trader-mentor relationship is in synch, the progress will be sluggish at best, virtually redundant at worst.

A mentor worth their salt will/should undertake a rigorous pre-training analysis before agreeing to an association. And one of the most important aspects of that informal assessment will revolve around the psychological make-up of the attendee.

That's where the trainee will 'fly or die'
