Aspiring Trader Looking for Answers..

Hi my name is Tyler McWilliams. I'm 19 years of age and I have been studying the markets for roughly 6 months. Ive foolishly started with 500 on a scottrade account after only 1 week of market studies, losing it all within a month, but I have had episodes of profit. I have restlessly studied technical analysis and strategies as well as business philosophy. I have no intention of relent, and will become a successful trader one day. But I feel as though a Mentor would be my next step in my journey to find the Holy Grail. Any advice, tips, hints?

If you do an advanced search on the TL forum (key: "mentor") you will find several threads discussing mentors and mentorship.... what's good, what's not, what to look for. There is also some discussion that defines the relationship between the mentor and the mentored.

I'll give you a very very big tip/hint: Master position sizing/risk management either through my website or get the Van Tharp book which is supposedly a rare find these days. I find it on Amazon sometimes for $80-300

 

But that's just one huge piece of the puzzle. Feel free to ask ?'s :)

There are many forex gurus out there, you can find them on sites like etoro.com, but before you go on looking for s guru, why

Don’t you take out time to further your knowledge about forex and create a personal trading system? After

Which you can start with a micro account on either oanda or Profiforex, this way you will not need to

Invest much, but will still have a feel of what the real market looks like.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
