Forgive me if this sounds a bit harsh, but if I had the verifiable credentials to mentor someone why would I take a chance on tying up noticeable amounts of my time and effort on mentoring someone who may well not have the talent to succeed in this business.
Thats the problem with this industry.
People are buying the "laptop-at-the-beach" lifestyle first.
Also, there are no limits to entry.
Pretty much all other careers require some kind of proof of aptitude, whether it be a pilot, soldier, doctor, etc. There is no rejection of candidates to trading. (bit like university education nowadays. You used to have to prove your aptitude to be given free education, now anybody can join as long as you are willing to indebt yourself, buts that an entirely different rant.)
Also, a good trader doesnt automatically mean a good and patient teacher.
You could be a whizz trader, but poor educator. and vice versa.
So, we have good and capable student, or a bad student with money.
You also have either;
Good traders / good teachers.
Good traders / bad at teaching.
Bad traders / good teachers.
Bad traders / bad teachers.
Good student / good trader / good teacher.
Good student / good trader / bad teacher ....
etc
You do the maths!!!!
Hope you had a great week, and thumbs up for the next.
