Since strategy are always changing in trading, what is the relevance of experience? Who would you trust the most for trading tips,
An old trader who has had better days and mostly still relevant because they have a strong reputation for the fact that he has been trading for a while, or would you trust a new trader who is hot in the market and fresh with new strategies?
It's really up to you to decide, I don't think there is one trader even with experience in his hands, can predict where the price is going, thus making money in trading.
And it's better to trust yourself though, I mean if you are a newbie then definitely it's be better if you have some mentoring, but not necessarily. So you can do by yourself and then get the experience needed as a trader. You might want to to go to that pains and gains processes and it will be better for you.
