You onto necessary need to have a mentor in trading but if one is able to get one then good, I think trading is more about willingness to learn. People find trading difficult not because they no mentor but it is because they find it very difficult to learn.
Not all traders need to be accompanied by a mentor in trading activities, I mean they can learn and practice it themselves. Having a mentor will only make it more difficult for the trader to achieve independence due to dependence, but the willingness to learn and the courage to take risks will make the trader more experienced and carry out his trading activities. Moreover, mentors are not always helpful, they have their own things to do instead of always being there for us.
Going into trading without having knowledge is very risky, not having knowledge about trading their are bigger chances to lose all your money in trading. Trading without knowledge if time is not taking you may not even have anything as luck because you don't even know what you are doing, which I think trading is even more risky than gambling for those who don't have any knowledge of trading.
Making profit in trading is very possible to achieve with learning but some people feels it is what they can go into with but their are more o know about trading and it can be achieved by learning.
Trading does not require really in-depth knowledge, meaning that basic knowledge is enough to start trading. Over time, knowledge will increase, especially if the trader learns while practicing trading directly. So I don't always recommend that there must be a mentor, but the courage and willingness to learn from a trader must be there. They can learn using various methods, it is available everywhere and can be obtained for free.
