What do you do and what is your success recorded, do you follow your mentor's guidelines and advice?
Do you follow your instincts and if yes what are the results you got in terms of the profits ratio against the loss ratio?
One thing is learning and another is following guidelines, just as when you get a product you read through the guidelines on how to make use of that product, but so many investors always neglect that and go straight to taking every decisions that comes to their mind. Most times i follow guidelines but in rare cases I follow my instincts looking at how the markets goes and it sure turn out well but it's best to stick to mentorship and advice.
Yes, having a mentor will of course speed us up in gaining insight or knowledge quickly, but this does not mean that what they teach is accurate or successful in various ways in every market situation. Therefore, it is important for us not only to rely on guides or mentors, but also for us to continue to learn independently or combine every indicator that has been taught before. Yes, of course every trader has a different style, some are successful and not necessarily suitable for us, and it is much better for us to determine our own trading style than to follow other people.
