That's right, the best way to learn trading is by doing the actually of it. Many have been trying to do it think that they need to read bunch of books before becoming successful with it. We're not invalidating that, it's important to have knowledge before trading and don't ignore those books that they've read if they're helpful. Some may think they need a mentor to become better, that's also another one and depending if the mentor is an actual trader. Because many of these mentors are playing the role of it and only teaches the basic when they only earn from the students.
Yeah. Some mentors only show up to earn money from the student, although one thing I believe in is the fact that someone who is not a profitable trader can not come online and claim he’s a trader. Some people are influencing some other traders, and some beginner traders think those people are also traders, which they are not; they are just influencers.
After giving them money, you won’t learn anything from them, and that is why sometimes looking for a mentor for trading could be another risk. However, I can recommend someone to read some books to have the fundamental knowledge of trading, then look for another way of trading, but using the knowledge you got from a book as a beginner to enter a trade could be very risky.
