If you are looking forward to learning how to trade as a beginner then I'd suggest you avoid YouTube videos because they would only end up confusing you. Although there are people that Still learning from this medium but it doesn't mean that you will everyone would be able to comprehend the same way. If you are still below the intermediate stage then you should focus on pdf materials so you can learn the terms first
Okay of you, not all YouTuber can explain properly. Frankly, I benefited more than YouTube, when I was interested in learning trading. Then I started with help on YouTube. The beginning is a little complicated, but later I got good fruitful and the help of my older brothers was fairly done in the trading. However, I will suggest learning from the Trading Institute rather than YouTube. Because there is the most taught by practicing there. And anyone can learn trading very easily. But I won't say bad to all the YouTuber. Because I learned to be trading from YouTube myself.
We can be learning trading on so many platforms online and YouTube is one of them that could help us understand more about trading. Getting a mentor is not something we have to go online and look for someone that could fit in to that space.
Before we make someone a trading mentor, at least the person should have impacted positively in our lives to the extend of having a good reason for making that person a mentor. We keep leaning to know more with time!
Trading mentor maybe nessesary for those who aren't comfortable learning online but if one is willing to learn he can still learn with the free material available online.
However whether anyone learn online or offline, the most important thing is how you trade when you really trade. It is not only about trading but also it is about emotions. How will you react once you win in trade and what is your reaction on your losses, that will become better only with experience. It's also a phycology and emotional control that needs to be learnt apart from trading itself.
But perhaps if you are resourceful, you might find a lot of videos in YT that can help you out. Or as what most of us do before, we uses a demo account to just to know how to trade and learn everything from scratch.
And there could be what most of the successful traders did in the beginning. Demo account before venturing to real life trading. Of course it's not going to be a perfect and smooth transition. You might faces roadblocks, but a long the way, you should have learn something and improved every day. So instead of hiring someone to mentor you out, just do everything with yourself and for sure the hardship will all be worth it in the future.
