You know, it’s okay to get influenced especially if it comes from a professional trader. But the bad thing is, if you keep relying your trading moves and decisions from that person, you will never learned on your own, and you will never be a reliable trader in the long run.
Trading is all about application of your knowledge and skills, and even strategic strategies, so being dependent on the person who influenced you will never do good at all. Instead, DYOR and maximize your efforts when trading. After all, you will be the one to benefit your good trading performance in the long run.
