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.
The issue am always having with getting influenced by someone is that you don’t know maybe they are just beginner like you, or maybe they are professional traders. When you meet people online, some of them do post about their wins in trading, which will make you believe they are professional traders, and you will think you can learn from them, but most of the proofs which they will be posting doesn’t even belong to them, but you won’t know they are just deceiving you.
If you are into trading, the best thing to do is just to do your research, make sure you learn to do analysis yourself, and never depend on anyone, because it doesn’t always end well, you shouldn’t wait for other people’s decision to know when you going to enter a trade, and the coin which you going to buy.
