Influence in trading is not bad if you are being influenced by the right person, a newbie trader who is being influenced or mentored by an experienced professional trader will not have regrets. Every new trader should know the type of trader that influences them in trading, if a newbie starts to follow the guidance of a fellow newbie who doesn't have sufficient experience in trading that means that trader is gambling his funds. Trading is a risky business that people need to learn very well, know the technical and fundamental analysis, learn not to rush into trading because you are in a hurry to make profit you will most likely lose everything.
