There are so many videos that talk about trading, first you need to download " the candle stick bible" the candle sticks Bible will help you to understand the market and it will serve as a guide. Then download the meta trader 4 or 5 get acquainted with it, also there are people all around you that knows the market, also it is not also too good to come and be advertising that you are looking for mentors on trading, they may easily scam you. So my advice is to be careful out here because some may render help and scam you.
As beginners these are all the tools you need to start your journey, the mistake most of them make is that they go online Youtube especially to learn how to start trading without learning the basic things, this is why some of them end up getting confused...if you don't familiarize yourself with some certain things you need to stay away from YouTube videos and more importantly stay away from trading mentors
Yes, that's good advice. I think having a mentor will actually make you less independent in your trading activities because you'll be dependent on your mentor. So, it's better to learn on your own. There are many ways to learn trading for free, especially since access to learning is so easy these days. Furthermore, you're fortunate to be on this forum because you can discuss and ask questions, which will make it easier to understand than reading and listening to articles or YouTube.
If you utilize the Bitcointalk forum well, I think you can trade without a mentor. You just need to read frequently and participate in discussions. Change your mindset. Trading doesn't always require a mentor; you can do it on your own as long as you have the will to continue learning.
