New to the forex world, looking for mentor

Hi guys,

I have been looking into forex perhaps close to 6mths, but I guess some of the comments in this forums are right. It would be best to find a mentor who can give advise. Is anyone willing to help maybe in the form of instant messaging form of communication?

I could help if your using a EA.

hello is this a form of an automation?

@currypig

If you haven't already done so, go to babypips.com and click on the 'Start learning' button or 'School' tab.
It will bring you up to speed on the general knowledge for retail forex trading. Even today I find interesting things to read there.

I wish I had come across it at first instead of stumbling my way through and learning from a mentor. If you are adamant about finding a tutor, make sure the guy shows you his trading statement first. Too many unqualified people feel compelled to tell other people what to do with what little knowledge they have. Heck, look at what I'M doing right now.

And unless he is your personal friend, always bear in mind that the value of his mentoring extends as far as what he can get out from you, otherwise it's a massive time-sink for him.

All said, you will blow your first real money trading account. Start small but not too small such that it does hurt when you do.
Hahaha... hahaha.. Guahahahahahahahaha.... back to work. :(

It's the delirium talking. Been at the desk for too many hours. I can't see the screen for the pixels. The only vitamin D I'm getting is from my monitors. I do not use hotkeys as I fall on my keyboard frequently.

All facetiousness aside, and apologies if I came across flippant in the previous post, take your time to learn about trading. Don't rush things, you are training to become a surgeon and it takes years to become a competent one. Buy malpractice insurance. Get the comprehensive plan.

you guys add me on skype : ral.ozoms

cheers

sure thing thanks a lot for the advice man, btw what is EA?

Well I am done with babypips, though there are still things there for me to learn... I guess its kind of hard to find a good mentor then..

I can help if your interested in learning how to truly trade manual and learn to do it right.

EA stands for Expert Advisor if I'm not mistaken.
