The problem with many trading mentors is whilst some can teach you good ways to read/trade the market, they can also transfer cognitive biases that are not relevant to you.
For example, a mentor might teach you a great pattern that repeats regularly and then say: “but don’t trade Fridays. I find it a really bad day for trading”.
If they neglect to tell you that Thursday nights they’re always out drinking with their mates, are hungover on Friday’s and can’t trade for shit, that’s totally irrelevant advice and it’s detrimental to your progress.
Obviously that’s a bit of an extreme example but hopefully you get my point.
Once again, we’re back to the power of your journal.

By all means listen to what people say. But test everything for yourself.
