a) finding a mentor that
# knows how to guide people without forcing sth upon them
# is not a fraud
b) personal preference
I guess.
I personally never wanted/looked for a mentor, as I understood relatively early, that ultimately I have to find/develop/alter the system that really suits me on my own and moreover need to control myself psychologically, anyways.
But I have always been the type of person who prefered self-education.
For some it might be better to find a mentor, I guess.
I looked for a mentor when I first started. All I found were people wanting to sell me systems. I had one guy who was only going to charge me a daily rate. Set me up with software so he could direct me in real time how to trade ES. Day one we broke even and when I asked how much he made trading he said he didn’t trade. End of relationship.
You shouldn’t expect a mentor to show you a method. You should expect a mentor to guide you through the process of finding and developing a system that suites you. Too many people are looking to copy a method that may not be appropriate for them.

I'm for sure on step 19, but do fall in line with some of the higher steps. I haven't really paid that much tuition or donations. I'm done going in circles and realize I'm always going to be learning. I've been humbled and know I will be humbled some more down the road. Something so simplistic that I've twisted and made it more complicated than it needs to be.
I think I'm around 15-20 but not sure. I only know that I'm past step 14 and haven't quit. I've also realized that it's something that I want to keep doing.
I am at level 19-21. Recently watching the video record of my trades I had the feeling that the success is in me, because nobody else can control the execution. But its not the belief yet, just a feeling.
