Hi,
First I would like to mention that I am french canadian... So sorry for my english, it is not the best :P.
I am looking for a mentor, I dont think that I would be very needy but I guess I need some guideline on trading strategy. I have been studying the stock market (fundamental) for the past 3 years, I made some money ( nothing incredible) but over time my passion grew a lot and I kept looking for information. The more information I found...The more I wanted to know about everything. And in the mean time I knew I was going to do something good with all that knowlodge so I saved as much as I could so I could invest and make my way to be financially independant.
When I realized that I was waking up at 5:00 in the morning so I can have an extra 2 hours of studying and charting before I go to work... I decided I should make a career out of it. If you dont need to snooze in the morning to go do what you have to do... I guess it mean you are enjoying what you do.
After that 3 years of studying fundamental and my realisation of making a career out of it, I started to look a technical analysis... Fundamental was not close to get me out of my job any time soon. So I spended the last 4 month looking at everything I could on technical analysis. At this point, I know some about a lot... I know all the oscillator and indicator, I know by heart all the harmonic pattern and candle stick pattern, I love the moving average and my favorite of all so far is elliot wave ( during live sessions I have a hard time to figured out where I am in the counts).
I made few strategy and tryed to work them but...The result were not so good so far... I kind of doubt them now and I realised I need guidance outside of book, movie and self education....
I have a hard time with :
- Finding a good broker, I like forex because it is 24 hrs a day during the week and it work well with my work schedule... But all the broker ( base on numerous hours of research) seem to be taking advantage or screwing people at some point...
- Getting a strategy that actually work consistantly ( I understand I will never be perfect)
- How to make a realistic plan in order to get out of my job and make a living with trading.
- It might sound stupid but I really feel alone.... I stopped talking about investment and money because my friend, co-worker and family think I am odd.... I have a really good job...So my co-worker and friend think I am stupid to look for anything else... My family want my well-beeing so they dont want me to take any risk in anything. So I have nobody to turn to when I doubt, when I have exciting idea or whenever I read something awesome and feel like telling the entire world...
This is why I am looking for a mentor or someone with guidance that can help me.
Thank you very much
Dom
