Curious what my fellow Myfxbook users think about this, I'm self-taught myself through some pretty painful trial and error. Sometimes I find myself thinking what my journey to profitability would have looked like if I had/could find a good resource to learn from, be it a book, mentor, videos, etc.
Probably wouldn't have copped such a big 'tuition' or 'learning fee' if I had xD

In trading, knowledge is power; in practice, patience is key.

I think with the right education and mentorship, traders absolutely have a better chance of success. Trial and error, while useful, can be costly. Learning from others' mistakes and experiences helps speed up the process of becoming profitable. That said, each trader's journey is different, and some level of personal experience (and mistakes) is inevitable. In the end, persistence and continuous learning are key. Have you found any specific resources that you wish you had discovered earlier in your journey?

Totally feel ya! Self-taught route is rough, but worthwhile. I believe that trial and error really sticks with you. A good resource or mentor would’ve definitely cut down on some of those painful lessons though. Still, it’s all part of the learning process tho. Found any good resources after the fact?

After going through that phase, I found a few solid resources like 'Trading in the Zone' by Mark Douglas and some technical analysis videos that really helped. Mentorship would've been ideal early on, but these resources have still been a great help. How about you? Found anything that's made a big difference?

GhostTradersFX posted:I don’t think it’s possible to find a mentor in this field in the classic sense—someone who will teach you how to make a profit. If they know how to earn well, they could just increase leverage or add working capital themselves, given the vast market liquidity. As for the basics, including algorithmic strategy development, there are plenty of resources for that—YouTube videos, books, webinars like those from HFM, and forum discussions, where useful insights occasionally pop up. In general, knowledge is gathered piece by piece.

Learning through trial and error is definitely a unique journey. Each mistake teaches a new lesson, but it also brings a level of risk and cost that could be minimized with the right resources. While books, webinars, and online courses provide solid foundational knowledge, the real value of mentorship lies in the practical, personalized insights that shorten the learning curve and offer clarity. By investing time in understanding proven strategies and effective risk management early on, traders can build a more solid and less stressful path toward consistent gains.
