Actually, you can learn trading by yourself as there are a lot of tutorials online but that was good and easier if there is someone who can teach you. A reason why we have mentorship, some traders asking help from their friends, or even from strangers. But the problem is that they are also asking for fees. Well, I don't bother to pay for that if I also benefiting from it and has a positive result.
There are many ways to learn anything. In fact, you only have to choose whether you have enough discipline to learn yourself or whether you should resort to the help of an experienced specialist in this matter.
Personally, I like the choice of the teacher much more, since it is the teacher who is able to quickly and efficiently transfer his knowledge to the student. This path seems to me much faster than my own trial and error.
Depends into someones preference but if you do need to pay up premium for such mentorship then I don't see for it to be worth but if you do spend up only a few bucks
then you can test it out and I agree into the point that it is much better when someone do guide you and at the same time you do make your own self-learn.
This will fasten out the process even more for you to learn but there are people who do just choose to learn by themselves without needing any mentors or
teachers in regards to this since most of information you can seek is already in the net.
Its up on you on how you gonna effort on trying to learn up yourself along the way.
