Trading Mentors Choose Not To Teach This...

Why mentors wouldn't teach something
In the typical mentor business model, we are currently divided. This split comes from those who keep things small and authentic on one side, and those who operate the complete opposite.
You see, no matter what someone may tell you, there is no feasible business model where you can be teaching thousands of students at once, with 100% of your capability (because that's what it would truly take to see profitability). Unfortunately, that is how the business model actually operates, and it works against the traders that try to use it.
So why wouldn't they teach something? Well simply for the fact it would take too much time. Don't think these mentors are doing it out of personal hatred for you, they're just trying to make a feasible business model out of a non feasible one. Meaning forcing as many students in the door and out faster.
This creates reports of almost 100% of traders that were once mentored missing vital info in some essential part of the field.
What do they specifically skip though...
The main thing that's either skipped, or very vaguely ran over is any form of psychology. You may think, oh well that's not so essential. Unfortunately, it is. It's almost everything outside of the strategy.
A trader with no psychological basis isn't a trader. It's just a person that knows some confluences, which means nothing in the grand scheme of things in trading. This is a process which can be taught, but would take far too long to do so. So what do they do instead?
Well, they streamline as much as possible, meaning they give you just about the basics to allow you to think you received value, when you didn't.
This may sound like a script thats fully against mentors. Well in this case, it is. I hate people who scam. Blatantly scam. Only because of the rebound effect it has on the rest of the industry. I think mentors are bad for trading as a whole, as its not a skill that can be taught fully, only partially. So then it cant have a price tag put on it. You get what I'm saying right.
The promise of the product is a lie, because it cant give you the value you need from it, and it will never give you that.
