It might be possible to find your way to consistent profitability without a mentor, but a mentor who has already overcome the many hurdles and can point you in the right direction is an immense help, since life is short and capital is not unlimited.

I struggled along for several years, certain that I could figure it out by myself, and went broke several times. I paid a lot of money to subscription mentoring services that get their articles published in the trade magazines, but they only taught me bad habits and untestable methods. Finally I met an old-timer online who taught me (for free) a professional approach, and has coached me through many psychological and practical obstacles of implementing it.

For me it was true that "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear."
