Update on The 2 Months of Forex Mentoring

Posted by Nick 37

ADDITIONAL INFO – I am looking for a mentee who can read and  who has common sense. This post is an UPDATE to the original post! If you wish to apply for the mentoring please reply to the original post. Any responses to this post will not count and will be ignored.

Hey Guys,

I have to say I am completely overwhelmed with the response to yesterdays post. My last post was only made 18 hours ago and already 130 people have responded! I have never had so many comments to one of my posts. I really wish I could mentor everybody but that would be impossible.

Rainer made a post asking about a Skype conference call.

Hi Nick

a brief suggestion!
when you do your mentoring, I would be very interested as so much other, why isn’t is possible to do a conference Skype call and only one at the time can ask questions, if the listeners do not obey the rule you kick him/her out of the conf. call.
just a suggestion, because i as so much other would be very happy to be your guest.
thanks for considering.
the best
Rainer

On paper this sounds like a terrific idea but the truth is nothing really compares to one on one mentoring. Group sessions end up sucking and you cannot really build up a proper mentor to mentored realationship. Thanks for the suggestion but I have tried similar things before and it just doesn’t work.

Guys I have not picked a winner yet and wont until Friday this week so keep the comments coming to the previous post.

Believe it or not I have read all of the 130 or so comments. Here are some of my favourites so far:

MrPippin:
Pick me or I’ll punch you in the face.

Michelle Neisler:
HI Nick!
What a lovely offer! I think I’ll take you up on it!

You should pick me. Pick me! I’m a San Diego personal trainer, I’m tall, blonde, fast approaching 50 yrs of age and I am absolutely fabulous. I am fascinated by Forex trading. I love the volatility and the income possibilities that exist with trading currencies. I am looking forward to learning from you and expanding my horizons, not to mention my designer handbag collection!

Remember, pick me!

Cheers

vinomaker:
What a dream come true! I have been wanting a mentor for some time now. I believe what you think about comes about and my motto is “Thoughts Become Things, So Choose the Good Ones”. I have attracted this opportunity into my life as I continue to create my own reality each moment. I do not live in the past or future, I live NOW in this moment. I have the time, concentration, and desire.

There are a few more I like but I don’t want to list them all. We also have a ‘Moron Award’ to hand out. Despite my saying no sob stories some guy wrote this…..

Vinesh:
Hello Mr Nick,

I live in India and I hurt my back in a work catastrophe 9 month ago. I was told I am never to work in manual labour again. I have one son and my wife is pregnant with second child. If I cannot make money in Forex I must go to live in the street and my childs grow up homeless.

Please help me Mr Nick.

Bye

The funny thing is, this guy is not from India. I see all the IP addresses of people who leave posts. This guy is from Texas in the United States…… So Vinesh or whatever your real name is you have won the coveted Forex4Noobs Moron Award. By the way…. If you were selected for the mentoring oppurtunity how on Earth did you plan to fake a Indian accent for 2 months?

  • CJ

    yeah, the moron should be the winner.!!!
    hahaha so funny.

    I think i can fake the indian accent for 2 months….hmmm…
    i’ll leave a post as Vinesh_2 ;-)

    CJ.-

  • Marek

    Hey Nick … no offense noob, but you wrote “All you need to do is reply to this post and in 30 words or less tell me why you think you deserve to win. WARNING! be genuine I don’t want any sob stories!” … shouldn’t any entry over 30 words be disqualified from the word go … I could’ve written a long winded reply as well!!! (BTW … if I’m not mistaken, then you’ve already bumped this up to 30, it used to be 20 when I was posting)

    No offense to the two long winded favorites of yours … I’m sure they are fine people to mentor and I wish them all the pips they have ever dreamed off but they should be disqualified … I’m a noob just just like the rest of them and want to have an even chance at this!!!

    Great pick for the Mooron Award!!! ;-)

  • RaiderMan

    I took the 30 words to heart too. I thought it was a test about following directions.

    • NickB

      @RaiderMan:

      Guys I am not going to pick somebody with over 30 words I was just sharing my favourites. Those are just the ones which after reading stuck in my head.

  • London

    Vinesh, if your from Texas you’ve got more chance of becoming President. yee ha!!

  • Duncs

    Mr Pippin might threaten you with violence but I live where you are presently residing so if you don’t pick me I’ll find you and set up camp with a group of boring Morris dancers and drive you to distraction ,nightly outside your pad

    So pick me or else !!!

  • Kelly

    Just finding this website is like finding a diamond on a dungheap! Both video courses have helped me immensely. I hope you pick me, even though I am no more deserving than others. Yet as Hamlet says, “Use them {people} after your own honor and dignity. The less they deserve, the more merit is in your bounty.”

  • Mask

    Pick Me. I promise to mentor at least 2 noobs for 2 months when you are convinced i have learned all i can from you.
    :)

    Its just that simple !!!

  • Kartik

    Nick,
    I know its too hard to conference so many people, but is recording possible ?

    Just my thought…..

    Thanks,

  • Girang

    What a bunch of beggars….

  • Alps

    Nick, I’ve been trading for 10 months now and have bought many stupid systems in my early days with countless indicators and what not, only to see my account blow out a couple of times. this website has introduced me to price action which is all one needs to master forex and I am very grateful for it. Keep up the great work mate. Just like everyone else I am a 1000% committed to learning and benefitting greatly form the skype session and I’m sure we’ll have a blast.

  • Mike Reed

    Hi Nick, Have been studying Forex for 3 years every weekday after work,have read mountains of books, will not give in, something is missing– you mentoring me !

  • Gary

    This might hurt my cause in being picked but truthfully I need your help because you seem easier to understand than those who try to teach me before, but they charged a fee.Wasted my money. If you can teach me then you are a great mentor, I would be a challenge to teach, being a disabled Army Veteran. I use no indicaters, and want something simple so I can also teach other Veterans.Thanks for the opportunity

  • bmw_speeder

    Amigo, doesn’t look as though you’re overly concerned with the 30 Word limit. Does this mean we can write you a complete proposal? I believe we have a winning proposition for you! At least let us know if you are willing to hear us out.

  • Quattro

    yeah Nick I like the idea about paying it forward, the trader you choose should be required to mentor two of us and so on and so on, until we are all masters of your two methods.

  • oldgringo

    Do a chain reaction:
    do a one on two skype mentoring and then these two will do also a one on two mentoring to pay you back and so on.
    Need to do s test to ensure the students are not starting from scratch and have the right software

  • Andy Barnett

    Nick,

    The whiner from Texas Must be a immigrant. I am born and raised Texan, we don’t sob about our problems. We bust it at take care of them. Don’t let one cry baby give us a bad name

  • hajo

    If you train me I’ll be happy to train another and another looser to make our fx community better. Must be a fantastic feeling to hear from the looser that he finally makes money. This website and idea rock!

  • Helpless

    I am deaf and dumb and need as much help as possible?

  • JEFF

    Hi, Nick !

    About 2 years ago I started to study different trading methods. So far it wasn’t so great. I’d like to learn from master if it is possible.
    Thank you,Jeff.

  • Pete

    I don’t have much else to add to my proposal, except a promise I WONT click little check marks on to your whiteboard. ( I saw what happened to the guys who did! Whew!)

  • Saltmarsh

    OMG Vinesh! Praises to Nick for callin this idiot out and Im backin vinomaker!

  • ChrisW

    Hey Nick, I would be happy to be chosen and mentored. I will also promise to Pay It Forward when I’m mentored.

  • foot

    give vinesh to philip lol

  • CoG

    Hi Nick, I believe a good mentor would help inspire and keep the faith when the going gets rough. I think you could be a really good mentor – mentor me!

  • vinomaker

    Ask and it is Given. I Ask to be mentored by Nick.

    I will pass the gift on.

  • shaun

    Hi Nick,

    It would be interesting to film all this. A camera with you following you and what your doing( about your life) and another camera with your chosen student, following him. Track the progress and make a documentary. I would love to see a documentary about this. “Noobie to Ninja”. To see the changes it would make to someones life would be quite extraordinary, i think. Any way just a thought. I hope you choose me, obviously.

    Oh and a camera to follow Vinesh…….Legend!

  • vally

    Yeah, Michelle’s post was very memorable. It conjures up very funny images.

    Vinomaker, good quote from a book. Sounds you also read books like “Money and the Law of attraction”. But good that you’re applying it!

    Vinesh, you would have had to start seeing a lot of Bollywood movies to get that accent going!

  • FXSnipe

    Nick, the post by Vinesh is hilarious but my feeling is its going to be a bit diifcult to pick a mentee without a set of criteria , some have suggested that they will mentor other newbies, etc

    This is just a note to commend you on your effort to help those in need

  • muskrat

    Hi Nick every once in a while in this world a person comes along who is totally unselfish in their willingness to help others. For that I thank you. I want to learn from the chief ninja it would be an honour.

  • wrong blog

    This is soooo funny – I know someone is going to benefit from this training experience, but for everyone else the comedy value is great :D

    Guys – for a start, this is the wrong blog to post your ‘….and I never learnt to read….’ post – at least post it in the correct place!

    Thanks for doing this Nick – it is distracting to read through but has certainly brought a smile to my face :)

  • PS

    Nick, if you can fix my trading Climax, I’m willing to share pips with you upto 50% of my trading profits during your invaluable mentorship. I believe I can win

  • Clubber

    Nick,

    What if you simply recorded the sessions and posted them on your website. This would enable hundreds of people so watch from a third person’s perspective, not all, but most people will learn many things. You would not need to answer any questions about the videos nor would anyone expect you to. The people watching the videos will self study his or herself to become a great trader, those who become confused and can no longer follow the material will drop out. I predict that some people will not be able to follow your material but many will and these individuals will essentially learn the same thing they would have if you had selected them to mentor.

    This is just an idea and I appreciate any consideration you give it.

    My own business. No customers, no employees. My success is not dependent on the performance of others. Freedom to follow my dreams, and knowledge to contribute to others.

  • slimpippins

    yeah………. hello…….

    vinesh is obviously some practical joker with a sense of humor.

    So give it up all you sycophants.

    And yes, all your posts are that transparent
    All the info needed, is readily available on this site.

    I doubt very much if nick will be able to teach anyone who cant learn for themselves.

  • Thomas B

    Hi Nick,
    me, ThomasB was chosen by you as one of the mentorship winners. Unfortunately I haven’t heard from you since then, yet. I would be glad if we could start the skype sessions. Please send me an email. Thank you!
    Best regards
    Thomas
