How Can You Tell If a Trading Mentor Actually Trades?

[Balletrist]

There are plenty of trading mentors online, but screenshots and testimonials don't necessarily prove much. What would you want to see before paying someone—live trading, a history of actual withdrawals, losing sessions, or something else? The guide argues that traders should verify mentors through dated payouts, live execution, and enough free content to observe their process over time.

The proof you listed is spot on, especially the dated withdrawals and live fills. I’d add that during a losing trade, watch if they cut risk or start making excuses. A real trader will also send you a trade log with timestamps you can match against the chart. For deeper verification, I’ve used a trading mentor guide that breaks down those six checks into a simple first-month trial plan—it’s helped me filter out the talkers fast.
