Mentor Mode - How to Guide 10 Traders Without Losing Your Sanity
You're a profitable trader.
Now traders want to learn from you.
The problem: How do you mentor multiple people without it consuming your entire life?
The solution: TradeLyser Mentor Mode.
The Mentorship Challenge
Traditional Mentorship Pain Points
Reviewing one mentee takes:
- 2 hours to understand their trades
- Spreadsheets scattered everywhere
- Screenshots in WhatsApp
- Questions via phone calls
- No structure, no scalability
Result: Mentors burn out at 2-3 mentees
The Scalability Problem
If each mentee needs 2 hours/day:
- 1 mentee = 2 hours/day
- 3 mentees = 6 hours/day (full time job!)
- 5 mentees = impossible
- 10 mentees = forget it
Traditional mentorship doesn't scale.
What Is Mentor Mode?
Mentor Mode is TradeLyser's built-in mentorship platform that lets you:
✅ See all mentee trades automatically
✅ Review multiple traders in minutes
✅ Provide structured feedback
✅ Track progress systematically
✅ Scale to 10+ mentees
✅ Do it all in one platform
Time per mentee: 15-20 minutes/day (not 2 hours)

Handling Common Scenarios
Scenario #1: Mentee Breaking Rules
Detection: TradeLyser auto-alerts
Alert: "Priya broke 2 rules today"
Your action:
- Review trades (5 min)
- Identify why
- Send feedback immediately
- Schedule call if repeated
Message template:
Priya,
I see you broke your stop-loss rule twice today.
Trade 1: Moved stop from ₹2,450 to ₹2,420
Result: Extra -₹1,500 loss
Trade 2: No stop set at all
Result: -₹2,800 loss
This is concerning. We discussed this last week.
Question: What happened? Why did discipline break?
Call me tonight. We need to address this now.
Scenario #2: Mentee Losing Confidence
Detection: Losing streak, emotional scores low
Your response:
Rahul,
I see you're on a 4-trade losing streak.
But let me show you something:
Your trades were all valid A+ setups.
Your execution was correct.
Your risk management was perfect.
This is variance, not failure.
Remember:
- Your strategy: 62% long-term WR
- 4 losses in a row: Normal (happens every 60 trades)
- Your discipline: Still excellent
Keep following the process.
The results will come.
Take tomorrow off. Rest.
Come back Wednesday fresh.
You're doing fine.
Scenario #3: Mentee Overconfident
Detection: Win streak, increasing position sizes
Your action:
Priya,
Great 6-win streak! 🎉
But I'm concerned:
Your position sizes are creeping up:
- Week 1: 1.5% avg
- Week 2: 1.8% avg
- This week: 2.3% avg
This is overconfidence. I've seen it before.
It leads to:
1. One big loss wiping out gains
2. Blown accounts
Action: Back to 1.5% per trade. Starting now.
No negotiation on this.
