Is anyone going to attempt Darkstar's contest to be mentored by him? I noticed he posted it on his commercial thread here at FF.

Anyway, I highly value mentorship and think it is one of the best ways for people to learn from others.

If you don't agree that mentorship is important, feel free to comment.

The intent of this thread is to let people know that there are mentorship opportunities around, and also to generate some discussion regarding people's personal experiences.

Successful traders rely heavily on their use of their tacit knowledge, that intuition and subconscious "know how" that is also very difficult to explain in a forum setting. Mentorship is a much more useful avenue for conveying knowledge and teaching others skills and the mindsets for any discipline.

Well, as far as I know Hippy already got some kind of mentoring from DS, it was included with the preorder of his selling book.

I didn't receive it, so if you want you can post in my thread
Just kidding man, I actually wanted to come here and let you guys know of the opportunity, I got the chance to talk with DS and he really helped me a lot in my trading, in a way you can't even imagine.

I hope you guys don't miss the chance, because I won't.

Well, I do have to add a correction here, I have not been mentored in the way that the contest suggests, or even spoke to Darkstar for that matter. However, I have read his book and think there are some useful insights regarding trading and orderflow.

Well, I think you guys just created a huge disadvantage for yourselfs.

The forum's gonna be flood with BS when half of FF will come over.

I actually thought of also participating in it, this is why I hoped the announcement will not be that much noticed. But you guys just destroyed it.

Anywayz, Good luck
Again, I didn't post this because I think people will add posts to people's threads, but rather to generate conversation about mentoring and to let people know of the free contest. I won't benefit from people coming to his site and adding threads. In all fairness, I have posted over there and directed people back to this site and others, where useful content is stored.

It's too late to call for a mentoring discussion when you clearly opened the thread to promote Darkstar's site (which belongs rather into the commerical section than here) and your own interests.

Yes, I'm pissed because I wanted to participate in the contest, but what I wrote above is still valid!

Would you been smart, you'd remain silent about this.

Good job Mr. Genius!
Well, its in the commercial section now bro. And yeah, it did promote his site and the mentoring contest AND increased competition, no hiding that. If you want to participate, you should, especially if you have insights to orderflow.
At the very least, a mentoring discussion should be easier being that there are more people viewing this thread.

yeah, just delete the thread, its causing way too much attention and shadyness. I can start a different thread in trading discussion about mentoring without any mention of DS
