#Subreddit Rules:

##1 - No off-subreddit discussion (soliciting for DMs,) or promotion of your trader group or chatroom.

Comments must be related to the question. No attempts to take the discussion off the subreddit are allowed (via PM, 3rd party chatroom, etc.)

No posts promoting your 3rd party trader group or chatroom.

This is a zero tolerance rules, and will result in a perma-ban without the option to appeal.

##2 - No external links or mentions to video sites (YouTube, etc.) Videos must use Reddit Video embeds.

Posts to video sites, including YouTube, are barred.

This includes direct links, and recommendations to watch a video, or a description of how to get to the video ("look up so-and-so on youtube, thank me later")

If you want to post your own content here, you can do so using Reddit Video embeds, so long as the video does not include mentions of external sites (calling out your social media / YouTube accounts.)

This is a zero tolerance rule, and you risk a perma-ban for not following it.

##3 - No Promotional Activity or Advertisements

Do not self promote here. Doing so risks your brand being blacklisted by our spam filters.

Any promotional activity will result in a ban. You will have limited ability to appeal.

##4 - No Promotion / Linking / Mentioning of your Social Media (IG, FB, Twitter, etc..) Accounts

This goes along with the rule about not taking the conversation off-site. Dropping your IG link will get you banned. Period.

##5 - If you post a chart setup or trade idea. (Post Requirements)

You must be willing to explain your analysis and reasoning for any given chart or trade you post, or else the post will be taken down.

Empty charts without annotations are useless.

Subjective reasons for a trade do not help others learn or understand what you are doing.

Provide practical and tangible reasons for your trade / chart setup so people can follow along with you.

##6 - No Signals / Signals Promotion

This falls under the posting charts rule where you must provide a detailed overview and context to your trade, but specifically singles out the posting of trade 'signals' with any commercial intent.

##7 - Keep It Professional and Friendly!

No insults or attacks of any kind. Abusive posters will be banned. We don't care if they called you names first; report the abuse to us and we will deal with the offending party (getting into a name calling spat will likely just get all parties involved banned.)

##8 - No Gain / Loss (P/L) Porn

We don't care how much money you made or lost. Context is everything, and risk metrics matter. Do not post your P/L Porn here unless you're prepared to give a detailed account of your strategy and all factors that went into generating said P/L.

##9 - NO CRYPTO - We are not a crypto sub.

There are a plethora of subs devoted crypto topics. We are not one of them.

This sub deals with fiat currencies backed by governments.

Even if your forex broker offers Crypto CFDs, it is still considered off-topic here.

##10 - MEMEs are for weekends only!

General idea: Business during the week, party on the weekend. MEMEs posted during the week will be removed, and MEMEs posted on the weekends will stay up but may be removed once Monday starts.

When is the weekend? from 4:30PM EST Friday, to 4:30 EST Sunday.

The ONLY exception is bank holidays when markets are either closed or illiquid with little trading activity.

##11 - Mods can remove posts, comments, or ban users at their discretion. Do not argue with mod decisions.

Even if no rule was technically violated. The mods reserve the right to scrub posts, comments, and users from the subreddit in the spirit of keeping the community clean and without bias.
