House rules

Six rules, enforced the same way for everyone.

They are pinned at the top of the group and you agree to them when you join. If any of them sound annoying, this is probably not the group for you, and that is fine.

The rules

  1. No signals presented as advice

    Share your plan and your reasoning. Do not post entries, stops and targets for other people to copy, and do not ask for them.

    Why
    A signal tells someone what to do without telling them why. Nobody in this group knows your account, your plan or what you can afford to lose.
    If it is broken
    The post is removed and you get a note explaining why. Repeated, a 24-hour mute.
  2. No hype

    No profit screenshots, no 'easy money', no countdowns, no rocket talk. Describe what you did, not how rich it made you.

    Why
    Hype pulls people into trades they have not planned. One bragging screenshot does more harm than a week of good notes undo.
    If it is broken
    Removed without discussion. Promotional accounts are removed from the group.
  3. No copy-trading, no account management

    Nobody here trades for you, manages your account or offers to. Do not offer it and do not accept it if someone messages you privately.

    Why
    It is the most common route to people losing money they cannot afford to lose, and the most common scam in trading groups.
    If it is broken
    Immediate removal. Report private messages to a moderator; we will never message you first.
  4. Disagree with the idea, not the person

    Challenge reasoning with reasoning. If a thread gets heated, take it to the 'Ask the desk' topic or let a moderator close it.

    Why
    The group is useful because people say what they actually think. That only lasts if nobody is punished for being wrong.
    If it is broken
    A moderator steps in publicly, then privately. Personal attacks are removed.
  5. Keep it on topic

    Markets, plans, process and the calendar. No unrelated links, no other groups, no referral codes.

    Why
    Structure, not noise. A member opening the group at 06:30 should find the desk note, not a crypto giveaway.
    If it is broken
    Removed. Links to other groups or referral codes mean removal from the group.
  6. Losses are welcome here

    Post the trade that went wrong. Say what you would do differently. Nobody mocks a loss.

    Why
    Members learn more from a loss reviewed honestly than from any win. A group that hides losses teaches nothing.
    If it is broken
    Mocking someone's loss is treated like a personal attack.
Disagreements

How disagreements are handled.

Members will read the same chart differently. That is useful. Here is how it stays useful.

  1. Step 1

    Say it in the thread

    Disagree in public, with your reasoning. 'I read it differently because…' is the whole format.

  2. Step 2

    Move it if it grows

    If it runs past a few replies, a moderator moves it to 'Ask the desk' so the session thread stays clear.

  3. Step 3

    A moderator closes it

    When it stops being useful, a moderator closes it with a short summary of both views. Nobody has to win.

  4. Step 4

    Appeal privately

    Think a moderator got it wrong? Reply to the moderation note and ask for a second moderator to look. You get an answer within x days.

About signals

Why we say 'no signals' so often.

Many trading groups are built around calls: buy here, stop there, target this. A call hands someone a decision without the reasoning, the risk or the context of their own account. When it goes wrong, they have learned nothing.

The desk note does the opposite. It says what we are watching and why, and what would change our mind. What you do with that is up to you and your own plan. Everything in the group is education and market commentary, not investment advice.
