📌 Forex Robots — Rules (read before posting)

[Dave]

This section is for discussing automated trading systems: EAs, trading robots, algorithmic setups, and anything that executes trades without you sitting at the screen. Share what you're running, ask what you can't figure out, and be straight about results.

Basic conduct

• Be honest about performance. A robot that's been running live for three months with a modest return is worth more to this community than a backtest that turned $1,000 into $1,000,000.
• If someone's EA logic has a flaw, explain it properly. "That'll blow the account" needs more than just the assertion.
• No dismissing people who are new to automation. The learning curve is real and everyone here hit the same walls.

Promotion & advertising

• Do not advertise your EA, robot, or automated system without admin approval. This includes "soft" promotion: recommending your own product across multiple threads, offering free trials that lead to a sales funnel, or posting performance screenshots with a link attached.
• If you've built something and want to share it with the community, contact admin first. There's a right way to do it.
• Referral links get removed without warning.
• DMing members to sell your robot will get you banned.

Posting standards

• When sharing results, include the context: live or demo, broker, account size, timeframe the robot has been running, drawdown, not just the return. Anyone can cherry-pick a good month.
• When asking for help with an EA, specify the platform, the issue, and what you've already tried. "My robot doesn't work" tells us nothing.
• If your robot blows up, post what happened. Failure reports are some of the most useful content on any trading forum.
• Backtests are fine for discussion but label them clearly. Optimised backtests presented as live performance will get your post removed.

Other things that'll get your post removed

• Cracked, decompiled, or pirated EAs. Zero tolerance, instant ban.
• Unverified performance claims with no supporting data.
• Posts that exist purely to funnel people toward a paid product.

Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated.
