    This section is for beginner traders: asking questions, learning the basics, working through common mistakes, and understanding how trading actually works step by step. No question is too basic here, that's the whole point of the section. Basic conduct If you know the answer to someone's question, help them. If you don't, don't guess and present it as fact. No condescension. Everyone in the Experienced Traders section was once asking the same questions people ask here. Telling someone to "just Google it" isn't a contribution. If you don't want to help, scroll past. Promotion & advertising Do not promote paid courses, mentorships, signal services, or any commercial product without admin approval. Beginners are the most targeted group in this industry and we take that seriously. If you genuinely want to share a free educational resource, contact admin first. Referral links get removed without warning. DMing new members to sell them anything will get you permanently banned, no warnings. Posting standards Ask your question clearly. The more context you give, the better the answer you'll get. What are you trying to understand? What have you already read or tried? If you get a good answer, acknowledge it. It helps others find the right information when they search later. If you're sharing advice, be honest about your own experience level. Well-intentioned but wrong advice from someone who's also a beginner can do real damage. There's no such thing as a stupid question here, but there is such a thing as not reading the thread before posting the same question that was answered two posts above. Other things that'll get your post removed Anyone using this section to target or exploit new traders. This gets you permanently banned. Misinformation presented confidently as fact. Posts that are clearly just fishing for a mentor-client relationship or paid coaching. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated. Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team

    This section is for advanced trading discussions: execution, risk management, psychology, systems thinking, market structure, and professional workflows. The bar for discussion here is higher than in the rest of the forum, and that's intentional. Basic conduct Assume the person you're talking to knows what they're doing until proven otherwise. This section attracts people with real experience and they deserve to be treated accordingly. Disagreement is fine. This is where some of the best arguments on the forum happen. Keep it about the ideas. If you're pointing out a flaw in someone's reasoning, be specific. Vague dismissiveness doesn't belong here. Promotion & advertising Do not promote paid services, courses, funds, or any commercial product without admin approval. Experienced traders are exactly the audience bad actors want access to, so this gets enforced strictly. Mentioning tools or platforms in context is fine. Building threads around them to drive traffic is not. Referral links get removed without warning. DMing members with commercial offers will get you banned. Posting standards Be precise. This section isn't the place for vague market takes or surface-level analysis. If you're making a point, make it properly. When discussing systems or workflows, include enough detail to make it useful. High-level generalisations don't move the conversation forward. Psychology and mindset discussions are welcome, but ground them in practical experience. Abstract theory without real application doesn't add much here. If you're sharing results or data to support a point, be transparent about the methodology. Other things that'll get your post removed Content that belongs in beginner or general sections being posted here to get more visibility. Posts that use the credibility of this section as cover for promoting a product or service. Unverified performance claims used to establish authority. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated. Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team

    This section is for sharing your trading journal, tracking progress, and documenting your development as a trader. It's one of the more personal sections on the forum, so keep that in mind when you're reading someone else's entries. Basic conduct Respect the fact that people are sharing real results, real mistakes, and real money. Don't pile on someone for a bad trade or a rough week. Constructive feedback is welcome if someone asks for it. Unsolicited criticism of someone's journal isn't. No comparisons designed to make someone feel bad about their performance. Everyone's at a different stage. Promotion & advertising Do not use your journal thread to promote paid services, signal products, or anything commercial without admin approval. A journal is a log, not a marketing channel. Referral links get removed without warning. DMing members off the back of their journal posts to sell them something will get you banned. Posting standards Be honest. A journal full of only winning trades isn't a journal, it's a highlight reel. The losses and the thought process behind them are the whole point. Include your reasoning, not just the outcome. Why did you take the trade? What were you seeing? What would you do differently? You don't have to post every day, but if you start a journal thread, try to keep it updated. Abandoned journals with one entry aren't useful to anyone, including you. There's no required format, but include enough detail that someone reading it can actually follow your thinking. Other things that'll get your post removed Journal threads that are clearly just a setup for promoting a paid product or service. Posting other people's journal entries or results without their permission. Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated. Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team

    There's no shortage of EAs being sold online with polished landing pages and backtests that look like a straight line up. Most of them don't survive first contact with a live account. We've tested a lot of them ourselves, with real money. The full rating is here: forexroasted.com/robots We spent our own cash on this. Not demo accounts, not vendor-provided setups. Go check it out before you buy anything. What we're currently running Out of everything we've been through, two EAs have actually held up on live accounts: EA Automatic and BullCharge Full performance data and our take on both are in the rating above. — ForexRoasted Team

    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. Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting. — ForexRoasted Team

    leverage = how much margin needed. p&l per pip never changes. focus on position size and stop distance,not leverage ratio.

    think in underlying drivers, not pairs. max 3 positions. never more than 1 on the same factor direction. simple works.
