want to start posting live trade ideas here but ive seen how useless most are: someone just types 'long eurusd' with no level, no stop, no reasoning, then vanishes. if im going to post calls i want them to be genuinely useful and accountable. what should a live idea actually contain to be worth anything to readers?
