📌 Indicators & Tools — Rules (read before posting)

[Dave]

This section is for discussing technical indicators, scripts, charting tools, signal tools, and anything else that helps you analyse the market. Share what you use, ask what you can't figure out, and help others when you can.

Basic conduct

• If someone's indicator setup looks questionable, explain why, don't just laugh at it. Everyone's been a beginner.
• No condescension toward people asking basic questions about indicators. This section exists precisely for that.
• Critique the tool, not the person using it.

Promotion & advertising

• Do not advertise paid indicators, signal services, or proprietary tools without admin approval. Posting your product link "just as a resource" still counts as promotion.
• If you built something and want to share it, reach out to admin first, there's a right way to do it.
• Referral links to third-party tool platforms get removed without warning.
• DMing members to sell your indicator or tool will get you banned.

Posting standards

• When sharing an indicator, include what it's for, what platform it runs on, and ideally a screenshot with some context. A file with no explanation helps no one.
• When asking for help, mention the platform: MT4, MT5, TradingView, cTrader, and what you're actually trying to achieve. "This indicator doesn't work" isn't enough to go on.
• Don't post backtested results as proof of anything without being upfront about the methodology. Curve-fitted results on clean historical data are worthless and everyone here knows it.

Other things that'll get your post removed

• Sharing cracked, decompiled, or pirated versions of paid indicators. Zero tolerance.
• Posting tools that require account registration on suspicious third-party sites.
• Indicators bundled with unrelated promotional material.

Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated.
Not sure if something's allowed, message a mod before posting.
