If you've got a read on where the market is headed and the reasoning to back it up, this is the place to share it.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Basic conduct</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Back up your calls with something. "Everyone's long EUR/USD so it's going down" is a starting point, not an argument. Show the data or the logic behind it.</li>
<li>Disagree with someone's read? Good, that's what makes a market. Keep it civil and stick to the analysis.</li>
<li>Don't dismiss contrarian views outright. Sentiment analysis exists precisely because the crowd is often wrong at the extremes.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Promotion &amp; advertising</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Do not promote sentiment tools, paid data services, or signal products without admin approval.</li>
<li>Mentioning a tool you use for context is fine. Building a thread around it to drive sign-ups is not.</li>
<li>Referral links get removed without warning.</li>
<li>DMing members to push sentiment services will get you banned.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Posting standards</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When posting a sentiment-based view, include the source: COT report, broker positioning data, macro release, whatever you're working from. "Sentiment is bearish" with no source isn't useful.</li>
<li>Specify the timeframe and context. Short-term retail sentiment and long-term institutional positioning are very different things and mixing them up causes confusion.</li>
<li>If your call didn't play out, post the follow-up. The misses are often more instructive than the wins.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Other things that'll get your post removed</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Vague predictions dressed up as sentiment analysis with nothing behind them.</li>
<li>Posts that are clearly just promotion for a paid signal service using sentiment as a hook.</li>
<li>Off-topic content that belongs in the brokers or tools sections.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto">Warnings for minor stuff, bans for anything deliberate or repeated.<br />
Not sure if something fits here, message a mod before posting.</p>
