Basic conduct

• If you disagree with someone's pattern identification, explain why. "That's not a head and shoulders" needs more than just the assertion.
• No mocking basic questions. Pattern recognition takes time to develop and everyone here got it wrong plenty of times before getting it right.
• Critique the analysis, not the person.

Promotion & advertising

• Do not promote paid courses, pattern recognition tools, or signal services without admin approval. "Here's a free chart, DM me for more" still counts as promotion.
• If you've built something related to pattern analysis and want to share it, contact admin first.
• Referral links get removed without warning.
• DMing members to sell anything will get you banned.

Posting standards

• Always attach a chart. Describing a pattern in text without a visual is asking people to take your word for it.
• Mark up the chart properly. Label what you're seeing and where you'd expect price to go. An unmarked screenshot isn't analysis.
• When a setup plays out or fails, post the follow-up. Selective posting of only the wins is the oldest trick in the book and nobody here is fooled by it.
• Specify the pair, timeframe, and when you spotted the pattern. Context matters.

Other things that'll get your post removed

• Retroactive pattern spotting presented as real-time analysis. Hindsight setups are fine for learning, just label them as such.
• Posts that are just thinly veiled promotion for a pattern-based signal service.
• Off-topic content that belongs in sentiment, tools, or broker sections.

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