It's one of the more personal sections on the forum, so keep that in mind when you're reading someone else's entries.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Basic conduct</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Constructive feedback is welcome if someone asks for it. Unsolicited criticism of someone's journal isn't.</li>
<li>No comparisons designed to make someone feel bad about their performance. Everyone's at a different stage.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Promotion &amp; advertising</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Referral links get removed without warning.</li>
<li>DMing members off the back of their journal posts to sell them something will get you banned.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Posting standards</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Include your reasoning, not just the outcome. Why did you take the trade? What were you seeing? What would you do differently?</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>There's no required format, but include enough detail that someone reading it can actually follow your thinking.</li>
</ul>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Other things that'll get your post removed</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Journal threads that are clearly just a setup for promoting a paid product or service.</li>
<li>Posting other people's journal entries or results without their permission.</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>
