Rule summary
- No off-subreddit discussion (soliciting for DMs,) or promotion of your trader group or chatroom.: Comments must be related to the question. No attempts to take the discussion off the subreddit are allowed (via PM, 3rd party chatroom, etc.) No posts promoting your 3rd party trader group or chatroom. This is a zero tolerance rules, and will result in a perma-ban without the option to appeal.
- No external links or mentions to video sites (YouTube, etc.) Videos must use Reddit Video embeds.: Posts to video sites, including YouTube, are barred. This includes direct links, and recommendations to watch a video, or a description of how to get to the video ("look up so-and-so on youtube, thank me later") If you want to post your own content here, you can do so using Reddit Video embeds, so long as the video does not include mentions of external sites (calling out your social media / YouTube accounts.) This is a zero tolerance rule, and you risk a perma-ban for not following it.
- No Promotional Activity or Advertisements: Do not self promote here. Doing so risks your brand being blacklisted by our spam filters. Any promotional activity will result in a ban. You will have limited ability to appeal.
- No Promotion / Linking / Mentioning of your Social Media (IG, FB, Twitter, etc..) Accounts: This goes along with the rule about not taking the conversation off-site. Dropping your IG link will get you banned. Period.
- If you post a chart setup or trade idea. (Post Requirements): You must be willing to explain your analysis and reasoning for any given chart or trade you post, or else the post will be taken down. Empty charts without annotations are useless. Subjective reasons for a trade do not help others learn or understand what you are doing. Provide practical and tangible reasons for your trade / chart setup so people can follow along with you.
- No Signals / Signals Promotion: This falls under the posting charts rule where you must provide a detailed overview and context to your trade, but specifically singles out the posting of trade 'signals' with any commercial intent.
- Keep It Professional and Friendly!: No insults or attacks of any kind. Abusive posters will be banned. We don't care if they called you names first; report the abuse to us and we will deal with the offending party (getting into a name calling spat will likely just get all parties involved banned.)
- No Gain / Loss (P/L) Porn: We don't care how much money you made or lost. Context is everything, and the details matter! Do not post your P/L Porn here unless you're prepared to give a detailed account of your strategy and all factors that went into generating said P/L. You must also give context to account size, and risk tolerance. Showing off 3000% gains and hiding that it was on a $100 account grossly misrepresents yourself, and we will have none of it here. This also applies to Prop / Scouting firm challenges.
- NO CRYPTO - We are not a crypto sub.: There are a plethora of subs devoted crypto topics. We are not one of them. This sub deals with fiat currencies backed by governments. Even if your forex broker offers Crypto CFDs, it is still considered off-topic here.
- MEMEs are for weekends only!: General idea: Business during the week, party on the weekend. MEMEs posted during the week will be removed, and MEMEs posted on the weekends will stay up but may be removed once Monday starts. When is the weekend? from 4:30PM EST Friday, to 4:30 EST Sunday. The ONLY exception is bank holidays when markets are either closed or illiquid with little trading activity.
- Mods can remove posts, comments, or ban users at their discretion. Do not argue with mod decisions.: Even if no rule was technically violated. The mods reserve the right to scrub posts, comments, and users from the subreddit in the spirit of keeping the community clean and without bias.
Works well
- A detailed chart setup post where you annotate every level, explain your entry and exit logic, and describe the market conditions behind the trade.
- A strategy breakdown post that walks through your trading approach step by step, with practical reasoning others can replicate or question.
- A profit and loss post that includes full context: the strategy used, account size, risk per trade, and all factors that influenced the outcome.
- A question or discussion post about trading psychology, risk management, or a specific fiat currency pair, written to spark genuine conversation.
- A Reddit Video embed that teaches a forex concept, with no mention of your YouTube channel, social media, or external site.
Avoid
- Posting any link to YouTube or other video sites, even as a recommendation, breaks the rule about external video links.
- Dropping your Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or other social media links will get you banned.
- Inviting people to DMs or promoting your own trader group or chatroom is a zero tolerance violation.
- Posting a chart or trade idea without explaining your analysis and reasoning will get the post taken down.
- Sharing profit and loss screenshots without detailing your strategy, account size, and risk tolerance is not allowed.
- Posting trade signals with any commercial intent is prohibited under the signals rule.
What r/Forex Is For
This community is a place to converse about trading ideas, strategies, trading psychology, and nearly everything in between related to forex trading. It is the official subreddit of FXGears.com, a trading forum run by professional traders, and it connects to a large forex chatroom and a resource site called Volatility.RED. The room is focused on fiat currency trading backed by governments, not crypto. People come here to share chart setups, discuss trade reasoning, talk about strategy, and learn from each other in a professional and friendly environment.

What To Post
A good post here is a genuinely useful contribution to the trading conversation, with zero promotional intent. If you share a chart setup, you must explain your analysis and reasoning in practical, tangible terms so others can follow along. If you share trading results, you need to give a full account of your strategy, account size, risk tolerance, and all factors that went into the outcome. If you want to share video content, use Reddit Video embeds only, and never mention or link to your external accounts. The best approach for a founder is to participate as a trader first, answering questions and sharing analysis, without ever steering people toward your own product or platform.
What To Avoid
Avoid any form of self promotion, including links to your own sites, products, or services. Do not link to YouTube or other video sites, and do not even describe how to find a video on those platforms. Never share your social media accounts or invite people to DMs, third party chatrooms, or trader groups, as these are zero tolerance violations that lead to permanent bans. Do not post empty charts or trade ideas without a full explanation of your analysis. Avoid posting profit and loss screenshots without detailed context about your strategy, account size, and risk tolerance. Keep crypto out of your posts entirely. Save memes for the weekend window only, and do not argue with moderator decisions under any circumstances.
