This is a community for people who trade financial instruments, and the description sets the tone in one line, short the world at your own peril. The rules tell you who posts here, people who want real discussion backed by facts, not hype. The first rule says it plainly, this is not wsb, so low effort posts and pages of hype get removed. The community encourages members to post their trades, as long as those trades come with context and analysis. Advice is expected to be genuine and given in good faith, and the mods say they review every post to keep the place clean and professional.
The rule that decides most marketing adjacent outcomes here is “Soliciting Services”, because it bans linking to videos, blogs, or websites that demo a trading strategy and then forward to a paid service, and it says that putting “DM me” gets you out. “No low effort posts, or posts without meaningful content - WE ARE NOT WSB” is the second gate, since every post should encourage discussion and every opinion should be backed by factual information linked to its source. “No Batch Posting - We are NOT your marketing channel” matters if you post the same content across subreddits, because the mods check post history and ban for it. “Keep things professional” sets the tone bar, asking for professional and possibly casual posts without insults or opinions without context. “Posting trades” matters if you want to share a trade, because empty trades or account balances without meaning get removed. “All advice must be given in good faith” removes pump and dumps and bans the users behind them. Finally, “Mods can remove posts, comments, or ban users at their discretion” reminds you the mods review every post and can act without warning.
A good post here starts a real discussion and proves its claims. If you have an opinion about a market, a sector, or a trading approach, back it with factual information and link to that information, because the rules demand it. If you want to share a trade you made, include the context and the analysis behind it, why you entered, what you expected, and what happened. If you built something useful for traders, the honest path is to participate first, share genuine analysis with no strings attached, and only mention your work if it directly supports a factual point, never as a funnel to a paid service. Write like a professional, keep jokes light and rare, and make every post something a serious trader could respond to.
The fastest way out is anything that smells like promotion. Do not link to a video, blog, or website that shows a strategy and then sends people to a paid service, and never write dm me, because the solicitation rule says that gets you out. Do not cross post the same content into this sub as part of a batch, because the mods randomly check post history and say you will be banned. Do not post low effort content, hype, rocket emojis, or opinions without factual backing, because this is not wsb. Do not steal other people's posts and pass them off as your own, since the mods actively check. Do not post empty trades or account balances without meaning. Do not give advice in bad faith, like pump and dumps, because that earns a ban. And keep it professional, no insults or irrelevant jokes.

Look up any Reddit user's post karma, comment karma and account age, and see how many subreddit posting rules the account clears.
Look up a subreddit's members, weekly visitors, age, growth and the karma and account age it asks of new posters.
Find any Reddit account's cake day, its exact age, and when it becomes old enough for the subreddits it wants to post in.
Yes, but only if the link backs up a factual claim you are making in the post. The rules make links conditional, and any link that forwards to a paid service falls under “Soliciting Services”.
No. “Soliciting Services” says you put “DM me”, you are out, so this community treats that phrase as an instant exit.
Not as a marketing channel. “No Batch Posting - We are NOT your marketing channel” says the mods check post history and ban cross posters, so your account history matters as much as the post itself.
Yes, and the rules actually encourage it, but only with real context and analysis. An empty trade or a bare account balance gets removed under “Posting trades”.
The description is one line, short the world at your own peril, and the rules say posts should encourage discussion with factual backing, so expect traders who want substance and will not tolerate hype.
