Welcome to Trading Talk, where active traders like us can "talk shop"!

Let's make this a positive, friendly and helpful place for traders to spend time discussing 'hot topics' -- plus get all the answers you need to help you improve your trading skills. It's a place for You.

Simple rules to keep this a professional, fun place for active traders:

+ Be supportive and respect each other

+ No commercial posting, signatures, psuedo-'reviews' of any kind nor affiliate links nor links to any commercial trading products/services. I've IP-banned and deleted over 17 people so far who tried to sign up then post their URL (forum spam). Zero tolerance for spam. You will NOT get a warning. If you ever attempt to post a message that contains a URL/domain name, I will simply IP-ban you, delete your username and your posts never appear here (since I moderate them all before they appear). Do NOT sign up if you intend to post any URLs/domain names here, because you'll get instantly, permanently deleted. This is because I want this forum to be a commercial-free, trader-friendly forum with ZERO ads or spam.

+ No self promotion of your website, nor shilling for others' sites. No displaying your website url or email or other contact information. Any users found violating our policy will be banned immediately.
+ No whining, complaining or nagging. Most of us are already married (lol).
+ No "stock picks" or hyping any financial instrument. Any member posting comments such as "stock abc is going up! buy now! will be banned immediately.
+ Focus on technical trading setups, and mental "how to stay focused" on successfully trading the markets.

GOAL: Trading Talk is specifically designed to be a premium message board primarily discussing specific professional active trader strategies. We welcome technical trading tips and strategies, insights, things that will help other traders be more successful. Let's work together to keep it completely free of negative posts, attacks, and self-interest spamming and shilling. Very valuable.

==> Traders who are genuinely interested in sharing their experiences and trading strategies with other are welcome here. Vendors and ego-artists who have something to prove, or something to sell, will be quickly spotted and eliminated from posting here w/IP bans.
We welcome all of you here, as we want to develop Trading Talk into a top-quality active traders' resource. Join us!

== Keep it Professional:
