Default Registration Tips and Troubleshooting

Note that it will likely take at least 30 minutes, and sometimes as long as an hour or two, for your new-member activation email to appear in your email inbox. This is because our server company sends out 'throttled' emails, a bit at a time, to keep the servers running smoothly. Thanks for your patience.

Please do NOT use AOL email addresses nor hotmail, nor comcast, earthlink nor spam-arrest protected ones, since the activation email will not go through.

Usernames: Note that all usernames are moderated/I have to approve them, before you'll be able to post. Do NOT choose a username that's commercial in nature, eg "mysitecom", or sounds unprofessional or childish (like 'boogietrader' or 'peter cottontail'). Choose a decent username, preferably something to do with the stock market, similar to "traderjoe" or "nastrader" or "forexfrank" etc. so we have a professional image here. Names not meeting this simple guideline will not be approved.

How To Register:
Once you enter your registration details, you'll get an activation email that contains a link you must click on, to enable your login access. This is to prevent spambots from flooding the forum.

If you don't see an activation email after 2 hours have passed, be sure to check your spam/trash folders. You can also get a free gmail account and use that to register, I've verified that it works best and is the main free email service I use myself.

CUSTOMERS: If all else fails, contact me via my form at http://www.daytradinguniversity.com/faqs-daytrading.htm with your desired username, password and email and I'll manually add you (this is for current customers of mine only; you have to have bought a product/service from me for me to do this for you).

MODERATION: For now, all posts, attachments, threads and usernames are being moderated (meaning I have to look at them and approve them manually) before showing up here. And there's no private messaging (pms) or email sending allowed. This is to keep out spammers and trouble-makers. Once I get 2-3 moderators onboard, we'll be able to have after-the-fact moderation... for now, I need to see and approve all posts before they're available to read. Thanks for your patience, that's the best way to keep this a commercial/spam-free, high-value content forum for everyone.


Thanks, and welcome aboard!
