STREETSMART EDGE TEMPLATES MOD
Link-posts are filtered (images, screenshots, videos, web links) and require mod approval.
If describing success, failure, or posting account balances, completed trades, active or hypothetical positions: state your market and stock analysis, strategy, and option trade rationale, and trade details so others can understand, discuss, critique, and learn. We have a wiki with a FAQ section that you can check first, and we have a weekly Q&A thread where frequently asked questions are welcome.
Don't post FAQs (Frequently Answered Questions) as new threads: New threads that ask the same type of question repeatedly push new topics off of the front page.
New traders: Use the Options Questions Safe Haven weekly thread for basic questions, and read the educational links there.
Put forward an analysis, general strategy, trade rationale and option position details & exit plan for critique and discussion. Low effort posts amounting to "Ticker?" are taken down. Posts titled "Help", "First Trade" "What should I do?", "What am I missing" or "Advice" are removed. This courtesy to readers enables the archived post to be found again later.
Title your post informatively with particulars.
Give sufficient details about your option strategy and trade to discuss it.
This includes wall-of-text-posts and posts consisting of mostly links with no narrative, and repetitious comments.
No off-topic or low-options-content posts.
Following them avoids automated filtering or moderator intervention or removal of posts or comments. The guidelines are intended to promote useful & thoughtful conversation. Q&A New Traders: See the Options Questions Safe Haven thread
