Chatroom Guidelines

Hey gang,

Folks have asked to have a list describing the general guidelines to the chatroom that I moderate. As such, I have put together a list and posted it here for easy access.

The login link is as follows: http://www.tradingfrommainstreet.com/roomsetup.html. You can also use http://www.icechat.net/ to access the room for free without the mIRC registration.

The room will remain completely free, but to keep it from getting too crazy and out of control and to be a place where everyone feels welcome and comfortable participating. So, please observe the following...

1) Clean family-style fun only… i.e. no cursing (or mock cursing), excessive/undeserved trouting (deserved trouting still approved)

2) Everyone knows how difficult trading can be at times, so let’s keep all posts positive and encouraging… discussing difficult issues with trading is encouraged, but avoid unconstructive complaining

3) Only post stocks and setups which are similar to those you see posted by Toni (mwah). This way even newbies will be able to catch on easier to the style traded here.

4) If watching a security for a trade, post the symbol ahead of time when possible, as well as buy/short and the general type of trade, i.e. breakout, 2t, etc. There will be times we will post missed setups though in order to expand our familiarity with certain patterns and learn from them.

5) For stocks which fit the criteria of the room’s style of trading, you are welcome to post these in purple to make it easier to follow the setups and pick them out from the rest of the chat dialogue. You can do this by typing for example “/me watching XYZ.” (without the quotations), which will post “watching XYZ.” in purple as an action. I will use similar commands on the setups I am watching as well.

See you there!
Toni
