Community guidelines
Together we create an open, respectful, and educational community.
1. Respect and tone
Discuss ideas – never people. Personal attacks, threats, harassment, and discrimination are not allowed and may lead to suspension.
2a. Share analysis – not investment advice
Tradeification is a technical platform. We provide demo trading and the option to connect your own API keys to your own account with your broker, free of charge. We do not choose instruments, size, or timing for you, we do not charge fees for placing orders, and we have no control over your funds. Content in the Community, including TSR ranking and shared setups, is user-generated and does not constitute investment advice.
Past performance or TSR is no guarantee of future results.
2b. Trading involves risk.
Trading financial instruments, especially with leverage, can result in losses exceeding your invested capital. You are responsible for understanding the risks of the instruments and leverage you trade before connecting a live broker account. Tradeification recommends that you only trade with capital you can afford to lose and that you familiarise yourself with your broker's terms for margin requirements and liquidation.
3. Market manipulation is prohibited
It is prohibited to attempt to influence the market through coordinated buys or sells. Suspected market manipulation may be reported to relevant authorities.
This includes but is not limited to: coordinated buying/selling to move the price ("pump and dump"), spreading misleading information to influence other traders' decisions, and using a high TSR ranking or large community influence to push others to follow a position you intend to exit yourself. Suspected market abuse can be reported to Finansinspektionen (SE), Finanstilsynet (NO/DK), or Finansinspektionen (FI) depending on where the suspected activity took place.
4. Age limit
You must be at least 18 years old to create an account and take part in the Community.
5. No spam or advertising
Advertising for external services, courses, or signal services is not allowed. Posts primarily intended for self-promotion will be removed. You are welcome to link to news sources, charts, and official reports.
6. Setup sharing for traders
Traders share structured setups via "Create setup" so entry, stop loss, and target are transparent. Posts lacking clear levels or reasoning may be removed.
Published setups cannot be deleted afterwards if they resulted in a loss — the history stays transparent to prevent cherry-picking results. Traders who consistently delete or edit setups after the outcome is known may lose their TRADER verification.
7. How we moderate the Community
Normally, we follow a phased model: warning → timed channel suspension → suspension from the community → permanent suspension. For serious rule violations, suspension may occur immediately.
8. Report content
Report posts or messages directly in the Community or email support@tradeification.com. All reports are handled confidentially.
Why do we have guidelines?
Tradeification is built on transparency, respect, and learning. These guidelines help us create a space where traders can grow together.
