Rules of Engagement

Guidelines for participating in the PreTrade Setup Network

1. Respect the community

Treat other traders with professionalism and respect. Disrespectful language, harassment, intimidation, or personal attacks are not permitted. Constructive disagreement is welcome, but hostility is not.

2. Share genuine setups

Post setups that reflect your real analysis or trading approach. Avoid misleading screenshots, unrealistic claims, edited performance results, or intentionally deceptive information.

3. No spam or promotion

Do not post repeated content, referral links, advertisements, or attempts to redirect users to external services without permission. The Setup Network is designed for analysis sharing, not marketing.

4. Keep comments constructive

Comments should contribute to discussion, clarification, or learning. Avoid low-value replies, repeated messaging, trolling behavior, or attempts to provoke other users.

5. Use media responsibly

Only upload charts, screenshots, or images that support your setup idea. Do not upload unrelated content, copyrighted material without permission, or misleading visuals intended to manipulate interpretation.

6. No impersonation

Do not attempt to impersonate mentors, traders, educators, or other users. Profiles must represent the account owner accurately.

7. Strategy transparency expectations

When sharing setups, provide enough context for others to understand the idea. This may include timeframe, bias, structure reasoning, invalidation level, or target logic where appropriate.

8. Account integrity

Do not create multiple accounts for manipulation, engagement inflation, repost loops, or artificial credibility signals. Abuse of engagement systems may result in restrictions.

9. Reporting misuse

If you encounter misleading setups, abusive behavior, or suspicious activity, use available reporting tools when they become available. Reports help maintain quality across the network.

10. Enforcement

Accounts that repeatedly violate these rules may have content removed, engagement limited, or access restricted depending on severity. Enforcement decisions may evolve as the platform grows.

By participating in the Setup Network, you agree to follow these guidelines to help maintain a focused, professional trading environment.
