4. Open the chart of the financial instrument you want to analyze, for example Gold (XAUUSD):
5. In the top-right corner of the chart, click “Open Full Chart” to expand it.
6. Add your analysis to the chart:
7. • apply indicators,
   • draw channels and trend lines,
   • add graphical objects,
   • include text notes and explanations.
8. Click the “Share” button in the top panel.
9. In the popup window:

Tips for better ideas

• Clearly describe your scenario (bullish, bearish, neutral)
• Highlight key levels and conditions
• Always include invalidation points
• Avoid vague or overly general statements

Publishing well-structured ideas helps other traders understand your logic and engage with your analysis.

Trading Ideas

Market analysis and trade scenarios (direction, levels, conditions, invalidation).

Education Ideas

Educational posts: methods, indicators, patterns, trading concepts with explanations.

Charts

Chart-focused publications and visual examples (levels, annotations, patterns).

Related areas you may also use:

• Economic Calendar (macro events context)
• Discussions (community Q&A)

Filter by market

Use market sections to narrow down:

• US Stock Market
• Currencies
• Cryptocurrencies
• Metals
• Indices
• Commodities

Use Search

In the header search field you can search by:

• @username to find an author
• $symbol to find an instrument

Examples:

• @john_smith
• $EURUSD
• $AAPL

A strong idea usually contains:

• instrument and timeframe
• a clear scenario (bullish/bearish/neutral)
• key levels (support/resistance, zones)
• confirmation conditions (what must happen)
• invalidation point (what proves the idea wrong)
• risk notes (position sizing logic or risk warnings)

Always ask:

• Is it an educational explanation or a trade proposal?
• What market regime is assumed (trend/range/high volatility)?
• What could break the scenario (news, volatility spikes, liquidity)?

Publishing is for registered users. If you post an idea, aim for clarity and responsibility.

Suggested template:

1. Title: Symbol + timeframe + short thesis
   Example: “$XAUUSD H1 — Breakout continuation scenario”
2. Context: trend/range, key market conditions
3. Levels: support/resistance, targets, invalidation
4. Plan: what you do if price confirms / what you do if it fails
5. Risk: reminder about risk and that it’s not financial advice

What to avoid:

• “Guaranteed profit”, “no risk” promises
• Missing invalidation level
• Overloaded charts without explanation

Because they use different:

• timeframes,
• risk horizons,
• strategies (trend vs mean reversion),
• confirmation rules.
