Where the arguments happen
Trading communities usually optimise for confidence. This one is set up for the opposite: published strategies must carry their out-of-sample record, product proposals are argued before they are built, and the threads worth reading are the ones about trades that lost.
Discussion
Strategy design, regime classification, configuration questions and post-mortems on trades that went wrong. The most useful threads are the ones about losses.
Peer-to-peer. Staff read it; it is not a support queue.
Strategy exchange
Published strategies with their full parameter history and out-of-sample record attached. Publishing requires the record — a strategy without one cannot be listed.
Transparency enforced, not requested.
Proposals
Changes to the product, argued in public before they are built. Every accepted proposal links to the pull request that implemented it.
Where roadmap decisions actually happen.
Access is tied to your account rather than an open invite link, which keeps the strategy exchange attributable and the discussion free of drive-by promotion. Request access from the support center.
Office hours
An open call every second Thursday. No agenda beyond what people bring — usually a configuration someone cannot get right, a decision nobody can explain, or an argument about whether a strategy is overfitted.
Recorded and published with the questions timestamped, because the answer someone needed at 14:32 is usually the answer somebody else needs next month.

Code of conduct
Four rules, enforced. They exist because a community around money attracts a specific kind of noise, and a policy nobody applies is decoration.
Breaches are handled privately first. Repeated ones end access — including for paying accounts, because the alternative is charging people to be advertised at.
- 01No signal-selling, no referral links, no performance claims without the record attached. A screenshot of a P&L is not evidence of anything.
- 02Disagree with the argument. Reviews and threads are public and permanent, and a technical disagreement is not a personal one.
- 03No financial advice, given or requested. Discuss method and mechanism; leave 'should I buy this' to a licensed adviser who knows your situation.
- 04Assume the person asking a basic question has been trading for a week. Everyone here was.
If you would rather contribute code than conversation, the open-source page covers what is public and how contributions are reviewed. Security findings go through the private disclosure route on the security page, never a public channel.
