Ideas for a sticky thread that helps new members

Post by FXS London Scalper »

New members tend to ask the same few questions. A well-built sticky could save everyone time. A draft structure, comments welcome:
  • What scalping means here: timeframes, typical holding times, why costs matter so much.
  • Costs in one page: spread, commission, slippage, and how to express them as cost per trade.
  • Platform basics: stop level, freeze level, execution types, with links to existing threads.
  • Risk: position sizing, daily loss limits, why gold and indices need separate sizing.
  • Journals: a minimal template.
  • How to ask a good question: screenshot standards, what information to include.
Each section should be short and link to the best existing discussion rather than repeat it.

A practical suggestion: one person writes each section, someone else reviews it, and moderators lock it once done. A review every year keeps links working.

It would also help to say clearly what the forum isn't: a signal service or a place for broker promotion.

Which sections would you add or remove?
