Great streams stay focused and useful. Avoiding these habits keeps your posts in front of the right people — and keeps your account in good standing.
Don'ts – What to Avoid
Don't tag tickers in off-topic posts
“$AAPL what's for lunch?” adds noise to the Apple stream
Only tag the tickers your post is actually about
Don't use $TICKERS in side conversations
Use replies or @username for back-and-forth chats
Keeps ticker streams focused on actionable ideas
Don't post ads or gated links
No links that require a sign-up, login, or payment to view
Content you share should be publicly accessible and useful
Don't repeat yourself
Posting the same message again and again is treated as spam
Post when you have something new to add
Don't cheerlead or bash
Repetitive hype or hate for a ticker doesn't help anyone
Share your reasoning, not just your excitement
Don't feed the trolls
Arguing with abusive users only amplifies them
Report and block instead
Why it matters: focused posts reach more of the right audience, and repeat offenders may be restricted under the House Rules.
