Realtraders,

   I am all for America, its Freedom, and what it stands for!  But, as 
Moderator of a Trading Forum which looses its focus, I have the authority 
to censor and extinguish such expressions of discussion.

  Please, Please, Please stop sending non-trading related messages to this 
Forum.  As you can see, it only provokes continued discussions which 
distracts from our objective, WHICH IS TRADING!

   If somebody want to set up a second "discussion list" using egroups or 
another listserver go ahead.  You can then use that listserver to discuss 
such topics.  Don't worry, I won't moderate it...you can talk about 
anything you want.  Just don't let it trickle over to this Forum.
   Let me know if anyone plans on setting up this alternate forum...I will 
send a public message to the RT Forum giving them the instructions.  In the 
event no one takes this initiative, then no one can be upset with me and my 
enforcement of this Forums rules and policies.

   Now for the scarry part:  I will be out of town for several days 
(6/30-7/5) and I'm afraid that when I get back that I will have over 1000 
emails to read.  Of which only a handful will be trading related.  I do not 
want to see this.  I am asking that you POLICE yourselves or ask that some 
of the more active members (who discuss trading) please help in policing 
YOUR FORUM.

  In light of these frequent Administrative posts, over the last week, in 
which I ask that you stick to 'trading topics', I will have little patients 
for violators when I return.  I am not joking, you will be suspended or 
removed!  You are forewarned!

With that said, I hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend,
John Boggio - RT Moderator



Below is our RT's statement...

Realtraders,
    In an attempt to maintain a superior forum for the serious 
trader/investor, please read the following:

    RealTraders's objective is to provide a channel of communication in 
which the serious/professional trader can freely discuss current market 
conditions in a timely and informative manner.  The primary topics of 
discussion includes market timing, futures,   stocks, options and mutual 
funds analyses.  As well as discussions regarding trading systems, books, 
methodologies and money management.  The forum should be considered as an 
educational and learning tool and as such,  all posts  should be 
informative and useful to a majority of its members.    With your help, 
these objectives can be met, and the success of this forum will shine on a 
daily basis.

    In order to achieve our goals, the moderators of this forum have 
derived a few policy regulations that we believe will best enhance the 
quality of this forum.  PLEASE READ, SAVE AND IMPLEMENT these strongly 
recommended suggestions.

    For those looking to UNSUBSCRIBE or be REMOVED from our server, please 
follow the directions below, NOTE: An abridged version is always included 
with my 'signature':

**************************************************

NOW FOR OUR POLICIES

1. Each and every post to this forum should have RELEVENT SUBSTANCE, useful 
to a majority of its members.  DO NOT send a post to the RT's Forum just to 
see your own message 'on-line'.  THIS IS NOT A 'CHAT' FORUM!!!
2.  If you are going to post a message to the forum, be SPECIFIC and 
COMPLETE with respect to the content of your message.  This means complete 
sentences and complete thoughts, so that everyone understands the purpose 
and intent of your post.
3. Always be courteous and respectful to other members, and their comments, 
in this Forum. Flaming (attacking others with insulting messages) is very 
common on some mailing lists and has occurred here in the past.  However, 
going forward, it will not be tolerated on this list anymore. Culprits will 
receive a private message reminding them of the list policy and firmly 
requesting that they stop. They will be removed from the list if they 
persist.  Further, rude or vulgar language can not be tolerated and will 
also result in immediate termination of your membership.
4. As a professional courtesy, please sign your messages at the bottom of 
your post.
5. Use VERY descriptive "Subject Headings" to introduce your post.
6 .   In addition, we will also ask that you include one of the 7 
abbreviations that best describes the content of your post.

The 8 abbreviations are:
                  STKS = Stocks
                  FUTR = Futures
                  MKT = Market commentary: US, Foreign, Stock and/or Bond
                  OPTN = Options
                  GEN = General TRADING RELATED Q's:Books,Systems,Programs,
                  DAY = DayTraders
                 PSYCH = The Mental Process of Trading
                 FOREX = Foreign Exchange Market

      These abbreviations should PRECEDE your title and should be 
CAPITALIZED.     As an example:

                               MKT - Technical Analysis S&P500 15minute 051599
                                                      or
                              FUTR - Bonds are forming an interesting 
pattern 5/15/99.

      We will do this in an attempt to assist ALL members better find posts 
that they feel will be of most interest to them.
7.  When responding (Re:'ing: ) a post, please "cut and paste" ONLY the 
meat of the post you are referring too.
8.  Very Important: "THANK YOU'S" and non-relevant "ONE-LINERS" or "JUNK 
MESSAGES" are NOT to be posted to the group.  Please send those messages to 
that person using their PRIVATE EMAIL ADDRESS.  Constant refusal to comply 
can result in termination.
9. Again, I repeat, each and every post to this forum should have RELEVENT 
SUBSTANCE, useful to a majority of its members. Again, avoid posting 
"Thanks you's" and "one-liners".  I can not stress this enough!!!

         Finally, we have a strict advertising policy and as such, anyone 
interested in selling a product or service, must contact one of its 
moderators before posting anything through our system.  This is done to 
best serve the interests of its members.  Note: If   you have a website in 
which you sell some form of product or service, you may post your URL 
address below your signature BUT YOU CAN NOT MAKE REFERRENCE TO YOUR 
SITE.  FURTHER, IF YOU ARE GOING TO INCLUDE THAT URL ADDRESS, THEN YOUR 
ORIGINAL POST MUST  PROVIDE INTERESTING, INFORMATIVE AND USEFUL 
INFORMATION.  YOU CAN NOT SIMPLY POST YOUR URL ADDRESS!!!

**********************************************
To UNSUBSCRIBE, change to DIGEST or CHANGE EMAIL ADDRESS:

    To leave RealTraders, you should send a message to 
mdaemon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the following in the message body (and nothing 
else):


                 unsubscribe realtraders


   To change your subscription to the digest mode, send a message to 
mdaemon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the following in the message body (and nothing 
else):


                 set digest realtraders


   To change your subscription to the non-digest mode, send a message to 
mdaemon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the following in the message body (and nothing

   To change your email address or if you have other problems or questions, 
please direct them to

                 support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

   Final note: The digest format is unfortunately just as illegible as it 
was before. We will be working on this problem, and will let you know when 
it is resolved.



Thank you for your time and your interest in making RealTraders the  best 
online forum on the Internet.

Sincerely,
John Boggio
