Here are some further important instructions:

1.Each and every post to this forum should have RELEVANT 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 any member and their comments in this forum. Rude or vulgar language can not be tolerated and can 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 7 abbreviations are:
     a.STKS = Stocks 
     b.FUTR = Futures 
     c.MKT = Market commentary: US, Foreign, Stock AND Bond 
     d.OPTN = Options 
     e.GEN = General TRADING RELATED Q's:Books,Systems,Programs, 
     f.DAY = Day Traders 
     g.PSYCH = The Mental Process of Trading 
     h.FOREX = Foreign Exchange Market 

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

     MKT - SymWave Analysis S&P500 15minute 7/15/97
       or
     FUTR - Bonds are forming an interesting pattern. 

  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 to a post, please "cut and paste" ONLY the meat of the post you are referring to.

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, each and every post to this forum should have RELEVANT SUBSTANCE, useful to a majority of its members. Please avoid posting Thanks you's and one-liners. 

Finally, we have a strict advertising policy and as such, anyone interested in selling a product or service, must contact one of the list moderators before posting anything through our system. This is done to best serve the interests of this list's 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 FURTHER REFERENCE TO YOUR SITE.  IN ADDITION.  IF YOU ARE GOING TO INCLUDE THAT URL ADDRESS, THEN YOUR ORIGINAL POST MUST PROVIDE INTERESTING, INFORMATIVE AND USEFUL INFORMATION -- YOU CANNOT SIMPLY POST YOUR URL ADDRESS!!!
