Frequently Asked Questions
The following document contains answers to questions that are asked frequently by The Traderclub Forum users.
The Traderclub Forum is a moderated discussion Forum. Its purpose is to provide an electronic discussion forum that is accessible to anyone on the World Wide Web (WWW). Users can initiate and contribute to conversations. Conversations are monitored and organized by moderators. The Traderclub Forum is ideal for exchanging ideas about trading systems with other traders, asking questions and communicating with people interested in system trading discussions.
The Traderclub Forum is organized into topics; each topic may have subtopics, and so on. The basic topic structure is set up by the Forum administrator (Admin). Within each subtopic are conversations about an aspect of the topic and/or additional subtopics. Users can post messages to these conversations and/or create new conversations within the structure.
Each topic will have a message box for adding a new message and a New Conversation button for adding a new subtopic to the topic you are currently in.Anyone with access to the World Wide Web may access The Traderclub Forum and read any of the posts on The Traderclub Forum. Users may post messages and create new subtopics .
If you do want to post anonymously, you can check the Post message as "Anonymous" option at the bottom of the posting form, in which case you will be referred to as "Anonymous" on the posting screen. However, a log is kept of all posts, and the Forum administrator can trace objectionable messages.
You can format your post using a set of formatting tags. You do not have to know HTML to use these formatting tags. A guide to using these formatting tags to format messages is available on the formatting page, available from the main menu.

To get back to The Traderclub Forum, either use your browser's back button or click on the " Forum Home" link from the The Traderclub Forum main menu.

Some fonts are specific to the Windows operating system and will not be displayed correctly on other platforms.
To contact moderators, click on the "Contact" link from the main menu. You will be presented with the name and e-mail address of the Forum administrator.
The most effective way to use the new message reader is to perform your search, checking for new messages since you last checked. When the results are displayed, choose to open the link in a new browser window. When you are finished reading the messages (and posting any replies), close the new window and then continue down the list of new messages.
The keyword search engine searches the text of messages in those topics that you select and returns the results based on the number of times that any of the keyword(s) appear on the page, i.e., an "or" search. You can perform a "custom search" to require or exclude words as follows:
