General Overview:

The TradeStation Forums are dedicated to expanding the strategy trading technology and development knowledge of traders worldwide. Most of the articles' content is supplied by well-known industry professionals. If you believe you have a good strategy development article, we invite you to send it to articles@TradeStation.com. We reserve the right to accept or reject the submission as we see fit.

Length:

Range of 2500-3000 words

Content:

Articles are forums for strategy development ideas and concepts, not platforms to promote products — software, books, seminars, etc. — not to recommend or promote any specific strategies. Such articles will not be accepted.
   
Articles should be focused around trading concepts, not complete strategies. Examples are: entry conditions, profit targets, trade size rules, stop loss, indicators, ShowMe Studies, PaintBar studies, etc.
   
Don't make unsubstantiated claims, or provide examples that have been "doctored" or are in any manner artificial, deceptive or misleading.
   
Use recent TradeStation chart examples — that is, the most recent 12 months, and preferably, the last two or three months (the more recent, the better). Old examples undermine credibility.
   
Please include ELD file, and state the Study Type by Category.
 

Example:

  • Strategy: Components
  • MO = Momentum Disciplines
  • CT = Counter Trend Disciplines
  • MD = Multiple Disciplines
  • EC = Entry Condition
  • EX = Exit Condition
  • SL = Stop Loss
  • PT = Profit Target
  • TE = Time Exit
  • TR = TradeSizeRule

Tense:

Write in the second person, addressing the reader as "you," or the third person. Do not write in the first person ("I," "me").

Accepted submissions:

TradeStation will notify you if it wishes to publish your article, and will contact you to determine deadline and editorial procedures. We cannot return submitted articles.

If you submit an article, we will not ever sell it, but you are giving TradeStation Securities and its affiliates the right to publish it, in perpetuity, royalty-free.
