How to write a great trade idea

The structure that gets ideas liked, featured and followed, and builds a verified track record.

Publishing ideas on Greenback Terminal is the fastest way to build a following. The ideas that get featured, liked and followed have the same ingredients.

1. A clear title

Say the market, direction and the reason: "Gold: buying the London pullback into 2,640 support" beats "XAUUSD analysis".

2. A clean chart

Mark only what matters: the key levels, the trend and your trade box. Use the long/short position tool on Supercharts and press Publish; the chart and your levels are attached automatically, and any uploaded chart is restyled in the Greenback theme.

3. Entry, stop and target

Ideas with all three levels are tracked automatically: they are marked "Target hit" or "Stopped out" from live prices and build your public win rate and leaderboard rank. Honest, tracked results are what earn followers and the verified tick.

4. The reasoning

Explain in a few lines: the higher-timeframe trend, the level, the trigger, and what would prove you wrong. Mention upcoming news if it matters.

5. Share it

Use the Share button to post your idea's image to Telegram, WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. Every share brings new followers to your profile.
