What this page is
This page quotes r/algotrading's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-10-11. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/algotrading's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.
Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.
Want to post here? Get ThreadFox ($49): your AI (Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Codex) reads a community's current rules, writes one post that fits and posts once from your own Chrome. No Claude? We'll post for you ($49 per 30-day campaign). Free: a Reddit launch plan for your product, ThreadFox Lite or the posting checklist by email.

All 6 rules of r/algotrading
- No Promotional Activity
This community is not a platform for marketing or self-promotion. Content marketing, product or service announcements, and affiliate links are prohibited. Posts that solely aim to bring attention to your blog, YouTube channel, social media, or any other personal site are not allowed, even if the content is free or educational. Low-quality promotional posts will be removed, and users who repeatedly post such content may be banned. Avoid asking users to “PM for details” or any similar solicitation - High Quality Questions Only
If you post a question without showing any homework of why your question has not been answered and it is easily answerable by google your post will be removed. Please refer to this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/algotrading/comments/1moh1bo/comment/n8da1t0/ - Do Not Ask for Strategies
This community values learning and thoughtful discussion, not shortcuts. Posts asking others to share their working strategies without any prior research or effort will be removed. If you’re looking for guidance, we encourage you to ask specific, well-researched questions that contribute to the conversation. This is a space for sharing insights and knowledge, not for simply obtaining ready-made strategies. Please respect the time and expertise of other members by putting in effort before posting - Keep it Professional and Friendly
No insults or attacks of any kind. Abusive posters will be banned. We don't care if they called you names first; report the abuse to us and we will deal with the offending party (getting into a name calling spat will likely just get all parties involved banned.) - No Gain / Loss (P/L) Porn
If you’re sharing your account profit or loss (P/L), you must provide a thorough write-up that explains your trading approach, including the tools, platforms, and ideas used. Simple snapshots or posts lacking context will be removed. This rule is in place to ensure that these posts contribute to the community’s learning and provide actionable insights rather than just showcasing results. - Report Bot Accounts
Please help us keep discussions and this community clean. There are so many bot accounts posting and commenting. If an account is obviously a bot or engagement farming, please report them.
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
Let your AI read the rules before it posts.
ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
