Lounge

What the Lounge is

Lounge in the sidebar is where you watch the market and share records with other members. It has a Market heatmap, a Posts, and a Content tab (the heatmap opens first); the Content tab is still in preparation. On wide screens a Chat panel sits at the top of the right rail; on narrower screens (tablet and phone) it becomes its own Chat tab.

The market heatmap is available on every plan. Posts in the Lounge are visible to all logged-in members, and posts and comments can be read and written on every plan. Chat and direct messages are readable by anyone, but sending requires a paid plan (see Chat rooms and Direct messagesbelow).

Market heatmap

The first tab shows how the market moved at a glance. One tile is one symbol, tile size is scale and tile color is the change. Pick crypto, KOSPI, or US at the top.

• Crypto and US— the TradingView heatmap widget, embedded as is. You can regroup, resort, and zoom inside the widget, and the bar above the US map lets you pick a country and index, including KOSPI and KOSDAQ (it opens on the S&P 500). Prices are the delayed feed TradingView provides, and symbols appear as tickers only.
• KOSPI — our own map, based on the previous trading day’s close. Tile size is market cap, names are in Korean, and the reference date sits above the map on the right. Korean prices come from the Financial Services Commission public data feed, which settles end-of-day, so intraday values are not available.

The heatmap is information only. It is not a buy or sell recommendation, and there is no way to download or redistribute the price data. On narrow screens we draw fewer tiles and keep the larger symbols.

Browsing the posts

The toolbar on the Posts tab narrows the feed to what you want to see.

• Categories — All, Following (only traders you follow), With record (posts with a report, backtest, or review attached), and Text only.
• Search and sort — search by post, author, or record title, and sort by latest or popular (likes + comments).
• Saved — tap the bookmark at the bottom right of a card to save it, then use the bookmark icon in the toolbar to see only what you saved.

Tapping a card does not navigate away — it expands in place. The full text, all record metrics, and the comments appear inside the card, and Collapsecloses it. Scrolling down loads more posts automatically. If you copy a card's link and share it, it opens on a page that shows just that post.

On wide screens, Popular posts appear on the right. Pick daily, weekly, or monthly to see the 10 most-viewed posts of that period.

Posting and attaching a record

Tap New post to write freely, or attach either an analysis report or a P&L heatmap so the discussion has evidence behind it. Before you attach, note the following.

• You can add up to 4 photos per post, and they are shrunk automatically on upload. A YouTube link in the body turns into a video preview card.
• Only reports you have already made public can be attached. The Lounge never turns sharing on for you, so enable sharing in Reports first. The card shows the report cover with a QR code, and turning sharing off also blocks that link.
• The heatmap is posted as an image. The month you pick is rendered into a single picture and posted with your text. Deleting the post also deletes the image.
• What you attach is frozen as of the time you posted. Editing or deleting the original does not change a card that is already up.
• Your nickname and profile image as of posting time are shown with it. Changing your nickname later does not change past posts.

Interacting

• Likes and comments— comments support one level of replies, and comments from the post's author carry an Author badge.
• Editing and deleting — edit your own post from the ⋯ menu on the card, and your own comment with the Edit button. After editing, (edited) appears next to the time. Attached records cannot be changed — only the text.
• Copy link — copy a post's address from the ⋯ menu to share it.

Following

Follow traders you want to keep up with using + Follow on their card. The Following list on the right gathers them, and tapping a name filters the feed to that person. Choosing the Followingcategory shows only posts from traders you follow. If you haven't followed anyone yet, see the Traders you might like suggestions.

Only you can see who you follow. No notification is sent to them, and who follows you is not made public either.

Chat rooms

The chat panel has topic rooms such as General, Crypto, KR stocks, and US stocks. Tap a pill at the top to switch rooms. We add or retire rooms as the community needs them.

• Anyone logged in can read; sending requires a paid plan. On a free plan, a notice appears where the input box would be.
• Messages are kept for 30 days. Anything older is deleted automatically, and the panel only shows the last 30 days. Post anything worth keeping.
• New messages appear as they arrive. Scroll up to load earlier ones, and anything you missed while the tab was in the background is filled in when you come back.
• The ⋯ menu next to a message offers Send a message, Mute, and Report; your own messages can be deleted. Tapping someone's name or avatar also opens a direct message.

Direct messages

The Messagespill at the top of the chat panel opens your inbox, with a badge for unread messages. You can also start a conversation by tapping someone's name in chat or choosing Send a message from the ⋯ menu.

• Starting a conversation requires a paid plan. You can always reply to someone who wrote to you first, on any plan.
• Direct messages are also kept for 30 days. Deleting one you sent removes it from the other person's screen too.
• Only the two of you can read a conversation. We do not read them either, which is why direct messages cannot be reported. If someone bothers you, use Mute below.

Muting someone

Mute a member from the ⋯ menu on a chat message or the speaker icon at the top of a conversation. Muting changes two things.

• Their chat messages no longer appear for you.
• They cannot send you direct messages.

Posts and comments are unaffected.The other person is never told they were muted — they simply see “This person isn't accepting messages.” To undo it, expand Muted people at the bottom of your inbox and tap Unmute, or press the speaker icon again in that conversation.

My messages

The list icon at the top right of the chat panel gathers everything you have sent — chat messages and direct messages — newest first. Each row shows which room it was in or who it went to, and tapping it jumps straight there. The trash icon deletes one at a time, and deleted messages disappear from other people's screens too.

Community rules and reporting

The Lounge is for talking through records. The following posts are not allowed.

• Investment solicitation such as recommending buying or selling a particular instrument, trade signaling, or guaranteeing profits
• Promoting external channels such as paid signal rooms or open chats, or inducing payments
• Abuse, defamation, discrimination, and false or exaggerated claims such as fabricated profits
• Spamming the same content repeatedly

You can report a problematic post, comment, or chat message from the ⋯ menu (or the Report button on comments). Reports stay anonymous to the author; reported content is reviewed and may be hidden or deleted, and repeated violations can restrict your use of the Lounge. A restriction blocks chat and direct messages as well as posts and comments. We let you know about any action through a notice pop-up when you next open the platform.

A post, comment, or chat message reported by 10 different members is hidden automatically until we review it. For posts, the author sees a notice at the top of the Lounge when this happens, and it goes back up if we find no issue. Being hidden this way is not itself a finding of violation. See Article 9-4 of the Terms of Service for the full rules.

Posting limits

To prevent spam, posting has the following limits. Normal use will not run into them.

• Consecutive posts need a 30-second gap; comments need 10 seconds.
• You can write up to 20 posts and 200 comments per day.
• Chat and direct messages need a 2-second gap, up to 500 per day.
• You cannot post content identical to what you just posted.
