Contributors are encouraged to send a brief outline of their proposed articles, along with a
resume or short biography, before submitting an article to Trader's Journal. We can save
you the trouble of writing and submitting something that would not be appropriate for
Trader's Journal magazine.
Types of articles: Trader's Journal is primarily interested in specific trading strategy,
money management, psychology, ideas and risk control articles from professional
traders-the how in the areas of when to buy and sell futures, currencies, derivatives,
stocks and options for a short or a long term basis.
Trader's Journal will occasionally accept articles covering broader economic issues
affecting the market or longer-term market forecasts and strategies.
Contributors should be able to confirm trading ideas and performance claims through
brokerage statements, third-party trade auditing, responsible historical testing, or some
other reliable source. Contributions are selected based on their contents by Trader's
Journal. Please understand that we cannot accept all contributions. Depending on the
number and quality of the submissions and the Editor's findings, selections are not
negotiable.
Length: Article length is at between 1,800 to 3,000 words and can go up to 4-6 pages.
Charts can be white or color background and at least 300 dpi. Charts have to send to us
separately from the article. Final word count will be determined by Trader's Journal.
Licenses and Copyright : As detailed in the Author Agreement, Trader's Journal Trader
retains copyright on all material published in its issues, and reserves the right to produce
and distribute reprints of articles, as well as use them in special publications or
promotions, or in any other way it deems fit. Authors may reproduce or reprint articles in
any format with express written permission from Trader's Journal. We require all
submissions to include author's signature of the Publication Agreement.
Important note: As detailed in the Author Agreement, all submissions must be original
works that have never before been published in any other form (print or electronic) and
have not been submitted for publication elsewhere.
If you wish to have your submission considered for publication by a certain date, please
indicate that date when you submit your article to Trader's Journal.
Content
1. Articles covers trading ideas and concepts. It is not a platforms to promote products
such as software, books, seminars, and so on. Such references will be edited.
2. Don't make unsubstantiated claims. In the case of trading strategy articles, for example,
un-optimized historical testing results, audited performance results or brokerage
statements supporting performance claims are strongly encouraged, and in some cases
may be required.
3. Use chart from the last 6 months, and preferably, the last two or three months.
Style
1. Speak directly to the reader, addressing the reader as "you." Do not write in the first
person ("I," "me"). "I" or "me" should never appear in your article.
2. Write simply and directly, as if you were explaining your subject matter to someone
sitting next to you. Focus on your ideas.
3. Divide your article into logical sections separated by short descriptions of what the
sections are about, e.g., "Money management," "Performance results," and so on.
Accepted submissions
Trader's Journal will notify you if it wishes to publish your article. We will not return
submitted articles from the authors.
