Trader BOOM Community Guidelines & SEBI Compliance

Welcome to Trader BOOM. To maintain market integrity and protect retail investors, all users must strictly adhere to Indian securities laws, including the SEBI (Investment Advisers) Regulations and SEBI (Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices) Regulations.

By using Trader BOOM, you agree to obey the following rules. Failure to comply will result in an immediate, permanent ban and potential reporting to regulatory authorities.

1. Absolute SEBI Prohibitions (Zero Tolerance)

SEBI strictly prohibits unregistered individuals from swaying public investment decisions. Unless you are a SEBI-Registered Investment Adviser (IA) or Research Analyst (RA), the following actions are strictly banned on Trader BOOM:

No “Buy/Sell/Hold” Tips: You cannot post explicit recommendations to buy, sell, or hold specific stocks, options, or futures contracts (e.g., “Buy XYZ at 150, Target 180, SL 140”).
No Live Data in Educational/Analytic Videos: Per SEBI’s mandate on financial content, you cannot use live, real-time stock market data in informational, recorded, or live-streamed videos unless you hold an official SEBI license. Historical data or chart reviews must have a minimum 3-month lag to prevent disguised real-time trading tips.
No Target Pricing or Performance Guarantees: Do not post future price predictions, percentage gain promises, or absolute targets for any stock or index.
No “Premium” Groups or Hidden Monetization: You are strictly forbidden from using Trader BOOM to redirect members to external, private, or paid Telegram channels, WhatsApp groups, or websites offering stock tips or portfolio management services.
No Portfolio Management: You cannot offer to trade on behalf of someone else or manage another user’s funds.

2. Market Manipulation & Fraudulent Practices

Trader BOOM actively monitors the feed to prevent illegal market interference. The following activities will lead to an instant account termination:

Pump and Dump Schemes: Coordinating or inciting members to heavily buy illiquid, micro-cap, or penny stocks to artificially inflate the price is a criminal offense under SEBI law.
Spreading Unverified Rumors: Do not post unverified “insider news,” corporate earnings leaks, or speculative rumors regarding mergers, acquisitions, or board decisions before they are officially disclosed to the stock exchanges (NSE/BSE).
Fake Profit Screenshots: Uploading photoshopped, edited, or misleading profit-and-loss (P&L) statements to attract followers or project false authority is strictly prohibited.
Private Contact Links: Do not post your contact number or any social media link anywhere on the portal in any form like the text, number, words or in image or videos.

3. Mandatory Disclosures for SEBI-Registered Professionals

If you are an authorized professional trading or posting on Trader BOOM, you must maintain absolute transparency:

Profile Verification: You must prominently display your official SEBI Registration Number and registered legal name directly on your Trader BOOM bio.
Post Disclosures: Every single post containing a technical layout or market outlook must include a link to your full disclosure page, stating your personal/firm holdings in the discussed security.
No Brand Collusion: SEBI-registered professionals are barred from collaborating with or paying unregistered Trader BOOM creators to promote financial products, services, or platforms.

💬 4. How to Legally Discuss Markets on Trader BOOM

We want a booming, active community! You can absolutely still talk about the markets, provided you frame it as educational and analytical text rather than financial advice:

What is ALLOWED ✅	What is BANNED ❌
Sharing a chart layout focusing purely on standard technical patterns (e.g., “This asset is forming a double bottom pattern”).	Giving an entry point or telling people to jump into the trade (e.g., “Breakout happening now, load up on calls!”).
Discussing macroeconomic factors, corporate earnings results, or sector trends based on public news.	Claiming a company’s stock is “bound to double” because of an upcoming news event.
Sharing your personal, general observations or logging your own strategy for educational critique.	Pushing referral codes, broker affiliate links, or external paid courses in the public feed.
