Can you promote in r/algotrading?
A place for redditors to discuss quantitative trading, statistical methods, econometrics, programming, implementation, automated strategies, and bounce ideas off each other for constructive criticism. Feel free to submit papers/links of things you find interesting.
The short answer
Participate with technical, high-quality contributions and, if mentioning your product, disclose affiliation briefly and avoid promotional language, links, or calls to buy — ask mods if unsure.
What works here
- Technical explanations, code, papers, and implementation help
- Substantive discussion of tools, infrastructure, compliance, licensing
- Business or contractual questions (non-promotional)
- Open-source code/packages and informative resources
What gets posts removed
- Product/service announcements, ads, or affiliate/referral links
- Posts solely to drive traffic to your blog/YouTube/socials
- Soliciting users to PM/contact for details or customers
- Posting proprietary paywalled tools without methodology or code
