Pro Tips

1. Quality over quantity: One detailed thread earns more than five low-effort ones. Take time to add metadata, screenshots, and context.

2. Answer new threads first: Get in early with helpful replies before others do. First helpful reply often gets accepted answer status.

3. Build reputation: Higher reputation increases visibility, which means more upvotes and opportunities.

4. Specialize: Become known for expertise in one area (e.g., XAUUSD EAs, MQL5 coding, backtest analysis). Specialist answers get more upvotes.

5. Consistency wins: Daily check-in streaks and regular posting compound over time. 30-day streak bonus alone is 50 coins.
