Trading room: how to take part

How to find and join a trading room, watch the owner's desk live, chat, watch lives and recordings, and copy a desk to your own layouts.

A room is a trader's space in SpreadFighter: their desk (a layout with charts, the order book, screeners), a chat and lives. You join a room and see the owner's desk on your own dashboard — with their lines and indicators appearing live. This article is for members. How to create and run your own room is covered in the owner's guide.

Find a room​

  • Catalog — the Rooms widget (in the dashboard widget menu it is also called "Rooms"). It lists open rooms and rooms by request that have passed our review: name, description, number of members, how many people are online now, language and access mode. At the top there is a search by name and a language filter; the list is sorted by number of members. The catalog is available on any plan and does not count toward your widget limit.
  • Room link — app.spreadfighter.com/r/<address>. The owner shares it: in Telegram, X and Discord it unfolds into a card with the logo, name and number of members.
  • Invite link — app.spreadfighter.com/r/i/<code>. This is how you get into a closed room: it is not in the catalog and does not open by its address.

Any of these links opens the dashboard with the room window: name, description, number of members and a join button.

Join​

Any signed-in user can join: no particular plan is needed for that. If you are not signed in yet, sign in right in the room window — with Google or MetaMask; the window stays open.

  • Open room — click "Join". The room's first desk opens.
  • Room by request — click "Send request" and, if you like, write the owner a few words about yourself (up to 300 characters). The request is reviewed by the owner or a moderator; the decision arrives by email and in the notification bell. After a rejection you can request again in 7 days.
  • Closed room — invite link only. There are two kinds of invites: "instant join" and "join by request" — with the second one you send a request, as in a room by request.

If you are already in the room, the link simply opens its desk.

note

Signed in with a wallet? Then room members will be able to see your wallet address. The room window warns you about this before you join.

In a room you appear under your public profile — a nickname and an avatar. The nickname is created automatically the first time you join: from the Latin letters and digits of your Google account name (if there are none — trader) plus a short random suffix, for example trader_3f2a. The avatar comes from Google.

Why you can't join​

MessageWhat it means
"Room not found or the link is no longer valid."Wrong address, the room was deleted or the invite was revoked. Ask the owner for a new link.
"You were removed from this room."The owner or a moderator banned you. You can't come back via any link.
"The room is full."The room has a member limit, and it is reached.
"You are already in the maximum number of rooms."Leave a room you no longer need.
"The room is frozen."The owner's Max plan has ended. The room does not accept new members.

The room button​

After you join, the room appears in the layout bar — a colored button with the logo and name to the right of your layouts. The first click opens the room's first desk, the next one opens the room menu:

  • the room's desks — switch between them;
  • "Copy desk to my layouts";
  • "Copy room link" — for an open room and a room by request this is /r/<address>; in a closed room only the owner and moderators have this item;
  • "Hide chat" / "Show chat";
  • "Leave room".

While the owner is live, a red dot blinks on the room button.

The owner's desk​

A desk is the room's layout. Only the owner builds and changes it; you see it on your side.

  • You can watch but not change it. You scroll the chart, change the zoom and timeframe, but the chart on a desk has no drawing toolbar and no symbol search: the owner sets the symbol. When they change the symbol, your chart switches too.
  • Drawings and indicators arrive live. The owner's lines, shapes and indicators appear on your side within 1–2 seconds, without reloading the chart. Along with an indicator's parameters comes its styling: line colors and widths, levels, fills.
  • Your scroll, zoom and timeframe are not reset when the owner draws something.
  • An indicator that is not on your plan won't appear on your chart.

Want to draw on top — copy the desk to your layouts.

Chat and "Lives"​

To the right of the desk is the room panel with two tabs: "Chat" and "Lives". Hide and bring back the panel with the cross in its corner or in the room menu.

Chat​

  • Enter to send, Shift+Enter for a new line. A message can be up to 2,000 characters. Messages are kept for 90 days.
  • Next to the nickname of the owner and moderators there is an "owner" or "moderator" label.
  • Links are clickable only in messages from the owner and moderators. In members' messages they are plain text.
  • There are no replies or reactions in the chat yet, and no images or files either.
  • Hover over someone else's message (on a phone the button is visible right away) — "Report".
  • Anyone who sends more than 10 messages in 10 seconds is muted for 10 minutes automatically. The owner and moderators can mute you for 1 hour, 24 hours or forever — then instead of the input field you will see until when the mute lasts. A mute does not remove you from the room: you still see the desk and the chat.

Lives​

The "Lives" tab holds the live recordings the owner has opened to members. While there are none, it says "The owner hasn't opened any recordings yet.".

  • Click a recording to watch it. A recording without a title is labeled with its date: "Live …".
  • The heart is a like; click again to remove it.
  • Below the recording are comments. You can delete your own comment; the owner and moderators can delete any.
  • When the owner opens a new recording, you get a notification.

The owner's live in a circle​

When the room owner goes live, you see their video and hear their voice in a circle on top of the platform — on any of your layouts, not only on the room desk. You don't need to connect: the circle appears on its own and disappears when the live ends. If the owner speaks without a camera, the circle shows the room logo.

  • Sound is off at first: the browser doesn't allow turning it on without your action. Click "Unmute" in the center of the circle.
  • Move it — drag the circle with the mouse or a finger.
  • Buttons under the circle (always visible on a phone, on hover on a computer):
    • "Mute";
    • "Size" — cycles through three sizes;
    • "Expand" — a 16:9 window, and back with "Back to circle"; a double-click on the circle does the same;
    • "Minimize" — into a "Live · room name" bar; click the bar to bring the circle back.
  • The browser remembers the position, size and view separately for each room.
  • A green outline means the owner is speaking right now.
  • Badges on the circle: REC — the live is being recorded, YT — it is also streaming to YouTube, +1, +2… — other rooms of yours are live too. The circle shows the live of the room whose desk you have open, otherwise the first of your rooms that is live.

Only room members see the live. If the connection drops, the circle reconnects on its own.

Notifications​

The bell in the platform header holds room notifications. The number on it is how many are unread (more than nine shows as "9+"). As a member you get:

  • your request was approved or declined;
  • a new desk in the room;
  • the owner went live — no more than once every 30 minutes;
  • the owner opened a live recording;
  • you were muted or removed from the room;
  • the room was frozen or is active again.

Click a notification to open the room or the right desk. "Mark all read" clears all of them at once. Notifications are kept for 30 days.

Copy a desk to your layouts​

Room menu → "Copy desk to my layouts". The desk you have open is copied to your layouts together with the owner's charts and drawings, named "Room · Desk". It is a regular layout of yours: you can draw on it and change the symbol and widgets.

  • Copying desks requires the Pro plan.
  • The copy is a snapshot at the moment of copying. The owner's new drawings don't reach it: for those, go back to the room desk.
  • If some chart was not copied, you'll see the message "Charts not copied: N".

On a phone​

On a phone the room desk is shown in the mobile shell, and a button with the room logo appears next to the layout selector — it opens the room menu at the bottom of the screen: desks, "Copy room link" (in a closed room, only for the owner and moderators), "Copy desk to my layouts" and "Leave room". Chat and "Lives" are behind the "Chat" button in the bottom bar, which shows the number of unread messages. On a phone, Enter in the chat adds a new line; send with the button next to the field.

The live circle works on a phone too: you move it with a finger, and the buttons under it are always visible.

Leave a room​

Room menu → "Leave room" and confirm. The room disappears from the layout bar, along with its desks, chat and lives. Copies of desks you have made stay with you.

You can come back to an open room via its link. To a room by request — by sending a request again; to a closed room — only with a new invite.

A frozen room​

If the owner's Max plan has ended, the room is frozen: the room menu shows the note "Room is frozen: the owner's Max has ended. Desks are read-only.". You still see the desk and the chat, but you can't post in the chat, and new members can't join. When the room comes back to life, you'll get a notification.

Rules and reports​

  • In rooms it is not allowed to promise income, sell "guaranteed signals" or collude on pumps.
  • The room owner is responsible for the room's content. Room materials are not investment advice.
  • Report this room — the link at the bottom of the room window, which opens via the room link or from the catalog while you haven't joined yet. Report a message — the button next to a message in the chat. Describe what is wrong — the report goes to us. The owner only learns that the room was reported, not who reported it.
  • For violations we may hide a room from the catalog or freeze it.
