Got a burning question? Can't work something out? Confused about what instrument to trade or something strange that's happened on a particular trade? Ask The Trader!
Our Ask The Trader section gives you access to TIC members who are Active Traders and are willing to share their experience and help. Any successful trader's had a load of questions as they learn the ropes and no matter how experienced you are there are always new situations and new questions.
We'd like to encourage anyone to throw a question out there. But of course a similar question may have been answered already, so have a look below to see what questions and answers have already been addressed.
Here's how it works:

- There's no fee required to Ask The Trader but you need to be registered on the TIC site first. If you're not logged in already you'll be asked to Log In or Register first. Check out our Membership Information for more details.
- Once you've submitted your question our Active Traders will see it and be able to submit answers.
- Also, bear in mind that you could get a few answers from different traders.
