user38: Twice today have I seen questions that I consider related to the trader/trading sphere. Which started me questioning about whether traders/trading questions in general should be considered Off-Topic.
I'm really not sure they are appropriate for this site.
Personnally, I even think they could be redirected to the Finance dedicated StackExchange site: Quantitative Finance https://quant.stackexchange.com/
I have not, but I was hesitating to suggest closing both questions as off-topic here. So I'd like to discuss if my point of view is shared: that traders and trading question are not legitimate subjects and such questions should be closed.
Should we allow such questions ?

user250: This is a site about the Cardano platform, not the crypto market. I would not think price/trading questions are relevant for this site.
Market changes and commentary are usually ultra-time sensitive and therefore would be out of date quickly. By contrast the platform itself will be largely static and the questions here will generally serve the Cardano development community.

user399: I hope not. That will drag the quality of the Q&A site down because of its speculative and flame-war-inducing nature. I would suggest keeping this site for purely technical questions used by operators and developers, however I could understand questions regarding papers etc...

user281: In the two cases listed

Value behind ADA - is both opinion and changeable
Why parabolic vs exponential - not ADA specific, no definitive answer

I would push both of the above to Reddit, Discord or Telegram
Suggested key criteria

Question is not Cardano/ADA specific - reject or edit to make it Cardano specific
Answer is temporary or changeable - suggest alternate service (Reddit?) - vote to close
Question and answer are opinion based - suggest Reddit or link to external resources

Off-topic

Pricing/Market questions

Grey-areas

Comparisons with other block-chains

NOTE: I will edit this based on comments and their support.

user98: I feel like a lot of trading type questions are very subjective and would tend to be more applicable to that current moment in time than something useful to someone using this stack exchange site further down the road. I know a lot of opinion based questions were allowed in stackoverflow initially, but then later closed as off topic.
I personally see this site as a place to ask about the development of the protocol.  That being about questions regarding security, writing smart contracts, maybe even how to run a pool, etc.  Those seems like topics to me that would enable a concrete answer instead of what type of trade someone should make or the technical analysis of the charts.
