Ok, now I've read everything, but I have one question, cuz I think I may have seen some discrepencies in places. If two newbs are trading with each other, will it count on their TR? If not, why not?

It won't, if you're both below two. I'd say as a general rule of hand, for traders below TR of 2, don't ever trade. Its not like you won't have a good trade, I'm sure you very well could but you've the security of trading with an established trader if you only trade above two, as well as you will get credit for your trades.

Nope it won't count, but only if they are both under +2 TR.
The reason is because there is a (somewhat) safeguard that (somewhat) makes it harder for people to be scammed. The mods can't be on the board 24/7 to monitor newbies so if newbies (under 2 TR)were allowed to trade with each other, someone else could just make 5 different accounts on here, trade with either himself, raise his TR (or try to) and then use that to take advantage of other newbies, or he could trade with newbies and scam them.

Oops, I must have hit something. Didn't need that quote. Alright, thank you.
Ok, another question in the same vein
If two newbs initiate a trade, but one of them gets 2 TR by the end of the trade, will it count?
