The FTC might also say that you are trading on your own inside 
information.  Make sure that you disclose your position, if any, and 
any intended trades. 

Some writers have gotten into trouble this way.

make too much profit on it. However, I was thinking about selling a 
service which would email alerts to my members. However, if I had 100 
members and they all bought at within 5 minutes, it would probably 
drive the price of gold up about $5 or $10. Since I would have bought 
first, I would make a lot of money by just selling as soon as gold 
goes up because my members are buying. Now, the price drops $10 back 
to where is was. I have a lot of unhappy members who will quit my 
service.

if someone develops a winning system, they would be able to make 
their money using it, rather than selling it? I would love to buy a 
system that would help my trading.
