5 Ways Twitter Can Make You a Better Trader
-
#3 Network With Other Traders
Twitter gives you great exposure to other traders. Most traders are alone in front of a computer screen -- cut off from the actions of other traders. Seeing streaming trades, commentary, technical analysis, etc., on the stocks you are following adds a new dimension to trading.
What's more, using Twitter to get immediate feedback from other traders can keep you from making that bad trade that ruins your week. The trick is to find the right people to follow and stream their tweets in TweetDeck. You can even select specific individuals to stream in a custom group. This allows you to filter out any unnecessary chatter and focus on the traders you want to network with.
