I used to spend days and nights searching for accounts to follow.
But I am back to zero and can't remember even one account worth my attention.
What accounts out there are interesting for traders ?
Especially for someone trading the ES future ?
I don't expect it to be my edge,
But it's to know what's in play.
Used to follow @ FastFT
And read their FirstFT,
Fast "Session" Open.
@ RANsquawk too..
On twitter, did you take a look at those that @FastFT and
@Ransquawk are following ?
Yet, it seems very strange you were following the above two if you're trading the Emini ES futures because RANsquawk mainly only talks about stocks and FastFT is like a news source that seems to cover anything and everything occurring in the world.
Maybe you should get more focus on your own via using something like
tweetdeck so that you can remove most of the noise on twitter and then use real-time streaming of key words of your choice for Emini ES futures. For example, maybe you're into news alerts considering you were following FastFT. You can then tag Emini ES with the key words "breaking news" or something like that to see what user (Emini ES trader) has posted a message with those key words in their message post. Another example, lets pretend you're into the key words "MACD indicator" and you can then see any real-time comments by any Emini ES trader that has posted a message with the words MACD indicator in the message post.
Another example because @fastFT is out of Europe...maybe you have a strong interest in European news and you can setup key words for specific types of news that you're interested in knowing about while you're trading the Emini ES futures.
You can even setup multiple columns of key word searches.
Next, you then review their message post history to determine if they are worthwhile to add to your follow list.
In addition, I recommend you also use
stocktwits with your twitter use and they have a
suggested list to help you get started until you find your own user names to follow. You can then take a closer look at the following list of those users you're looking at because the user may seem interesting at first but you may find others that's more interesting that the user was following.
You can also just follow the Emini ES traders as a group on stocktwits considering they don't make a ton of message posts each day. In comparison, trying to do the same on twitter without something like tweetdeck...anything useful will be lost in all that junk or noise that's own twitter. Essentially, twitter becomes
useless without a real-time filter like tweetdeck.
Good luck.
