The block and mute functions work as a second wall to your (I would hope, already hardened) BS filter. With proper use of the site most of this is avoidable. Anyone who remembers, or has read old AOL and Yahoo type trading forums/chatrooms from early 90's-2001 will know this is nothing new. StockTwits, while a sound platform for the most part, is no exception to the odd user(s) trying to offer a service, touting the best stock to “BUY right now!!!” or claiming they’ve made excessive gains in a very short amount of time. Here are some links for ideas on who to follow:Īnything market or finance related comes with its fair share of lies, deceit and bullshit. E.g if you’re a perma-bear with a hatred of the Fed, it’s usually a good idea to follow some perma-bulls who ignore the Fed for a bit of an “outside” look. I would also suggest following people outside your normal market or analysis network to get a grasp of what others are saying. Probably the most important thing to do is determine your preferred style and follow people with a similar view. Follow the right people, mute the wrong people These tips should help out with getting the most out of StockTwits. You’ve just signed up or you’ve been lurking for a while, you want to take the plunge and get involved. While all the screenshots here are for desktop, most of the tips listed are transferable to the mobile application. This will not be for everyone and anyone who can sign-up can figure all of this out pretty quickly. Maybe even some users who have considerable market knowledge, yet not really got to grips with some of the things the site can do.

If used correctly.īelow I am going to list some things that new users with very little trading experience may find useful. There is no denying it can be a great tool to add to your trading toolbox.
