Trading bytes from the Twitter-verse
These days, forex traders have a wealth of information at their disposal. Learning about the markets can be as simple as turning on the computer and searching for the information you require based on the keywords that you specify.
While Google can be a great tool for finding exactly what you are looking for, it’s not necessarily so good for discovering new and interesting things. Twitter on the other hand, has the potential to offer up new and relevant material that you would otherwise have missed.
Here are some words of wisdom taken directly from the Twitter universe:
