There is no one reason that traders love microblogging.

If there was, we would not have such a long list of suggested traders to follow. Our updated Suggested Lists have something for anyone that likes investing/trading and is interested in Stocktwits

Traders love chat, they love AIM, they love Twitter and now Stocktwits.

Traders and investors want flow. As the floors of the NYSE, CME and CBOE get distributed, the lightweight communication tools serve to re-aggregate.

I am surprised every time I open the ‘All’ Stream at Stocktwits. Lately, I have been amazed though at the growth of Futures and Forex Traders. One of my favorite voices is Hamzei of Hamzei Analytics . He loves tweeting, laughing, being social and also being right. None of us will always be right, but I know Hamzei is out there everyday in the electronic world as hard as he goes in the physical world. It may not be for you, but it’s just cool to watch.

Futures and Forex is a world that I don’t fully understand but I am trying to learn fast. Lucky for me there are a shitload of seriously good traders posting their thoughts. It’s like a flash community erupted.

Forex and Futures are truly the microblogging of the trading world.

In the world of e-mini’s, 5 minutes can be a lifetime.

It’s like the universe of time and investing shrunk to 5 minutes.

I would advise anyone wanting to see the power of time meets leverage, to follow some of the Futures and Forex people of our Suggested Lists.
