Have you noticed how many people are happy to tell you what happened? While macroeconomic news and previous day post analysis can be useful, it certainly doesn't help you make a trading decision based on current charts.
I have a little proposal to make.
Instead of tweeting that you've opened a long or short position provide some information that other people can use to apply their own strategies. Frankly, I don't care what crappy decisions others are making. I care what the charts are saying. I'll do my own technical analysis and decide on my own trades.
So, tell me that a pattern is forming on a named pair's chart in a certain timeframe. For example, right now the AUDJPY is retesting May highs of 76.00 and obviously this is true on any chart -- though you may need a longer chart to actually see it.
Then, I can whip open my chart, draw some lines, figure out a strategy, and trade on the opportunity.
To summarize, we need to tweet about opportunities that are shaping up. We need to just drop each other a note that something is happening. Anybody who has traded for any length of time can figure out what to do -- but unless we have the luxury of trading full time we just can't spot all the opportunities.
In short. Smarten up and stop trying to show the world how damned smart you are. We don't care!
How about we call this the Useful Forex Tweet Agreement (UFTA).
UPDATE: I've tweeted the AUDJPY information (again) using the #ufta tag...
