The number of my Twitter friends has just exceeded 1000.  85% of them are traders and investors alike.  For people who are not very familiar with Twitter, here is a starter.  Twitter is a micro blogging service that allows people to publish 140 characters at a time.  You can follow anyone to receive his/her tweets that might interest you.  And you can unfollow them if you do not like them. It is similar to a chat room since you can publish your thoughts to everyone in a room.  It is different than a chat room because you only follow the tweets of the people who you like.  There are a lot of celebrities such as Obama, Britney and so many others who are on Twitter.  It looks like everyone is tweeting.

I use Twitter mainly for trading.  99% of my tweets are trading related.  I might need to change that a little bit. For example, I could tweet a bit more about cooking,traveling and my home country Japan. There are quite a few good traders on Twitter. You can check out what they think about the markets easily by following them. I have learned a lot of things too on Twitter by interacting with other traders. Stock markets are changing every day. We need to adapt to the changes. Twitter is a very dynamic and vibrant community.

I would like to apologize to some of my followers if I can not anwser your questions quickly during the market hours.   Day trading requires a lot of concentration since I need to capture very small moves with laser point accurcy.   Once an opportunity slips through my fingers,  it will never come back.  There might be only one or 2 opportunities to open a profitable day trade in the entire session.  Therefore, I post only my day trade entries and exits in real time during the market hours.  I will answer your questions after the market is closed.  Thank you for your understanding.

As with all other social networking sites such as Myspace or Facebook,  Twitter  might be blocked at your work site.
