I wrote a guide here on how to setup Twitter / Tweetdeck to have a clean and concise live streaming news feed that caters to Forex traders who are impacted by economic breaking news. How to setup Twitter to stream the latest currency and economic news in 2019 and 2020 I hope people find it useful and I'm looking for any feedback you might have regarding which sources might be good to add to the list I provided. Let me know what you think.
I stopped doing such thing decades ago. most news are slow inaccurate misleading confusing ... and are not meant for day traders. anyway all the best.
...but twitter wasn't even around decades ago.. I get what you're saying regarding news in general, but the idea here is less about 'trading' the news and more about having a source / feed to rip through once you see something spike in the market and don't know why.

Oh wow, crazy... I got this kinda setup recommended to me by a trader friend a while ago and found it useful, so I wrote out the details and shared it.. he must have gotten it from you. Nice.
To make money from it we need something faster than squawks. But idk what are their sources, do they aggregate around different sources, right? It's not first hand I mean released first in the internet
I don't think you can develop an advantage based on free Twitter sources. There is a reason professionals pay for audio squawk services or Bloomberg terminal. Not to mention that you will always be slower than algos reading the headlines. The best thing you can do, in my opinion, is to look for the reason of the move and decide if you want to go with the direction or fade.
