Traders - Must Follow X Accounts
These accounts are great for breaking news
So, yesterday was headline city again…
One bullish headline → aggressive rally on already-strong equities.
Then… another headline hit.
Gains gone. Anyone who bought the first news? Caught offside.
We dipped. Then ripped.
Finally this after the bell…
A proper rollercoaster!
X FOLLOWS
I know I sound like a broken record, but in this kind of environment, you must use a hard stop.
Mental stops won’t do sh*t when a comment catches you offside, before you can react, you’ll be down 5R.
Make it a habit… I want you liquid for the next bull run!
Now, talking of news… even if you’re not a “news trader”, I still think tracking how the market responds to headlines gives you a massive clue about sentiment.
So if you’re on X (Twitter), here are a few great follows for real-time news flow:

Handy.
