I’ve been trying different ways to find the best investment ideas.
First I tried forums. They were often misleading and full of pump and dump schemes involving small cap stocks.
Then I tried paid chatroom services (MadazMoney, MyInvestingClub, Warrior Trading, etc.).
What surprisingly worked best for me was X.
I realised I could find the best traders with a proven public track record, follow them, and get their insights and trade ideas in real time.
So my workflow became something like this:
* Follow trader accounts on X
* Track their accounts over time (sometimes for years) to verify their track record
* When they mention a trade idea, review it against my own logic to sense check it
* Combine that with macroeconomic data to determine the best entry and exit points, and when market conditions are ideal
The hardest part is catching the best trade ideas early. The good ones get buried quickly in the feed.
So I ended up building a small tool for myself that monitors X and surfaces trade ideas when top accounts mention them.
Just sharing what worked for me.
Curious if anyone else here is using X to find trade ideas (or if it’s mostly Reddit), and what your workflow looks like.
