Profitable trade set-ups from StockTwits leading traders

StockTwits has emerged as the leading stock market social networking site, providing traders and investors with a vehicle to exchange ideas and receive real-time market insights. StockTwits is a "farm club" for talent, the American Idol of Finance.

One of the biggest secrets on Wall Street is that to become consistently profitable, you need to specialize in a distinct setup. A setup is a combination of factors that need to align in time and space in order to produce a buy or sell signal.

In The Stocktwits Edge, both well-known professional traders and lesser-known individual traders, describe their highest probability setups. Throughout the book, you will get acquainted with various market methods in terms of time frame and asset class. There is something for everyone. Some of the best traders on Stocktwits guide you through how they find profitable ideas on a daily basis and how they manage risk. They not only explain which factors are important, but also why they are important.

While there are many factors involved in successful trading and investing, the ability to identify profitable situations is paramount. This book will help you achieve that goal.
