The impact of social media in various walks of life is a well-known fact. And the busy and lucrative forex trading is not immune to the charm exuded by social media. From being thought of as a traditional trading platform, solo investors now have turned to social media networks to get the best of market strategies right from the experts.
Increasing Popularity of Social Networks
While individual trading made up a good amount of the daily forex trading, the advanced trading websites also termed as social trading networks help users to get ideas from top traders in the industry, swap proposals, and also assess the market trend while chatting online with the communities. There is an increase in the number of traders who connect up broker accounts with the various social trading networks present online. Traders generally need to subscribe to such a service and the broker along with the social network usually shares revenue from the trades.
Advanced Trading Choices
With sites like Facebook and Twitter attracting huge number of online users, this evolving social media platform has been capitalized on by forex users by adding charts, tools, forums, and news feeds on the networks to increase the benefits received by the end user. When a top forex trader makes his trades visible, it is possible to amass great numbers of followers who want to see a similar success by copying the strategies the trader uses. Sites like iForex have tremendous tools and resources that benefit forex traders immensely. When such sites have a dominant presence in the social networks the benefits traders receive is apparently more.
Facebook and its Hold
Facebook with its millions of follower base is widely used by Forex Brokers. Advanced API features and the capability to create new applications makes Facebook a very advantageous place for forex traders. To get guidance on your forex trading using sites that have a strong presence in Facebook like iForex helps in getting comprehensive resource guidance. A prudent and successful broker makes use of a wider strategy in social marketing, thus allowing traders to connect either in a trading site or in a forum. The main areas that Facebook is used in forex trading include research, commentary, announcements, distant and close trade interaction, and market data events. Facebook especially has a stronger interaction when compared to Twitter.
Twitter Trading Benefits
Twitter is another popular platform that gives instant access to traders who want to get hold of quick information. Making good trading decisions is easy with Twitter. The live communication present gives a trader access to a highly skilled trading community, if he has an account and follows the appropriate people.
Mostly traders do not use Twitter properly to get the full benefits. The best way to get this is by sending links, interacting, and posting valuable information. Twitter is also very useful for survey on how the trading website is received by the traders. Better web designs and more useful information can be added on by using the survey.
Social networks are all about sharing which has turned out to be highly beneficial for the forex trading community who are in search of resources and techniques and want to share information with other traders and get to learn about the current trends in the forex market.

You are right, social media had a great influence on forex trading, especially when it comes to exchange of information, I still think we can take more leverage through social media, especially Youtube.

Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube are great places to learn trading, along with Twitter and Facebook. I think it has actually made trading and investing a lot more accessible to people, especially women.

Hi George,
Fantastic post and so much to learn about forex trading.
Today Social media is a popular thing for any business.
Because forex is getting more and more exposure these days I find that there are many forex “experts” and “gurus” on the various social media channels trying to sell traders their latest silver bullet.
There are also sites like eToro, Mql5.com (the MetaTrader social network, MetaTrader is one of the most popular trading platforms that brokers use), Ninja Trader and one that I’m still getting familiar with, that are combining social media and trading platforms making it easier for new traders to make money.
I think that the jury is still out on whether any of these actually helps individual traders give up their day jobs or just create revenue for the creators of the platforms but it certainly is a full time job for any affiliate marketer who wishes to enter this industry to review these platforms and earn a commission from referring new traders.

Hi Haroun,
Anyone who risks money on Forex needs to know what they’re doing. They better be cautious about whose advice they take. The only risk most people should take on Forex is as an affiliate getting paid to find others to risk it.

I concur. I started out in the forex niche seeing it as just that a niche that I as an affiliate could promote affiliate offers on. Because I saw many scams and over priced “education” packages, I felt that the best way I could be an authentic affiliate was if I learnt how to trade myself.
I’ve learnt that the art of trading is to learn how to manage the risks that every trader encounters and especially manage the mental stresses that come along with the game.
I’m grateful that the affiliate commissions I’m earning are supporting my lifestyle while I learn the art of trading. I have no doubt this is a safer way to mitigate those risks.

Though social trading has grown exponentially in the last 5 years but traders still relied on forums and discussion groups for trading ideas. But if the traders use these social platforms properly, they will get ample ideas for forex especially stocks, indices and commodities. A very good social trading network I had used in the past was http://finprotrading.zulutrade.com/ Zulutrade bridges the gap between valuable information in money markets and trade execution.

I agree with George, a lot of the “newer” business have been able to grow and develop at a faster rate by being able to use social media, not only to promote themselves but to communicate and take on board what their target audience had to say to say about them. An invaluable source of market research that “older businesses did not have the luxury of. Great post and good to see how Forex is using social media.
