Do people on this forum talk on IM in realtime concerning possible/confirmed breakouts?
For example after receiving a notification from the Candlestick Recognition thread, you discuss it on IM? If not is anyone willing to create one?

Another option is Twitter believe it or not. What I do is use a program called TweetDeck, and then you create a Twitter stream based on key words such as eurusd, usdjpy, #forex, you name it… Then you find everyone discussing trading and voila! Even BabyPips is on Twitter, @BabyPips
I have long thought that a Twitter feed would be perfect for many of the strats discussed on forex forums. Instant posts that can relay right to cellphones and PDAs seems like a boss idea.
Boss indeed…but that means I have to get an account or some such business lol
Undoubtedly. I have all the IM services on my comp and do Facebook, but have yet to sign up for Twitter. I guess I could be the canary in the mineshaft for the babypips crew.
anyone ever use IRC ? And theres a chat room here on baby pips too, but you would have to schedule a meeting time
Yep IRC is great. Is there one for forex traders? Might be worth having one set up for everyone to join in!
Can IRC send SMS alerts to cellphones? I’ve never used it.
Not that I am aware of. It’s more of a log in and chat through client form I don’t think there is anything allowing sms alerts with it.
Dudes, I just registered with Twitter and we are way behind. There are TONS of forex alert and discussion feeds on Twitter already. I couldn’t even get a username that wasn’t already taken until about 50 attempts. :eek:
My second recommendation is to create a hash mark tag that you can share with other traders so you can identify with the baby pips community how to find everyone’s trade tweets. Maybe #BPips ?
I think it’d be a good idea. If created maybe even having it a sticky on the forums would be great. That way more people could get onboard and follow.
Twitter apps are also readily available for mobile devices to instant alerts in that fashion would work great. I’m an iphone user so those kinds of apps are plentiful.
I’m also signed up as FXTailgun and have subscribed to babypips, ForexCandle, FXStreetNews, ForexWire, twitforex and a few others (some of which look like nothing but sales feeds for courses and bots, etc).
I changed from alpine915 to a more fitting name, pipfarmer
