It improves visibility in a professional setup and lately, more and more forex traders have started to advertise their skills on Twitter and comment on trading strategies, market news that will affect economies, and give sound trading advice to followers.

These days, anyone with a smart device and internet access can follow traders on Twitter for free advice, inspiration, and trading manuals to pick up strategies, gain market information and refine their trading skills.
