Ive been trading forex for quite a while now. Ive learned from many sources and have read about forex programs that could
make you great amounts of money perday.

Ive looked through the web and see that there are so many programs but just dont know which one to choose.

Ive also looked at clickbanks product and saw a while range of forex bot and automation stuff.
Thus, I was wondering if any of you could point me to a good one.

Also please provide some suggestion for which type as well.
thanks very much

Yes, I follow some very impressive traders on twitter, including the expert currency trader Ashraf Laidi (@alaidi) and Brian Shannon (@alphatrends) and their advice has helped me a lot. Of course, I do my own charts, etc, but it helps to be able to bounce ideas off of these experts.

The problem with StockTwits is that anybody can post anything, so the amount of tweets gets pretty high, but they have a "recommended" list to quiet that down considerably. In order to avoid Pump/Dumps, they filter out all "penny" stocks. Actually, the thing about StockTwits I like the most is the SPX/INDU/COMPX chart they have there that is updated (which was actually my idea).

I also post my trades there publicly, which helps to keep me disciplined (e.g. I don't hide my losers).

If yer dumb enough to get snowed by Twitter, yer gonna get snowed -somehow-. That includes blindly following advice by Cramer, or the Gorilla, or SeekingAlpha, or ONN, or the Fool.

The idiot isn’t the one that speaks, it’s the one that listens. And IMHO gets what he deserves…

Do your own work or find somebody that does.

Are you for real? You dont even read the logic of your own post You falsely attempt to inflame the fact there was an attempted motive into to the nature of a pump and dump scheme assertion and apply it with what was in fact a mere public health announcement release by FDA on the dangers of the nasal spray recall that got posted on StockTwits-no more. I saw it and was busy with my trades meaning no one suggested doing anything as far as raiding it. If one got that idea fine I overlooked it which means it was never even hinted at. It was up to the viewer.

Perhaps it reveals more of your outlook on this sort of thing as isolated to message mediums but common place as a result of your own cynicism and lack of knowledge of what we do there. Why is that? Why don't you research the real manipulators of MSM such as Jim Cramer and Warren Buffet et al. on that freak circus CNBC. I suppose you would have us trust them instead of the hard honest work we do on StockTwits, i.e. share ideas with much hard sought due diligence.
