I also like to monitor chat rooms during the trading day.
Usually I simply put the stocks that are mentioned in the room into my own charts in order to determine if they are interesting using MY criteria.
There are a few good chat rooms out there but be aware of the “bad” ones. A good chat will not only provide you with profitable trades but also offer education and an exact explanation of why the trades are entered. A “bad” chat room will simply tell you “enter now – exit now” without you knowing why. They often trade stocks that are moving way to fast. Don’t even attempt to make a profit in a room like this. It is simply impossible to follow someone else’s scalp trades.
Interesting chat rooms:
