Thank you for this post, you have just said it all. I understand that the social media is littered with materials about trading and most of these are obsolete. What I do is to work out my strategy that will be in tune with present realities. I try to marry technical analysis to fundamental as both work hand in hand to govern the market.
Even doing this still exposes you to a certain level of reliance on the social media. We must all admit that the media really is a necessary evil and we can't deal on trading without them. Yes, it's a reasonable thing to sieve through the junk journalism to get a handle on the real thing this day. But how do you even do that when you don't know exactly what you're looking for?
