Getting Edge Using News & Twitter Trends
In prediction markets, speed equals money. Spotting a story before the crowd means better odds.
Follow the Right Feeds
Track accounts like @PolymarketHQ, @DecisionDeskHQ, and @ESPNStatsInfo for early signals.
Build a Fast Workflow
- Use TweetDeck to track keywords like "BTC ETF approval" or "Ethereum upgrade."
- Set Google Alerts for breaking news.
Spot the Lag
Markets often take 10–30 minutes to price in new info — use that window.
Use Sentiment Tools
GDELT and MarketSentiment.io help you quantify trends before they go mainstream.
Avoid FOMO
Once CNN covers it, your edge is gone. Focus on first-wave sources.
Final Thoughts
You're not just trading data — you're trading belief. Learn to see shifts before others do.
