4 Forex Social Networks to Try in 2024

With Forex social networks numbering as many as millions of members, it means a high popularity among traders. There are many communities of traders, but not all of them can be considered social networks of traders. To be considered a social network, a trading website should provide opportunity to share trading results, follow, compare, and analyze (with a very high level of detail) various trading systems and, finally, socialize to share their sentiment about the current market situation.

The landscape of the social networks dedicated to trading changes yearly. Old social networks go and new ones emerge. The list of the noteworthy Forex social networks as of 2024 consists of four websites:

TradingView

  • Year of launch: 2012
  • Similarweb rank: 211
  • Millions of members and charts.
  • Features: advanced charting tools, custom chart scripting, voting system.

TradingView is the youngest of the Forex social networks presented here. The website is now a staple for chart sharing in financial trading and investment. It offers traders an opportunity to share their ideas in the form of complex charts with a range of graphical tools and also with a text description. Other traders can subscribe to those who post and can vote for the best charts. Chart gems such as this are one of the reasons to visit TradingView from time to time even if you are not a member and do not plan becoming one. Unfortunately, it does not offer automated trade-copying as of now. You can also follow my TradingView profile if you are interested in chart pattern trading.

reddit.com/r/Forex

  • Year of launch: 2009
  • Similarweb rank: 17 for reddit.com, not available for subreddits
  • 384,000 subscribers
  • Features: Reddit's voting and reputation system.

reddit.com/r/Forex — the Forex subreddit isn't as big as the largest Forex forums and is much smaller than the WSB subreddit, but it still provides the main function of a Forex social network — an opportunity to share and follow the ideas. Even though it is flooded with newbie questions and recycling of the same content, Reddit's voting system usually helps to sort out worthy ideas from junk.

Note: Previous versions of this list included such social networks as Currensee, FxBees, FXTavern, MeetPips, and StockTwits. They are all gone now as the field is consolidating with the biggest players getting bigger while the underdogs fail to capture the traders' attention consistently. FXSTAT, also previously included, does not show activity since 2023 either on their forum or in terms of EA/traders tracked. This makes it useless as a social network for traders, therefore it was removed from the list.

If you want to say something or ask a question about any of the mentioned Forex social networks or about some other related website, please use our Forex forum to do so.
