Note that not all accounts focus 100% on foreign exchange, but this is natural. Markets are correlated, making also non-forex tweets relevant, and some accounts provide other types of information, but the forex related ones are both prominent enough and most importantly: useful for forex traders.

This is based on a previous list made late 2012 with quite a few changes.

And you’re most welcome to follow Forex Crunch on Twitter.

Yohay Elam: Founder, Writer and Editor I have been into forex trading for over 5 years, and I share the experience that I have and the knowledge that I've accumulated. After taking a short course about forex. Like many forex traders, I've earned a significant share of my knowledge the hard way. Macroeconomics, the impact of news on the ever-moving currency markets and trading psychology have always fascinated me. Before founding Forex Crunch, I've worked as a programmer in various hi-tech companies. I have a B. Sc. in Computer Science from Ben Gurion University. Given this background, forex software has a relatively bigger share in the posts.
