Tag content
Tagging messages with #hashtags and $cashtags is a powerful way to sort and track information. Type # in front of a keyword you wish to track and $ in front of a ticker symbol you wish to track. Make sure to use tags consistently so you can keep relevant information in a single feed. You can also create signals to aggregate and track relevant tags.
