Accessing Symbolik Social
To access Symbolik Social, go to https://Symbolik.com/social and log in with your existing Symbolik.com username and password.
Or, you can use the Symbolik Social integrated directly within the Symbolik charting application by clicking the Social button in the right side Action Bar.
Creating Posts
You can quickly communicate with other Symbolik users by creating a post from anywhere on the desktop or mobile site via the blue “New post” button. When the Create new Post module appears: Create a title, complete the body of your post and add related categories if desired.
You'll notice that the placeholder text for the post body mentions #hashtags and $symbols. Each of these, in addition to categories, will make your content easier for other users to find.
- Categories are entered in their own field when creating a new post (see above). Adding categories allows you to tag your post with a high-level description of the content. This could include things like Idea, Education, Bullish, Bearish, Neutral, etc. Think of categories as an organizational tool across the platform to describe the general theme of your content.
- #Hashtags are similar to Categories and can be made using any word or combination of words. As with other platforms, these are generally used to highlight elements within your content. To create a hashtag, just begin by entering the # character followed by your word or phrase (without spaces), then select the hashtag of your choice within the resulting dropdown.
- Sharing a chart, news article, or thoughts on a specific symbol? Make sure to add those $Symbols by entering the $ character followed by the symbol or company name and selecting the desired symbol from the dropdown menu.
