trade MONSTER announced today that it has launched a new product that allows users of their platform to make Twitter posts with one click. Any quote, trade or potential trade will now become possible fodder for a 140 character thought train by the user. A message is automatically generated by the system, but can be edited by users.

"Investors love to share trading ideas with the community of their choice, but don’t want to be confined to their online broker’s internal forums and discussion boards. tradeSHARE gives investors that choice," said Jon Najarian, co-founder of optionMONSTER and trade MONSTER.

The trade MONSTER team published a short movie showing how the integration works. The action look slick, pre-loading all the relevant details and yet still allowing you to comment on a trade. It should appeal to the broad army of Twitter users posting picks and trades on a daily basis.

No word yet whether smaller competitors like optionshouse, optionsXpress (OXPS) or larger brokerages like TD Ameritrade (AMTD) or Schwab (SCHW) will offer similar integration with the social networking service.
