# Token Symbol Detection

***Note:** This function is only available on the FlashX Extension version.*

## **Overview**

FlashX integrates with **X (formerly Twitter)** to automatically detect and display token symbols that have the **$** sign in tweets. This feature allows users to seamlessly track, analyze, and trade tokens directly from X (Twitter) without having to leave the platform.

## **How It Works**

FlashX automatically scans tweets for **token symbols** that are preceded by the **$** sign (e.g., `$JUP`, `$SOL`, `$ETH`). Once detected, the system highlights these symbols and makes them clickable, allowing users to easily access real-time data and take trading actions.

## **Key Features**

1. **Automatic Token Symbol Detection**:
   * FlashX detects any **token symbol** preceded by the **$** sign in tweets (e.g., `$JUP`, `$PNUT, $ETH`).
   * The detection is automatic and only works with symbols that include the **$** sign.
2. **Clickable Token Symbols**:

   * Once a token symbol is detected, users can **click** on the highlighted symbol to view detailed information about the token.
   * After clicking the token symbol, users can choose a token pair to view the trading chart and initiate a trade.  &#x20;

3. **Actionable Features**:

Once the token is detected and its data is displayed, users can:

* **Buy/Sell**: Search for a token and select a trading pair to view the chart and start trading on FlashX.
* **Long/Short**: If you have an active position with the token in perpetual trading, the **Long/Short** button will be available for you to take action.
* **Chart**: Search for a token pair to access the chart, perform technical analysis, and view the latest transactions, top holders, etc.&#x20;
