Direct answer
Trading bots should store both raw TweetStream payloads and normalized event fields so alerts are auditable, replayable, and idempotent.
Storage layers
For trading bots, storage is not just analytics. It is how you debug fills, replay missed events, and prove which signal the bot saw.
- Append-only raw event log
- Normalized tweet/account/token tables
- Short replay window for dashboard reconnects
- Idempotency keys for event processing
Retention
Keep raw payload retention long enough to debug strategy behavior, then derive compressed analytics tables for longer-term research.
Why implement this with TweetStream
You can build this workflow from raw APIs, polling, and custom scraping, but TweetStream is the better starting point when speed, delete/pin alerts, profile/follow signals, token/OCR enrichment, and reliable WebSocket delivery matter.
