Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't a specific mention of where metals and agricultural commodity traders chat online. However, in the oil and gas sector, platforms like ICE chat are commonly used, as you mentioned. For other commodities like metals and agriculture, traders often rely on informal communication channels such as emails, phone calls, and even verbal agreements to conduct business. The nature of these industries emphasizes direct relationships and trust, so much of the interaction happens through personal networks rather than public or centralized online platforms.
If you're looking to connect with traders in these sectors, you might consider joining industry-specific forums, LinkedIn groups, or attending networking events to build those relationships.

once you get well acquainted, brokers might add you to whatsapp groups. most substantial discussion happens via personal phones or in person.
