Hey hey: what's up my friends, so in today's episode i want to share with you six six trading tools that will save you a ton of time right. So that's what we want right time! Money! Freedom right! So let me give you some time back all right on your own uh on your own live in your own life. Okay, number one! You want to have a trading watch list, so what do i mean by this is that i see a mistake that many traders make is that you know whenever they want to trade they just open up their charts. Let me see what pattern i can recognize and let's trade it all right.

Let me open up the trading view, the mt4, the mt5, and see what familiar pattern i can find, and i trade it. No! No! No! That's! That's! That's! That's ridiculous! That's no way to trade, the markets and you're going to waste a lot of time scouring through the charts trying to find patterns that make sense to you trying to satisfy your itchy fingers right and lose money okay. So what you want to do is to have a watch list depending on the type of trader you are for me, i'm a swing trader position trader. I have my watch list done every weekend on uh saturday.

Actually it's a friday. Okay and this watch list is actually to prepare me for the week ahead. So i know right out of the 40 markets that i trade, which are the ones to focus on for the coming week, and the watch lists don't have to be complicated right. First and foremost, you have to ask yourself what type of strategy are you trading? Are you trading breakouts of support resistance, maybe you're trading a reversal at support resistance? Maybe you're trading trends trend continuation trades, whatever the case is right, first and foremost before you do your watch list, you have to know what you're looking for.

So let's say you are trading trend. Continuation straight. You are buying pullbacks in an uptrend selling rallies in a downtrend and very simple in your watch list. You want to scan through the markets every weekend and see which markets are already trending, because those markets which are already trending chances are, they might present you a trading opportunity for this coming week, because it's already in the trend, it's in a market condition that you Want to be trading make sense or how about another example.

Let's say you trade reversal that support resistance, then clearly the markets in your watch list should be those markets which are approaching near support resistance, because that's where it's going to trigger you, a potential trading setup, make sense. Have a watch list number one? It's going to save you a ton of time right because you won't be all over the place. You won't be trying to find meaning right out of the noise out. There number two get a position: size calculator, some of you, i believe most of you are trading effects here.

There are so many position size, calculator out there, just google it right. You don't have to manually calculate it in your head or your calculator whatsoever, but i'm a bit old school. So i still have this this calculator here from time to time. I use it, but again you don't have to be like me right.

You can use those free position, size calculator out there and determine how many shares to buy how many units of currency to buy. That saves you a lot of time as well. Number three set price alerts, all right, so i'm not sure which platform you're using, but if you're on trading view, i believe the free plan they allow you to put in like uh two price alerts for free. So let's say you know you want to buy it.

Support you can set a a price alert at support - let's say 100 on amazon right and if the price reaches that 100 price point that you're looking at it will send an alert to your email, sms or something along those lines, all right so use price alerts. So this way you don't have to be glued to the screen all the time without blinking at night i just did yeah so yeah set price alerts right. It makes your life much easier and you don't have to be. You know wasting so much time.

You know staring at the damn monitors all right, so that's that's very useful as well. Number four have a trading journal because you're starting right without a trading journal. How are you going to improve on your trade and, if you don't have a trading journal, you'll find that you waste a lot of time trying to remember uh? What phrase did i put on last week, man uh? What trades did i put on the last two weeks come on? I can't even remember what i eat for lunch yesterday. Do you think you can remember the trades that you put on last week? Don't don't kid yourself so have a trading journal, so you don't have to waste time trying to think what i did last week or last last week right in your trading journal again, nothing too complex right! You want to put down the important matrix like your entry.

Your stop loss your profit in terms of r, like, for example, you risk one dollar. You make five dollars, there's a five hour, profit uh. You also want to screenshot the the charts right, the the the charts right when you took on the trade. What does the entry point look like and the the chart right when the trade is over, what the exit look like? Okay, and also uh, when you do your trading journal, you want to record down the uh type of trading setup that you trade.

Is it a breakout, a reversal, etc? So all this is right when you accumulate over time when you review makes the process makes your life so much easier. Okay trading journal number five right: this is a powerful one scanner, especially those of you who trade stocks right.

If you are, you know, if you want something, that's free. At least the platform is free, and if you trade stocks, u.s stocks, that platform is very powerful uh.

Another platform to mention right, if you want to scan, is a army broker. This is a paid version, but this one this time around army broker. You know, as long as you have the right data feed, you can scan the fx market stock markets uh almost whatever markets that you want, but it's more of the premium version and finally, the last thing right to make your trading life easier to help.
