What resources do you use in your trading? By that I mean what do you use to help your trade decision-making process? I’m including things like information sources (websites, newspapers, blogs, etc.), charting packages and data sources, screeners/scanners, advisory services, or anything else that falls into the resources category.
To get things started, I’ll share the things that I use on a regular basis. Granted, I do this for a job. They include:
- ThomsonOne for real-time charting, quotes, and company specific news
- DailyGraphs, a wider and more detailed version of what can be found in IBD.
- Metastock for daily and longer-term charting.
- CNN and Bloomberg for general news.
- Sierra Chart for price distribution charting.
- TradeWeb for live Treasury market prices and rates.
What about you? Let me (and your peers) know what your find useful for your trading.
