Episode notes
Start With What You Actually Need
- Start with a platform that fits your real needs, not the most expensive or the free option for ego or price alone.
- Test TradingView's free plan first and upgrade as your requirements grow.
Less Chart Clutter Is Usually Better
- Most traders don't need many charts open at once unless they day trade intensely.
- Visual complexity often impresses but rarely improves decision-making.
Keep A Few Chart Layouts
- Save a handful of chart layouts for distinct strategies instead of dozens you won't use.
- Aim for five saved layouts (Essential) to cover most beginner-to-intermediate needs.
