Below is a list of free tools that I have used and found useful at any point in time in my trading journey:
Finviz.com – I use this everyday for it’s free stock screener. there is also a paid ad free version with extra bells and whistles but I’ve never made the leap
stockcharts.com – their free ChartSchool is a great start for all things technical analysis
https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html (LightShot) – free screen shot tool. create a folder and take pictures of every single one of your trades to improve and look back on
tweetdeck.twitter.com – the best and worst tool on the internet. you can get access to some of the best traders in the world **but please be very very cautious who you give your hard earned money to from there
chatwithtraders.com – you aren’t doing yourself any favors if you don’t listen to people that have done what you are trying to accomplish
traderfeed.blogspot.com – can’t say enough amazing things about this blog that has been going strong since 2005. Steenbarger’s blog and books transformed the way I thought about and approached trading
futurestrader71.com/video-archive – no one explains probabilities as well as FT71 & if you trade futures his free material is a must (check out his chatwithtraders interview as well)
Books – there are tons of great trading books but these are the ones I’ve read more than once and will likely read again in the near future
- Market Wizards Series – Schwager (the original chatwithtraders)
- The Daily Trading Coach – Steenbarger
- Trading In The Zone – Douglas
- One Good Trade – Bellafiore
- Trade Your Way To Financial Freedom – Tharp
- Come Into My Trading Room – Elder
- Secrets To Emotion Free Trading – Levin (focuses on visualization techniques so may be woowoo to some)
- Trend Following – Covel
Not specifically about trading but great books that helped me along the way
- Think and Grow Rich (TAGR) – Hill
- Mastery – The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment – Leonard
- The Power of Self-Discipline – Tracy
- The Power of Habit – Duhigg
