bloomberg FT tweetdeck with the usual roster & flavor/theme of the day accounts cnbc infotertainment dailymail for general pop culture/ sentiment measuring whatsapp latest publications crypto discord what colleagues, acquaintances old and new, random ppl are up to even the price of grass-fed milk in the grocery store because inflation data point lol it's like that adage of youtube that says a few hundred hours of video are uploaded there per MINUTE, constantly, so even if you constantly watch the best content (non-negligible search time notwithstanding), you're still 'lagging' given the constant never-ending stream of content...but that said most of the youtube content is not relevant/ helpful to most people so the search bar quickly filters out stuff with news flow, articles, etc, especially the info streams per above, however, esp. when it's constantly of the BREAKING NEWS variety, even the time it takes to skim/ scan something adds up, as you have to constantly pause, scan, quickly analyze/ figure out whether it's rubbish vs. not so relevant vs. potentially relevant at some point in the future and thus deserves a cursory read if there's time vs. to read and store for short term vs. to read multiple times/ take notes for long term & to do that constantly for all the info streams takes effort, and lots of mental focus to not get side tracked too so how do y'all stay on top of everything all the time, preferably while staying mentally sharp, so that you can act/ make the best decisions after you've acquired all the best up-to-date info? my solution so far has been STRONG coffee, lol & jotting things down on paper which helps refine my thoughts also what other info sources have you found to be particularly helpful for added data streams/ insights on the markets?
%% THAT; paper notebook/charts+ more charts. Coffee + tomatoe juice + 8 glasses of water/walk several hours a week. Monthly charts IBD WSJ newspapers, older IBD + WSJ newspapers.I try to move around every hour but that's an easy goal to not make \LOL Dr Reginald Cherry said'' i dont like the saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away/ he likes 2 apples a day'' LOL 200 red or green dma helps
%% I take a multi-vitamin; they are so cheap + spare parts for a body are so expensive. Mountain+ valley ranges[pictures] on a perpetual calander may not really predict/\ but helpful anyway..........................................................................
I only trade one instrument , a good trader knows what to ignore which is almost everything, I also am very quantitative and intuitive and believe there really isn't anything to keep up with
I never look at any of that stuff. I have a vague idea what the mood of the moment is, but nothing more. I'm watching what traders are actually doing. That is news you can use.
I just channel my intuition and listen to my 10 year old girl telling me what is going on in her world.
