The number of ticks is not a score. Any pass or fail item you cannot tick is a reason to stop and check.

Calculation Tools

Calculators handle break-even, profit, stake size, risk of a losing run and compound growth. They need only your figures. Start with the payout calculator and the position size calculator.

Record Keeping Tools

Journals and calendars record trades and events. A record lets you calculate a win rate and see how reliable it is. The trading journal tool and the win rate calculator work together.

Charting and Analysis Tools

Charting packages show prices and indicators. They help you look at data, but they do not remove uncertainty. See the technical analysis tools guide.

Information Tools

Calendars, news feeds and market hours tools tell you when markets are open and when data is released. See the market hours tool.

Practice Tools

Demo accounts and simulators let you practise without risk to money. See the practice trading app.
