Rather than fill my books with links that end up becoming out of date a month after publication, the resources page should (hopefully!) be relatively up-to-date.
I’ll add more resources here as and when they come to my attention. If you are a representative of a resource you think would be useful to smart traders, feel free to email me to request inclusion, but please bear in mind I won’t list any firm here unless I have had a chance to get some personal experience with it first.
Windows Machines: If you don’t want to use, or can’t use, the built in screen rotation functions, then here’s a free utility that will turn your screen upside down: iRotate
Macs: All Macs have built-in screen rotation, but it can be a bit fiddly to use. Here’s a free utility you can download which will make the process easier: Display Rotation Menu
I’ve recommended a set of CDs called Brain Evolution in the past. I’ve had success with them, and readers of my earlier books have also written to me to tell me they found them useful. You can download the first 30 minutes for free, and honestly that’s probably enough for most people.
An alternative lyric-less music source I’ve been using recently is super-slowed music. If you search YouTube for 800 slower songs you’ll find a huge amount of popular music that has been slowed down by 800%. At that speed, the lyrics essentially disappear. If you want to make your own super-slow music, you can use the free tool Paulstretch – it’s what most of those videos were created with.
Cross platform app freedom.to works on Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS (iPhone and iPad). You can edit your own block list of sites you need to keep away from, and you can schedule blocking in advance. Scheduling is a great idea because it’s easier to do when you’re not in trading mode.It’s like hiding the packet of cigarettes when you don’t feel like smoking. Freedom is free on the basic plan, and there are paid plans with more features.
For Mac users, an alternative is Self Control.
A word of warning: take care with these apps. They can survive a reboot of your computer, so if you need access to sites in an emergency you might find yourself out of luck!
Know of something that should be included here? Email me to and let me know! I’m always on the lookout for productivity tools for traders.
Now you've read my book, you know how important trade logging is to success in the markets. Rather than reinvent the wheel and come up with your own design, why not use my proven and time tested logging system? The Official Harvey Walsh Trading Journal includes enough pages to record all your trading activity every working day for a full three months. It's all set up for gamification and reward system hacking, too. A real time-saver.
