The sites and tools I use
“These are the sites I actually use.”
TradingView, Robinhood and Schwab are my referral links. If you sign up through TradingView or Robinhood, the company may give me a reward. Schwab pays me nothing for it, and may give you a bonus under its own terms.

This is what I watch, read and use, shared as my own process. It is not advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.
