I’ve been trying to find a setup that actually helps me stay organized without juggling 10 different tabs. Right now, I’m flipping between an economic calendar on one site, market hours on another, and then manually calculating lot sizes with a spreadsheet. It’s exhausting, and I feel like I’m wasting time that should go into planning trades. Do you guys stick to external tools, or do you rely on whatever the platform itself gives you?
I used to do the same, running around with multiple apps and bookmarks, but then I realized most of what I needed was already in one place. Having built-in calculators, calendars, and even simple charts saves a lot of hassle. For me, the fewer distractions, the better. On roboforex, I just open their tools section and check everything before placing a trade, and it actually feels smoother because I’m not second-guessing myself across different sources. The less cluttered the workflow, the more focused I stay.
It reminds me of when I started using a fitness app that had all the stuff in one dashboard — workout plans, nutrition tracker, even a timer. At first, I thought it was overkill, but then I realized it saved me from bouncing between random YouTube videos, recipe sites, and stopwatch apps. When everything you need is right there, it just feels easier to stick with the routine and not get distracted.
