Great Poll! Thanks both FuManChou and Mike

For my German DAX pattern trading I read the numbers of US (previous day) plus the Asian movements. (on a german site)
The most important things for the day are the times of important announcements and speeches. Just for the risk management.

That simple.

Good trades

I do like this poll.

Interesting that, so far, only one person has said "Friends/Family Word of Mouth." Really?

Has human nature changed so much?

Maybe.

I have very few friends/acquaintances who have any interest in the markets. If they have investments they are usually managed accounts. The financial industry has convinced them that they are to dumb to look after their own money.

Old strategies knowledge given from old traders to young traders. After this it is analyzing the market structures and its coherence with the charts and current world politics, including the SV and IV in the preferred markets plus some specific information tools only available on the internet. This has nothing to do with "High Frequency trading" instead is a very old technique of positional trading, best done in calculated swings in the market.

Also, I don't look to find investment ideas from anywhere except my charts. I know there are good sources of ideas out there, as well as good sources of perspective on news, but I simply can't sift through them and figure out what to do, so I don't try. I'm limited that way.

Bob.

Something else; I swing trade stocks. I use a scanner to find charts that meet my criteria.

I find that any additional info might bias my decisions and cause me to bend my rules.

I pull data via Metastock Xenith / Reuters EIKON or YCharts. Then I crunch the numbers.
News and background info, which is good to get a feel for marketsentiment, I use Bloomberg/Reuters.
I also watch out for headlines on other news websites or paper periodicals and magazine.
If you read about some hot topic everywhere the (main) move is probably already done.

Where I got a job after my MBA we had an almost ritualistic morning schedule of going to forexfactory for upcoming events and its projections.

We also had to read some important articles on reuters and bloomberg, other than that I never got into reading news, we also completely ignored everything that came on televisions and social media like tweeter or youtube.
