In this day and age you have access to all sorts of information but when it comes to trading you need a place where you can find everything in seconds and focus your actions during the trading day. Prioritising this can be the difference between success and failure.

Checking your open positions regularly and determining your actions accordingly is first and foremost on every trader’s agenda. Second comes being up to date with what economic events might influence your open positions and cause volatility. These events can make you open and close positions, so consulting the built-in calendar in Trading 212 is a must. Getting a feel for what traders are saying and doing is also part of the puzzle. But unspecialised social media can be distracting and that’s why Trading 212 has integrated a social app called Tradebird.
