Trading is a time consuming and attention grabbing activity that requires some good gadgets so that one is better positioned to make reasonable profit in the long run. If the knowledge of trading amounts to about 60% or success, then the gadgets used to make trading successful is the remaining 40% we must include to become a very profitable trader.

Here's a list of some gadgets from my findings that may be very instrumental in making a trader successful in their trading ventures:
* Hardware wallet like Ledger Nano or Trezor model
* iPhone 15pro
* 64 inch xiaomi led monitor
* Hp laptop core i7
* A mechanical keyboard
* A gaming mouse
* Samsung zfold 4
* Oraimo Spacebud
* Oraimo Headphone
* An MTN 5g router
* An Airtel 5g router
* An oraimo 40,000 MA power bank and
* A New age 20,000 MA power bank among others.

Besides this list of gadgets I have listed, it is to note that there are other kinds of gadgets that may be more efficient for use during trading mostly to fill in for the boring hours of monitoring market dynamics and waiting on an order to manifest.

My question to you is this; what kind of gadgets would qualify to be included in your trading setup, whether you could afford it or not?

Not all countries are using MTN and Airtel. Just mention router. Although router is not what should be necessarily mentioned but Internet connection.

Oraimo Spacebud is used to listen to music just like Apple Airpods. How is this related to trading?

You do not need a monitor before you can trade.

some people make use of only their mobile phones to trade.

People in some countries have access to 24/7 electricity. That makes power bank not necessary.

All what you mentioned does not mean someone will have profit in trading. You did not mention trading plan and strategies. No mention of basic things that traders should know.

Also you do not need to mention the name of any device. Just mention the device. Like phone, laptop...

I was going to apologize for not presenting my post according to your context, but in case you didn't notice, the gadgets I mentioned for trading effectively is but a compilation of the tools I would like to use based on my personality and comfort. The gadgets are from my findings and it is tailored to aid the situation that's predominant in my country.

In a situation where you live in a place with better amenities and access to free Internet service, am sure the choice of gadgets you would use, would be very different and tailored according to your budget, personality and comfort.

Hence why I asked what's your trading gadget preference. Perhaps, you intend to use some kind of gadgets you wish to include in your trading setup or you currently use such a gadget for efficiency.

Sorry I did not see the question.

Good mid-range phone and Internet connection are enough. If you have a laptop, you can use it. Some people use monitor but I do not see it necessary. But if possible you can get it, that is one of its purposes. To seat closer to the screen. I mostly use phone to access the exchanges.

I do not use monitor.

You should put the total cost of your assumed best gadget for a trading startup, and when you know the total amount you need to get all those acclaimed necessities, and after that you ask yourself if it is all that is needed to trade comfortably.


For me, just a good smartphone with at least a 5G network and having multiple mobile Sims networks to switch between is already good enough to start trading and making few profits having the risks in mind also.

Well first of all, the gadget sufficient for trading is depend on your capacity to buy a gadget or mobile for trading. I believe any mobile phone with good screen ans huge space could be ebough. It doesnt matter if its not so high in speck since its not gonna need that requirement.

But as a user, I prefer android phones than Apple devices since its expensive.

I don't think an Iphone will do for me.

The best are those smartphones that are expandable two or three times because that makes their screen larger. And I've seen this kind of setup somewhere from a trader.

So, those foldable phones that makes it a larger screen, I don't know the brand maybe Huawei or Honor or Samsung has got that version too.

The kind of device a trader uses can contribute to their success but it does not mean that traders who do not own any of these proper device for trading are not still making profits in their own little way. If someone who does not own any of these mentioned device has an interest in trading, it should not be discouraging for them to keep on and continue with their interest because the traders we see today who owns some of these devices started from positions even poorer than were we are about to start, some of them owning the lowest grades of smartphones but did not let it discourage them from trying to learn and become better. They identified their challenges and were able to solve it as soon as they started getting profit.
As a trader investing in yourself is necessary.

Your gadgets are too abundant for a trader. If you are a good trader, you don't need to have all these gadgets to succeed. If you are a bad trader, you can spend $1M for your trading gadgets but you still get loss.

Gadgets don't contribute like 40% of a profitable trader. Main contributors are knowledge, experience, good trading strategy and discipline. Gadgets are like 10% of your success, just a phone / laptop/ computer and good internet access is enough.

Different people have different finance and they will prepare different gadgets for their job, investment and trading. I don't think this discussion is too necessary and in my opinion, it's very unnecessary.

My feeling like there is no idea for discussion and this topic is created.

Most at times I see setups on social media where people spend almost about $5k to actually set their work space up and most of the time I say to people that this kind of things are not important. You don’t need a high efficiency laptop or computer to actually do trading only sophisticated stuff like running nodes and writing codes or editing are this kind of devices needed, I don’t advice against the use of large screen like a monitor and a comfortable place to sit and trade but even your smart phone can actually do the work perfectly.

Instead of spending so much on gadgets, I think the funds should rather be used in trading with the right knowledge and risk management that amount can be a good start up. As for the network provide, one thing is clear go for the best network provide in your vicinity because a poor network frustrates a trader

All these are important I'm not disagreeing with you but whoever that's new to trading shouldn't see this as a discouragement, start with what you have. Progress starts one step at a time, you don't need that Mac book at the moment if you haven't made enough money from your trades. And take note of this, if you can't buy it twice it means that you can't afford it. Using a small android device wouldn't give you a good view especially when you are trying to draw trend lines but work with what you have and expand from that point. Focus on developing your strategy and making profit.

For sure the total of them is very expensive as those gadgets seem to be carefully picked by the OP. One may not afford them all so maybe we can start a few of them instead? We can prioritize the ones that we think are very helpful to us like maybe a phone if we don't have a CPU yet for a monitor. We can as well opt for a lower version or a brand alternative, if the budget is still low.

Multiple sims? But I think only two sims can be accommodated at most by the phones now. Oh, I remember there is also new sim technology called E-sim. I think we can buy lots of it since it was only digital anyways? It can be a genius idea so that when one network is down or has a poor signal, we can try the other. The only thing is if there is a tower for all of them in our area because in my case, not all are covered here.

Yes, gadgets are very helpful for trading activities that can be done anytime and anywhere. However, it would be better not to force yourself to choose a gadget that is very expensive because the selection of gadgets and their brands often depends on individual tastes, must be according to what is needed, the most important thing is support and must also be in accordance with finances to be able to have it. And besides that, what is more important than gadgets or whatever the reason in my opinion is a strong and reliable internet connection is a must to ensure the smooth running of your trading activities. And I also prefer and am comfortable with Android, the most important thing is that the overall specifications support it.

Any gadget that can present your charts on the tradingview is enough for me,  it can be a laptop or a desktop or even a phone since tradingview does have an app.

If gadgets can just be bought to make a precise interpretation of the market trend, we would have been buying every expensive gadget by now. Its not helping though unless the experience you have have taught you well to be prepared to whatever the market has offered.

As long it do works and able to run on the same application then this what surely counts. Not to really be that negative but rather stating the facts on which not all people will really be that having that capacity on buying up these high end or something which is expensive, not unless if you are really that already be on a rich family or already that rich then you an afford but for those people who have just started then they would really be starting up on the basic things.

Like me.

1. 1 PC set up with 2 monitors
2. $200 android phone
3. Pocket WIFI connected on local ISP
4. $500 laptop

These things would really be that essential into your trading. Once you do become that profitable on your trading then this is where you would really be trying out to
make up some upgrade gradually.  :)

How did you come to the conclusion that you need these expensive gadgets, or if I were to phrase it correctly, that these gadgets even remotely help to yield better returns? I disagree with every single one of them, except the hardware wallet of course, and perhaps a powerbank in case you're running low on battery. Why would you need such a huge monitor, or the most latest iPhone, laptop and all these PC components? You can do just fine with a simple laptop or a reliable Android phone, which doesn't require a whole salary to purchase one.

On the other hand, it feels like the OP is trolling, this can't be serious.

Is these genuine guarantee that a trader that has all these gadget are going to be successful as a trader?
I don't see any big deal about all these you have listed because it do not determine your success as a trade. Trading is more about understanding the crypto market and being smart and disciplined when making decisions about the market. Make money from the crypto market is not based on what gadget you are using but your strategy and timing. I don't see all these that relevant for you to become a profitable trader in the market.

This is a post I made from my privacy and am sure as hell that I have never met you in person. So you suggesting that I might be trolling for creating a post from my perspective is quite unfair because I don't even recall sending you a personal message to drop a comment on my post.  

Your opinion is welcomed and this forum is disciplined enough. Please do address your personal concerns privately and not channel them to someone else who neither has your time nor cares about your nonsense.

I would always prefer an iPhone over an android phone when it comes to trading and that's when am out of my comfort zone and when am not with my PC.
I also do love music and would opt for the head phones when am in my comfort zone while the space bud or ear bud would serve my musical needs when am outside, in a cool spot and trying to trade or monitor my trades.
A led monitor isn't a bad idea because it not only serves a purpose, but several purposes of which may include casting my PC screen to the monitor for clearer and bolder visuals while trading.

Although, my trading goals is still a dream in the making because am still in the theoretical try and error learning phase, but these tools and gadgets I have mentioned would help me maintain and gather more returns in more ways than you can imagine, because I know where am coming from and where I am heading to.

I'm starting to believe that you're delusional, you're posting on a public forum, creating a topic that's quite intimidating to even suggest that you need such expensive stuff to be involved into trading or investing. Not only that, you're claiming to address personal concerns privately, when you created the topic and imply that I don't have an "invitation" to comment on your post. This shows to me that you have no idea what this forum is about, nor how trading works. If you don't like criticism, you're more than welcome to open a self-moderated thread and delete posts that aren't up to your liking. No one offended you to get that pissy.

See what is needed for a successful trading:
1. Know how to trade
2. Have a good internet connection
3. Have a good screen(preferably a high resolution pixel screen).
I never knew the importance of watching candles and charts in a larger screen untill I visited my friend. When you watch the chart with a convenient screen, you will avoid some errors and your eyes will relax well and hence an increased confidence.

A strange list of trading tools!! I don't know why we would need all the items on this list. Some of them are essential, yes, but the rest of the list is just a bunch of extras that some may need but many can do without.

Of course, essential items like a phone, laptop, internet, and electricity are indispensable. Other items, like headphones, a power bank, a mouse, and so on, are not essential and have nothing to do with trading. They're fun while trading to avoid boredom, but they're not essential.

For me, I don't sit in front of a screen all the time monitoring indicators. I use buy and sell orders, and when they are executed, I get a notification, so there's no need to stay in front of a screen all the time.

I am not offended, but am just stating the obvious which of course is my taste no matter how expensive it might be. I do however apologize if I sounded offensive to you, but fortunately, I do trade occasionally and that's why I said the theoretical try and error learning phase. I do have in my possession a majority of the trading gadgets as I mentioned except for the iPhone of which I would upgrade to soonest when I change location.
Although one fact is that I wouldn't qualify as a merchant or pro trader but rather as an investor, and I have been tormented most times both during my trading or when am not trading, by poor network coverage due to my device software and other issues with electricity.  Hence, why I have as much gadgets in this regards pending when I update the iPhone, the gaming mouse and my PC.

No offense intended. Your opinion is of course always welcomed.
