노트북이나 PC가 꼭 필요한가요? 💻

Its fine to start and learn with, or if you are swing trading its probably just fine too. But if you are actually trying to day trade, or scalp, you are at a big disadvantage. You are really handicapping yourself. I also work a day job, similar hours, but i wake up early and pre market trade every day.

I have a pc and 2 monitors, nothing fancy. But its plenty, i can have a few different time frames up on the same stock, my scanners, level 2 and time and sales all visible with just a glance. I can also pull up whatever i need on the internet, finviz, ortex, etc.

Technically you don’t need one, but if you’re looking to turn this into a career or as another source of income then you should definitely get one.

Phone is totally fine if you’re comfortable and consistent with it. Plenty of traders do well on mobile.

The main reason people use PCsor laptops isn’t aesthetics, it is screen real estate and cognitive load. Bigger screens mean less zooming, easier context (indicators, notes), and less eye strain when you’re staring at charts for hours.

That matters more once you start doing deeper analysis or journaling, not so much when you’re just executing clean setups.

Trading is hard. Traders you are competing with have better equipment than you do. Trading on a phone is a disadvantage and increase your chance of failure.

you can definitely trade from a phone, especially if your strategy is simple and you're not actively managing multiple positions. a lot of people start that wya and there's nothing wrong with it.

where a laptop or pc really helps is in the preparation and review side. bigger screens make it easier to see structure, mark levels, compare timeframes, and journal properly. it's less about looking professional and more about reducing friction when you're planning or reviewing trades.

given your schedule, using your phone for execution during the day and a laptop later for analysis could be a good balance. you don't need to rush into upgrading unless you feel limited by your process.

Been trading on my cell phones since 2018

Yes it's necessary unless you're exclusively swing trading.

You definitely need a brokerage account. At the very least.

No, your phone is a computer.

technically no... its a quality of life option...

Not necessarily, but I'd still recommend higher time frame swings instead of fast scalps since you can't view other markets or compare multiple timeframes easily. Past year i traded 99% from my phone though

I swing trade on my phone and I do technical analysis on my laptop. But if I day trade will need multiple screens

Phone is fine for executing trades honestly. The main reason people use multiple monitors is for analysis, watching several charts at once, running scanners etc. If you're swing trading or just taking a few setups a day you dont really need all that.

Only thing I'd say is risk management is harder on phone. Calculating position size, setting stops correctly, easy to fat finger something when youre rushing. But if its working for you no reason to change it.

I swing trade with my phone all the time. It’s the main thing I use to actually enter my trades.

The thing is, you definitely get a better view of the price action and market structure context when you have a larger screen. So I would recommend using a PC if you’re trying to learn how to read the market and develop a strategy. It’s also just faster to do everything on a PC. Like literally everything is faster.

You probably need a PC if you’re scalping on very low timeframes, like anything below the 2m timeframe for entries. Otherwise it’s not necessary. But it depends on the platform you are using. I connect to my broker through TradingView, so it’s pretty straightforward for me.
