Start with the problem

What are you trying to improve?

There is no universal “best” platform. Start with what you need the tool to help you do.

01 Best place to start

Build and backtest in TradingView, then stress test the results with QuantGrip.

Choose your broker path

US-friendly or global.

Availability, products, and account eligibility vary by country. Always confirm what is available where you live.

02 / US PATH

US-friendly

Webull

My more approachable choice for US traders who want an easy-to-use app with deeper charting and market data than a basic brokerage experience.

Supports multiple account types and products, subject to eligibility and availability.

03 / GLOBAL PATH

Global access

Interactive Brokers

A widely recognized global broker with access to a broad range of markets and products.

My stronger global recommendation; many US traders may find Webull easier to start with.

Explore IBKR

Extend the workflow

Validate, review, automate, and explore.

The right add-on depends on the part of your process that needs the most help.

04 / STRESS TEST

Stress testing

QuantGrip

Run Monte Carlo analysis, stress tests, prop-firm simulations, and blended strategy analysis from TradingView backtest exports.

Use it when a normal backtest is not enough to tell you how robust a strategy really is.

05 / REVIEW

Trading journal

TradeZella

A trading journal built to expose patterns, strengths, mistakes, and opportunities to improve your execution.

Channel viewers can currently use code TC20 for 20% off. Offer terms can change.

06 / AUTOMATE

Bot building

AlphaInsider

Build custom trading bots and explore verified strategies, with supported broker connections for stocks and crypto.

I use it most heavily for bot building; supported brokers are a meaningful limitation to check first.

07 / EVENT MARKETS

Event markets

Kalshi

A clean platform for trading event contracts across sports, economics, elections, and other real-world outcomes, plus perpetual futures.

A higher-risk, specialized option—not a replacement for a complete trading process.

The TC Trading standard

No tool makes trading easy. The right stack can make the process clearer.

Every recommendation should solve a real problem, earn its place, and come with honest context about the tradeoffs.
