The One App That Quieted the Noise and Let Me Lock In

Let’s be real—trading is mentally demanding. It doesn’t matter if you’re watching tape into the close or journaling mid-day setups… when distractions creep in, performance takes a hit.

For me, the biggest killer wasn’t lack of knowledge or discipline. It was everything else.

Notifications. Group chats. Breaking news I didn’t need. Slack. Twitter. Emails. You name it.

I used to tell myself I needed to be “plugged in” all day to stay informed. But I eventually realized: being too plugged inwas killing my edge.

That’s when I found Freedom.

How Freedom Works

It’s dead simple: Freedom lets you block distracting websites, apps, and notifications across all your devices.

• Block Twitter during market hours
• Shut off YouTube and Reddit pre-open
• Schedule focus sessions where only your trading tools are allowed

It syncs across phone, tablet, and desktop. Once the session starts, it locks the noise out. And the best part? There’s no cheating—even if you try.

How It’s Helped My Trading

I use Freedom every single day now.

I’ve got a preset that automatically runs from 6am to 1pm PST—my screens stay clean, my head stays quiet, and I get way more done.

• Morning prep is faster
• I don’t spend time on socials, cause I can’t
• If things are slow, I am off the desk instead of mindlessly scrolling

The real benefit? I get my time and focus back. And that translates directly to better setups, more clarity, and more confidence.

If you’re serious about improving your trading performance, this is one of the easiest wins you’ll find.

Try It Yourself

You don’t need to change your whole life overnight.

Start with one Freedom session during market hours. Block out the noise. See how different you feel after a clean morning of focus.

You can thank me later.
