NFC Automations for the Trading Desk

Not financial advice. Verify claims independently.

The physical automation trick that actually works:

Setup: stick an NFC tag on your monitor bezel. On tap:

  1. Enable a Trading focus mode (kill non-market notifications)
  2. Open your morning stack — watchlist, calendar, news
  3. Log "session start" to a tracking sheet (self-audit)

The earnings-week version: a second tag for "earnings mode" — opens the day's reporter, your notes, and Stock Picks for the practice trade.

It sounds gimmicky until you realize the ritual is the point: tap = "I'm at the desk, I'm in the session." Cheap NFC tags, free automation, real behavioral trigger.
