What If You Only Had 15 Minutes a Day to Trade?

That’s the beauty of keeping it light but consistent. No pressure. No FOMO. Just a simple habit that keeps you connected to the market and helps you grow smarter over time.

Why 15 Minutes are more than enough

Think of it like checking the news or reading a daily horoscope, but for your money.
With a smart routine and the right tools, those 15 minutes can help you:

  • Spot opportunities without endlessly scrolling tickers
  • Understand the “why” behind sudden moves and trends
  • Focus only on what matters, no noise, no fluff
  • Stay consistent without burning out or zoning out

You don’t need an 8-hour shift to trade smarter. Just a few good minutes, used wisely.

Your Quick, Smart Daily Routine

Whether you’re sipping your morning chai or winding down after work, here’s how to use 10-15 minutes effectively:

1. Open a Pre-Built Screener

Instead of scanning 100 stocks, just run a screener tailored to your style : Fundamental, Technical, News, Price Action, Volume, Reversals you name it, we have it.

With Tradomate, you can:

  • Save your favorite filters and screens (like “stocks with sudden volume spike”)
  • Run them with a tap
  • Focus only on quality setups

🕒 Time spent: 6 mins

2. Check the News (But Smarter)

Stock shot up? Cool. But why?

Did they launch a new product? Merge with someone? Or did the RBI say something spicy?
Tradomate’s News Insights breaks it down in simple language:

  • What happened
  • Why it matters
  • How it may affect the stock

Every update is crisp, tagged (Product, Merger, Macro, etc.), and ready to help you sound like the office smart one during coffee time chats. ☕

🕒 Time spent: 4 mins

3. Backtest Your Strategy (Optional, but Surprisingly Fun)

Ever wish you could see how your trading idea would’ve worked in the past?

With Tradomate, you can! Backtesting shows how your screen would have performed using historical data:

  • See how many trades actually worked
  • Check returns, win rate, and risk
  • Tweak your filters to get better results

It’s not a crystal ball, it’s more like a time machine for your strategy. Learn what works before you put real money in.

🕒 Time: 3 mins

4. Start Small, Learn Big

You don’t need lakhs to begin. In fact, starting with a small amount is the smartest move.

It helps you get a feel for the market, understand your reactions, and build habits without the pressure of big risks.
Think of it as tuition for learning the trading ecosystem, except you might actually make some money.

🕒 Time spent: 2 mins (to place your first trade or buy a stock)

That’s it. You’re Done.

In just 10 - 15 minutes, you:

  • Spotted potential trades
  • Understood the news behind the moves
  • Backtested your strategy
  • Trade

And now you can go about your day: Work, Gym, Lunch, Netflix.
