Default Traders Arsenal

Just wondering if it would be useful to share some ideas on what we consider essential to have in our trading arsenal by way of resources etc. As a newbie I'd certainly appreciate having a kind of digest of people's favourite tools etc so I can investigate further. I'll put my pips worth here to start the ball rolling:

Books (top three)

Pring, Technical Analysis Explained
Link, High Probability Trading
Nofsinger, Investment Madness

Websites (top three)

Babypips
Forex Factory
(haven't got a third)

Charting Software

Prorealtime - free EOD data and reasonably sophisticated
MT4 (demo trader)

Dealing Platforms

IG Index (for spread betting and has good live charts)
OANDA (demo account)
MT4 (demo account)

Favourite Indicators

Moving averages
Trendlines

Nope, haven't tried that one. Is 'alligator' a specific indicator or just a name for using three moving averages together with Fib? Is this what you trade with?
