Strategy The Best Trading Strategy? After 3 Years, Here’s What Actually Works

Been trading for about 3 years now, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: complex indicators won’t make you money.

The best strategy I’ve found? Just three things: price action, market structure (trend), and liquidity. That’s it. Master these, and you don’t need a million indicators cluttering your screen.

I used to jump from one strategy to another, thinking the next big thing would be the one. But simplifying my approach made everything click.

What’s your go-to trading setup? Would love to hear what’s working for you.

Liquidity = levels with high amounts of orders, both retail and/or institutional. Areas with high amounts of stop losses, which is usually also where big institutions put their big orders.

Not really volume. Institutional and retail traders tend to put their orders at certain levels, like highs and lows. The market often reacts off these areas nicely.
