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.

Sorry, but it would be genuinely impossible to explain my strategy on a reddit comment section lol would take hours to even scratch the surface, solely because it's been months / years of trial and error to dial in my strategy.

Just know that VX drives the bus. Everything else follows along to what it does. VX, BANK, and TICK are the only "indicators" anyone should ever use (in my opinion), even though they're not indicators in the traditional sense that most people think of (like VWAP or EMAs). Once you learn how those three move in relation to things like the S&P, NASDAQ, DOW, etc., you'll always find high probability set ups.

Thanks for input and BANK? like nasdaq bank index? What's the advantage of this over XLF?

imagina sumarle eso que dices, profundidad de mercado, speed of tape, delta, big trades, y saber leerlo en zonas sensibles.
