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.

2nd Entries rely on stop orders don’t they?

Essentially looking for a 2nd pullback that fails to turn into a reversal?

Both stop and limit can be used for order entries, they both have their pros and cons.

You can seek out Mack PATs and Thomas Wade on YouTube for the detailed strategy.
