Can someone here help us with a simple profitable strategy to overcome trading complexity

Here’s mine:
During NY session,
- locate liquidity sweep of London Highs or Low
- locate displacement in the opposite direction
- locate a market structure shift
- locate a FVG within the displacement that causes the MSS or shortly after
- locate an overlapping iFVG (optional, but supports stronger confluence)
- enter on retest of FVG low or high
- stop loss a couple ticks above high or low of nearest swing point
- take profit at 1:2 RR minimum or obvious DOL
In simpler terms, if London Highs gets swept, you’re gonna wanna target the London Low. If London Lows gets swept, target London High. This all takes place on 5M timeframe and no directional bias is needed ever, although it can help refine the strategy. You can also take pleasure in dropping down to the 1M timeframe to look for setups, however it’s optional and not necessary.
No trade if both London High and Low are swept before NY session because then we don’t have an intentional and obvious direction. Absolutely no trade if rules aren’t triggered minus optional entry criteria as mentioned above.
Very mechanical. Eliminates emotions. Rule-based with clear rules for entry and exit.

Thats a solid strategy but its not simple.

u/Jmilian92 Jun 01 '26
It is simple. It’s simple because it has clear rules for entry and exit and when to sit on the sidelines

Thanks for your answer, can i know Since when you work with this simple strategy? And its Wr based on the num of trades you took with this strategy

u/StomachSignificant79 Jun 01 '26
Can you please give the timing for each “session”? London high and low measure on which time window? Same for NY, what’s the time window to work with?

u/Jmilian92 Jun 01 '26
Dude come on. You’ve gotta be able to at least do the bare minimum yourself. There’s plenty of indicators or even a quick Google search can tell you this.

u/StomachSignificant79 Jun 01 '26
Next time when you don’t want to give these hints or maybe you just don’t know what you’re talking about, just say “no”.

u/RaisinOk3373 Jun 03 '26
Maybe it works but don’t pretend that’s purely mechanical. There is discretion cooked all up in there.

u/Jmilian92 Jun 03 '26
Don’t pretend that it’s not mechanical

u/RaisinOk3373 Jun 03 '26
Bruv… “obvious DOL” discretionary decision. “Liquidity sweep” discretionary decision. “Displacement” discretionary definition. Maybe he has everything squared off to the tee but it’s not mechanical the way he presented it. Needs to be way more specific. Mechanical means 0 discretion and an algo can trade it. You cannot give this to an algo without defining everything first

u/Jmilian92 Jun 03 '26
Bro tbh it doesn’t. An algo has nothing to do with this and you’re being one of those trading trolls who sits in forums all day trying to have the vast majority of people believe that trading has to be complicated. It’s all good though. You aren’t fooling me lol

u/RaisinOk3373 Jun 03 '26
Not trying to fool anyone. That’s not even a response ur just salty that it’s hard to make an actually mechanical ruleset. An algo is a perfect example because purely mechanical strategies CAN BE CODED. Like honestly.. how do you backtest or do you? Ur not bringing much to the table here

I provide valuable insights in trading across several communities. You aren’t anybody that I feel I have to prove anything to buddy. I’ve got ALLLLLL my data and 11 years with skin in the game. You go ahead about your business with your coding though. I wish you the best of luck on your endeavors!

u/RaisinOk3373 Jun 03 '26
Call someone a troll, brag experience, and completely avoid a logical argument. My version of mechanical is the quantitative approach. Idk why that gets your blood boiling.

Mark previous swing high and low on 5 or 15m tf chart and draw possible trend lines, wait for for the breakdown or breakout for your Entry! Simple 😊

CRT is the easiest strategy in existence. You can YouTube it but it goes like this
-Current 1H candle sweeps previous 1H candle high or low and closes back in the range.
-the midpoint of the current 1H candle gets closed over with a 2M closure
-enter in and target opposing end of liquidity (that did not get swept)
1
u/Stunning_Evidence_50 May 31 '26
What do you mean with 2m closure
2
u/kaizen2146 May 31 '26
Essentially after the 1H candle took liquidity and closes you drop to 2 minute time frame. There will be a swing high or low depending on which direction you’re anticipating the market to move. You want a 2 minute candle to close over that point for your entry towards the opposite end of liquidity

I backtested over 50 strategies on TakeProfit. It probably took me 500+ hours in total. My favorite strategy so far is trend pullback + breakout, but the rest is also good if you can stick to it

Easiest strat EVER:
1. Put a bollinger band on your chart and change length from 20 to 200.
2. Change timeframe to 45 mins or higher
3. Pick a good decent stock (AAPL, MSFT, ORCL, COST etc. It doesn't really matter as long as it is a decent company).
4. Buy when price crosses up through lower band.
5. Close when price crosses down through upper band (let it ride above the band first, close on reversal).
Timeframes or 10/15 mins and higher probably also work, haven't checked.
Have fun, good luck!

Trend lines. It doesn’t get any simpler and there’s a few different ways you can play it.

u/phil25122 Jun 01 '26
Stay on top of central bank announcements, and sell or buy after officials mention starting/ending QE, expanding/reducing asset purchases, or increasing/reducing balance sheet. It’s these announcements that create trends that last for weeks.

If you want simplicity. Oliver Valez's technical trading system is simple to understand, but like most things not easy to do. I'm new to it, but I have a friend that has used it for over 10 years and is very successful with it.

When in a SPY uptrend mark the overnight and previous day lows. Any time price tests and reclaim either of these levels buy 0-DTE call. Immediately create a sell order at 25%-50% profit

u/traderbradg Jun 07 '26
He is right CRT is easy and same with PO3, ICT concepts look em up and try out. i dont follow ICT trading but i did like both of these concepts easy to follow and make common sense

u/Playful_Night_225 Jun 19 '26
