KISS is an acronym for “Keep it simplestupid

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle

 

Buy low with options sell high , trading is very simple.If you keep it very simple with channels, trend lines and support and resistance, this is all that is required by traders to be profitable.One more skill is the patience to wait for the bottoms.

 

Keep your technical systems simple. Complicated systems breed confusion; simplicity breeds elegance.Look at this chart buy low sell high makes money.Our brains are not designed to process complex analysis.

 At the most basic level, people must trade by processing information. Unfortunately, we're not very efficient information processors. We have a lot of biases that enter into trading decisions. I've documented 25 of them in my home study program. However, I think most of those biases can be summarized by realizing that trading/investing are very simple processes and we human beings try to make it into something much more complex. Those biases are all about adding complexity to the world.

Avoid complex  technical analysis , complex price action  and complex trend  analysis like this.Profitable trading is simple , trading is very easy, it is us humans make it complex .

 

In the image below , trend traders  would short the the instrument and lose money

I keep my trading simple, I put my money on it.If I lose on a few trades, it does not matter, but over a series of trades I make money.

This is advanced trading , something you can learn from.Which charts are you talking about?

 

In order to trade indices, one has to look at all the other related indices ,this is why there are only multiple charts .There is no price action  but simple t/a  i.e trend lines channel, supports. Nasdaq price action sometimes gives advance  hints on future Dow price action.This is why it looks complicated.

 

Here is what each individual chart looks like.

    • 🔸Hello traders, let's review the 4 hour chart for AUDUSD today. Recently price was locked inside distribution trading range and subsequently it broke down below key s/r level near 6600 and hit 6500. Following the normal distribution pattern. 🔸Short-term expecting throwback to re-test mid of the distribution range and then expecting new wave of short-selling once we trigger 6700. Bears still maintain strategic control. 🔸Recommended strategy for AUDUSD bears: wait for the short-term bounce to complete near 6700 and then re-enter on SELL SIDE. TP1 bears +200 pips TP2 bears final +400 pips at 6350. Keep in mind this is a swing trade setup so will take more time to complete. good luck! 🎁Please hit the like button and 🎁Leave a comment!
