Testing Different methods for trade

I’m tired of testing different systems, but I always think I have to learn new systems and styles to trade.
Please help me get out of this vicious circle

For most practical intent and purpose there are only two trading styles - enter with the trend because you think it will continue, or enter counter-trend because you think its going to reverse into the opposite trend.

Both approaches can make a profit but they each generate different experiences for the traders using them and they each demand different tactics with regards dealing with winning trades and losing trades. The selection and entry criteria in each style are of secondary importance and won’t make the biggest difference between making money and losing money.

There are no new strategies that someone hasn’t already thought of.

cfd .fx market
i do manual but i intrested in both
i determind trend from uper time frams like daily and 4H and i enter in 15 and 5M. generaly i prefer scalp than swing trading
price action without any indicators

my biggest problem is Comparison between price action methods
like S&D vs ICT or RTM and eth.
I do not get tired of learning these and I am always eager to learn new systems.

I’ve nothing negative to say about these approaches to trading but you must have heard the expression about being unable to see the wood for the trees?

These are just different trees in the same forest.

One tree is pretty much as good as another if all you want is to build a fire.

Not to over simplify it but you should pick one that you have found has an edge, you have a set of results for and suits your time freedom and lifestyle

I really like TV replay its very helpful for backtesting and also picking random spots and forward testing

You don’t need lots of trading styles. It will spread you too thin. Find one that works and nail that down. You can always add in down the line but trying to learn loads now will mean you actually learn none.

Basically, you made back test manually, so I think, this strategy “saw” max 3 years data ( correct me if I think wrong ). Do you have a plan, what next, if the market will change?

True ICT is far above the rest. It is all you need. It is better to not add unnecessary systems.

at first,u must know yourself well.(your personality)
after that u will know what kind of trading method suit to you
u can try out position trading method which that im using right now.If u r interested to learn,u can msg me.
