When I first started trading, I used too many indicators and ended up confusing myself. Over time, I realised the simplest thing works best for me: support and resistance.
I usually start by zooming out and marking obvious levels where price reacted multiple times before. These are areas where buyers or sellers previously stepped in — and most of the time, they still matter.
If price is approaching resistance, I don’t chase longs. I wait to see if it gets rejected or breaks cleanly.
If price pulls back into support during an uptrend, that’s where I look for opportunities — but only if price action confirms.
One thing I learned the hard way:
👉 support and resistance are zones, not exact lines.
Price can poke through briefly and still respect the level overall.
I don’t try to predict tops or bottoms anymore. I just let price come to my levels and react. This alone helped me avoid a lot of emotional trades.
Nothing fancy, just discipline and patience.
Hope this helps someone who’s still struggling with overtrading 👊
Happy trading everyone.
