Could you suggest a profitable trading strategy? I’ve heard many people say that psychology is more important than strategy itself, but I’m still uncertain about which approach to adopt. Should I focus on ICT concepts, support and resistance liquidity sweeps, or trends? Who would you recommend for learning an effective strategy? I’m new to this and would appreciate your insights!

Welcome to the community! It’s great that you’re exploring different trading strategies. You’re right that psychology plays a significant role in trading, but having a solid strategy can help guide your decisions and minimize emotional trading.
Here are some strategies to consider:
Support and Resistance: This is a foundational concept in trading. Identifying key support and resistance levels can help you make informed entry and exit decisions. You can look for liquidity sweeps or breakouts at these levels for potential trades.
Trend Following: Trading in the direction of the trend can often lead to higher probabilities of success. Look for higher highs and higher lows in an uptrend, and lower highs and lower lows in a downtrend. Consider using tools like moving averages to identify trends.
ICT Concepts: If you’re interested in the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) method, you can find a wealth of resources on his website and YouTube channel. Many traders find his approach to market structure and liquidity quite valuable.
Price Action Trading: This strategy focuses on analyzing price movements without relying heavily on indicators. It requires a deep understanding of how price behaves and can be very rewarding once you develop your skills.
When it comes to learning, I recommend finding a mentor or course that resonates with your preferred learning style. Look for traders who focus on risk management, trade psychology, and have a proven track record. Additionally, consider joining online trading communities where you can discuss strategies, share experiences, and learn from others.
Experiment with different approaches and see what fits your style, risk tolerance, and available time for trading. Remember, consistency and risk management are crucial, regardless of the strategy you choose. Good luck on your trading journey!
