Beginner question... please don't roast me too hard. 🤣
My ADHD brain is in full chaos mode right now.
One day I'm convinced I'm going to master high tight flags. Then I scroll through charts and realize I can't consistently spot them, find good entries, or feel like I missed the move already. I cant quite figure out how to get the screening settings down either.
So then I think, "Maybe breakouts are the answer."
Then I discover Martin Luk and start thinking, "Wait... is THIS the strategy I should be focusing on?"
Then I see someone (claiming to be) making a killing with another setup and suddenly I'm questioning everything again.
At this point I've gone down the rabbit hole of:
• Double bottoms + 10 EMA
• Darvas Boxes
• Qullamaggie momentum setups (I like this, but I also feel like I dont understand it enough just yet)
• High Tight Flags
• Breakout trading
• Relative Strength
• Martin Luk's strategy (cant find scanner settings to help me out here)
• 500000 more.
And now I have enough indicators, screeners, watchlists, books, and YouTube videos to confuse myself into paralysis.
I know this is probably a beginner problem, but how did you narrow things down when you were learning?
Did you/how did you:
• Pick one setup and trade only that?
• Focus on one timeframe? I see that daily is popular, but also I read that monthly shows less noise.
• Find THE ONE
At what point did you stop chasing every new strategy and finally say, "This is my edge"?
Looking for advice from traders who have already survived this stage. I feel like I'm trying to drink from a firehose and my brain is overloaded. 😅
Don't yell at me...or maybe i need that too. I feel when I do find something, I am always late.
Basically how did you find what fit your style and any other advice I need. Thanks. 🍿
