The fractals and S/U, that's the key point I am trying to figure out. I am confusing about how to determine an fractal and S/U, that's why I am stepping into the Al brooks. In the approach of Big E, he states that when TDI green crosses red and see the reversal of two candles then step into the market and when see hooks or reversal of TDI then step out. But several time I step in and the trend reverse quick again. So I am trying to see where did i get wrong.

As you can see the graph of 1hr in E/U. There were lots of trade that actually doesn't earn any money. I am thinking is there anything I have missed.

Trading doesn’t have to be complicated. Start by focusing on one market—stocks, Forex, or crypto. Use basic technical indicators like moving averages and RSI to guide your decisions. Stick to a clear strategy, manage your risks with stop-loss orders, and avoid overtrading. Platforms like Efi Markets make trading simple with user-friendly tools and educational resources. How do you simplify your trades? Let’s share tips!

I agree with you.

The OP of this thread made it very clear in all his posts what is Trading Made Simple and how he used just one moving average, Stoch and TDI RSI price line for entries and exits. Any thing more would make trade made simple more complicated than it already is.

So we keep trading simple and follow the OP's posts. Build confidence through lots of practice, practice, practice, ....

Yes. If you want to scalp that.

But corrective move will not yield a +5R to +9R .

Therefore we trade with the trend, we buy the dip.

If we risk $200 per trade and take profit +5R

we grow an account very nicely in 500 trades with a Money-Management-Based strategy.

In a down-trend, I would wait for the swing low and the break of candle1 of the swing low then follow-up with a pullback and then a new up-trend.

IF you take every trade with a Risk to Reward of 1 to 5,

risk $200 per trade and do your trade Position Size,

you can grow your USD10,000 nicely over 700 trades and the Win Rate is only 27%ish

The point is, do you think its a good entry. I usually find, look at a trade, look at the reasons to go in and if you say the word but while looking, like for example, it looks good but it's near a previous high/low. then give it a miss
