I’m a New Zealand-based swing trader using daily and weekly charts, with a methodology based on W.D. Gann and David Bowden’s Safety in the Market trading system. Really keen to connect with others trading this way rather than day trading :-)
Hi everyone. I'm glad I found this community, full of valuable resources and great contributions.
I'm a UK-based trader. I picked up trading again (after a hiatus of several years) about six months ago. At the moment, I'm in some prop firm challenges (CFD and futures), and I replicate the same trades roughly on each of them. I'm focusing on the EUR/USD currency pair (and its related 6E futures contract), although I am testing other pairs/contracts.
I trade mainly based on Volume Profile patterns, integrating them with VWAP and Order Flow (which I am still learning).
Hi everyone, I’m Ethan James Miller. I’m with PVAMarkets and work with online marketplaces and digital account services. Just joined the forum and thought I’d say hello. Looking forward to learning from everyone here.
I'm DrHeat, a trader based in the UAE. I focus on EUR/USD and
I use CME Euro FX futures (6E) as my main source for real volume.
My approach is mostly volume-based: I look for high-volume candles
(especially on lower timeframes) and watch how price behaves when it
returns to those zones. I also use anchored VWAP from key event
candles (like NFP or CPI releases) and keep an eye on the weekly COT
report for positioning context.
I'm here to learn more about order flow, delta and volume profile,
and to exchange ideas with other currency futures traders.
another german guy just wanted to drop a quick hello.
I’ve been diving headfirst into trading over the past few months, soaking up as much knowledge as I can. But if I’m being completely honest, I’m currently stuck in that stage almost every beginner faces: figure out which trading strategy actually fits my personality.
Every time I feel like I’ve finally found "the one," I start overthinking it—“Oh wait, but what about this indicator? What about that approach?”—and end up back at square one feeling a bit lost in the noise.
I’m here to get some clear direction, learn from people who have been through this phase, perhaps team up to with other newbies who want to get togehter through it and connect with a solid & nice community. My main goal right now is to listen, absorb, and build consistency. Once I get more experience under my belt, I can’t wait to pay it forward and contribute back to the group.
You've actually already hit the nail on the head: The strategy must fit your personality!
The trap you are describing (overthinking indicators and restarting) happens exactly because we often try to "optimize" a strategy before we've even given it a chance to work.
Since you already know the psychological fit is key, what about this: Pick the simplest approach that feels right to you, and force yourself to stick to it for 20 to 30 trades without changing a single indicator. That's how you separate "strategy failure" from "overthinking."
Wishing you a great start and consistency in the forum.
