How to Keep Day Trading Easy (basic strategy)

Learn To Trade Stocks and Options

In this video, I explain how to simplify day trading by utilizing a basic strategy that revolves around the 50-period simple moving average (SMA). While this strategy doesn't guarantee profits, it helps prevent the common pitfalls of over-complication and analysis paralysis. By focusing on a straightforward approach, I show how the 50-period SMA can serve as a reliable tool for identifying potential resistance and support levels in price movements. I walk through a live trade, highlighting the simplicity of my strategy and how I made $500 in just 24 seconds by leveraging the rejection of price at the 50-period SMA. The goal is to provide you with an easy-to-follow method that can give you an edge in your trading without overwhelming you with excessive indicators or analysis. I encourage you to consider integrating the 50-period SMA into your trading strategy and to share your thoughts or experiences in the comments.
