Everyone wants a complex strategy. This trader used 2 indicators and made $321,480. 15 years in the market. Early start. Real estate career. Came back semi full-time in 2024. No secret sauce. 5-minute chart. 10 SMA. MACD. That’s the system. Break above 10 SMA + bullish MACD → Long. Break below 10 SMA + bearish MACD → Short. Scale out at 1–3%. Let the last 25% run. Move stop to entry or prior day low. He trades liquid names. SPY. QQQ. TSLA. META. COIN. No earnings gambles. No options. No CNBC. Big lessons: • Size matters more than being right. • Focus on a few tickers. • Stop when you hit your weekly goal. • If you’re off your game, step away. • Ignore opinions. Follow price. The difference? He stopped tweaking. Stopped chasing. Stopped listening. Same setup. Over and over. Consistency paid him. Not complexity.
