He suggests focusing on a limited number of well-understood markets and using simpler trading strategies such as trend following, support, and resistance. The psychological aspect of trading, which is often exacerbated by complexity, is also examined, and a simpler approach is advocated to minimize emotional stress and impulsive decisions. Join Alex in this enlightening episode as he guides you through the art of simplification.
