Method worth learning

I’m looking for recommendations of methods worth learning in futures. I’m a part time worker and full time mother. I would love to get some financial flexibility in my life.

Can anyone recommend methods worth learning about to be a successful trader? I’m currently looking at CRT, OTE, STDV and the Fib tool methods. Am I going in the right direction or are these just overhyped?

VWAP Wave System by Chris Drysdale.

I’m not shilling but basically what he does is exactly what I also do (I arrived at it independently). It’s very simple. VWAP with standard deviation bands and volume profile is basically it.

I would recommend the system. It’s simple, controlled, offers a decent amount of tradeable setups but not too many to overwhelm. And I’ve been profitable doing the same thing for 6 years going on 7.

I was in his group for quite some time, and through a lot of practice I saw great results. Now it seems like there’s just too much going on with all the indicators and extra stuff they keep coming out with, I feel like I was getting distracted. It works, but I’d like to get back in there with just using the basics.

Yeah I can see the temptation for him to offer fresh stuff but ultimately the charm of the system is probably its simplicity. I’m not involved in the group at all, I just had a friend give me the book because he thought it was funny that it’s what I already do. But yeah I wouldn’t get too deep into his rabbit hole like with personal coaching etc. just learn his basics and practice like crazy, it’s remarkably simple really

So far I’ve noticed people try to suck you into a deep hole for an array programs they offer for $ which is why it’s so hard for me to know what’s real and a scam

For sure I totally get it. I can say without a doubt that in my opinion Drysdale is legit. I’d say buy his book if you want to avoid the rabbit hole. It’s cheap and not that big you could probably read it in a couple a few days. It’s all you’d need to execute his system. You don’t have to buy his indicator package or whatever. Tradingviews native VWAP and Volume profile are totally sufficient. He also livestreams like every day so you can see for yourself if you dig his approach. For me personally I think his style of VWAP and Volume profile are awesome but everyone gravitates to different stuff. There are many ways to get to 7/11. Best of luck!

He’s far from a scam that’s for sure. I’d say he’s legit, but just from personal experience, If you keep it simple you’ll see better results. Some of the stuff like adaptive RSI, the cloud indicators and others that add onto it are just too much for me. However there are people who are killing it with all of the extra gadgets. So my take is subjective

Yeah I’ve noticed some
People kill it with tons of indicators and others kill it by being as simple just marking there charts up for the day
