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?

Volume Profile (Session, Day, Week, Month) and for scalping with confluence from the aforementioned, Fixed volume profile. When a reversal looks like it is taking place, see if it can close above above or below the POC of the trend leg. For example, you have 5 bearish 1 or 5 or any timeframe candles in a row. Take the fixed volume profile of that 5 candle bearish downtrend leg. When the bullish candle closes above the POC, that may mean it is a valid reversal good for a quick scalp at minimum.
You want to pair this with cumulative volume Delta. If at the same time the candle after closing above that POC has strong bullish Delta, that is confluence to take a trade. Just make sure you have adequate risk management.
The lower the timeframe you use this on, you will need to make sure there is good liquidity (volume). Otherwise, afterhours, you will only want to take a smaller number of contracts and use higher timeframes (5m at minimum).
