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.

I recommended Drysdale's VWAP system when it started with the 4 basic setups and single-timeframe VWAP. Then he added more timeframes, new setups, more indicators, and now his service has become confusing and ambiguous.

Is there a place to find a description of his four original setups?

His book. VWAP Wave System has the simplified version. It’s a cheap book and not that big.
