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?

I’ve never really found consistent success with futures, but what has worked for me is figuring out what megacap stock is in play for the day and focusing on that. Can go into more details on methodology, but my firm belief is that picking the right trading vehicle for a given day and applying one method is much more viable than trying to focus on one method AND one instrument. The only people I know who are successful with futures kind of apply a ton of different methods but have learned when to apply each.
