The Only Trading Strategy That Works

There are thousands and maybe millions papers, books, articles related to trading the financial markets. Known and unknown authors publish for free or sell all kind of trading strategies, manuals, technical analysis guides, advanced trading models, complicated mathematical algorithms with the purpose to make profit by trading financial instruments.
The fundamental truth about trading is that there is only one strategy that works! Yes, indeed, and it is quite simple: buy low, sell high! It’s that simple! No matter what your trading style is, if you’re a scalper or a trend follower, you always need to follow this simple rule in order to be successful.
Remember this rule and always use it in your trading. Pay attention to the price on which you buy. Make sure you always buy low enough, so you can sell higher later! Don’t forget to account for the spread/commissions in your calculations as you need to make this additional profit that goes to the brokers.
And finally: be patient! Don’t rush into pointless deals. Make less orders but good ones. This will decrease the amount of money you pay in taxes and will possibly filter some bad deals out. And never forget “buy low, sell high“!
