Relying on strategies

[ArnavDeshmukh]

Hi everyone,

I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on how traders lean on strategies to navigate the wild and unpredictable world of the market. What strategies have you found to be the most reliable? How do you adapt when things don't go as planned?

Most reliable are strategies based on patterns like price channels and moving average. Also sometimes it is useful to use momentum property of prices to determine reversal zones.

Yes, I agree, and I think integrating these techniques with effective risk management increases the chance of making better trading decisions.

For me, the most reliable strategies have been built around price action and key market structure levels, especially when combined with a clear risk-to-reward plan. I focus on setups that repeat often, like break and retest or trend continuation, and I keep position sizing consistent to manage drawdowns. When things don’t go as planned, I scale back size, review my journal, and sometimes sit out until conditions align again. On Valetax, I also use Analysis IQ to track market sentiment and news, which helps me adapt faster when the environment shifts.

I completely agree. price action + market structure is such a powerful combination, especially when paired with disciplined risk management.
