00:00There's no single top three, universally. The ranking depends entirely on capital,
00:05time commitment, and risk tolerance. But three strategies consistently dominate retail and
00:11institutional use for distinct reasons. 1. Trend following-slash-swing trading
00:16Holding positions for days to weeks based on moving average or breakout signals. Historically
00:22the most accessible for part-time traders since it requires checking charts once or twice daily.
00:27With typical win rates of 40-50% offset by favorable risk-reward ratios. Aiming for 2-1
00:35or higher reward to risk. 2. Mean reversion
00:38Betting that price snaps back after extreme moves. Using RSI oversold-slash-overbought levels
00:45or Bollinger Band touches. This works best in range-bound, low-volatility markets and tends
00:51to fail badly during strong trending phases or news-driven shocks. So it's context-dependent
00:56rather than universally reliable. 3. Scalping-slash-day trading
01:01Exploiting small intraday price moves, often under 1%, using 1-5-minute charts,
01:08requiring constant screen time, tight spreads, and low transaction costs. This only becomes viable
01:14with sufficient capital to overcome fees and unsuitable for anyone without dedicated time
01:20during market hours. The critical variable is context. A trader with a full-time job should
01:26avoid scalping regardless of its theoretical profitability, since execution speed and constant
01:31monitoring are non-negotiable requirements. A trader with larger capital and volatile assets like crypto
01:37may find mean reversion riskier than in traditional forex due to wider price swings.
01:42I can't verify current backtested performance percentages for any live platform or specific
01:48timeframe. So treat any strategy's advertised win rate as unconfirmed until you test it yourself on
01:54historical data relevant to your asset and timeframe. Practically, match the strategy to your available
02:00time and capital first. Backtest it on at least 6 to 12 months of data and only then commit real
02:07funds
02:07with a predefined stop loss. Finally, remember that everything we discussed today is for educational
02:13purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Good luck to everyone and see you in the next video.
