😕 같은 보조지표를 쓴다면 진짜 차별점은 어디에 있을까?

Few traders are profitable with 1:1 or worse. You seem to be trying to make money doing something you don't believe is possible.

Support, resistance etc are all just areas of interest. You need to study the price action and decide what to do based on that.

This is a really good and important question and according to my experience the only logical answer is discretion. Technical analysis in itself has no edge. I've spend the last 5.5 years of my life going down the technical analysis rabbit hole and it doesn't matter how you combine all these tools that we as retail traders have access to, they will never provide a 100% mechanical strategy with an edge that works longterm. The market changes it's behaviour all the time, no day looks like the other, every situation is different. Sometimes price repeats certain patters but than can stop over night (I've had this wonderful experience several times when a mechanical strategy suddenly stopped working). The only edge you can develop with technical tools and concepts (including orderflow tools) is to get a read on the market through these tools.

Either you learn to dynamically interpret the market as a discretionary trader or you take the quantitative route but then take it seriously with all these fancy mathematical models, automated backtesting etc. Most retail traders try to build mechanical strategies out of technical tools what is a weird middle ground between these 2 types of trading styles that simply doesn't work.

They usually don't, the only way I became profitable is by doing by own thing and tweaking it until its perfect.

The edge usually is not the concept itself. Everyone can spot a level or a pattern; the real edge is filtering, sizing, and how consistently you execute when the setup is only 70% clean instead of perfect.

Genau wie die du schon sagst. Es geht darum Wahrscheinlichkeiten und Risiken zu managen.
Zu 1. wenn deine Winrate über 50% liegt, dann ist das möglich.

Don't think of edge the way the institutions do. Think of retail trader strategies frameworks with the edge coming from your skill in executing a strategy and the discretion you apply.

As I keep saying - for retail traders it's not about finding some hidden market imbalance - it's about executing well based on publicly available info.

It's like watching a YouTube video about how to hit a tennis backhand or throw a boxing hook. All the information is free and public - there are no secrets. But you still need a lot of practice and experience to execute it well.

It's basically the same thing with retail trader strategies. Most of them CAN work if you put in the work to become good at them - the edge is in learning to execute it well and applying it with discretion and judgment.

The retail trader does not have an edge per se- only a strategy when and how to enter and exit already moving market. The real edge comes from having insider information, millisecond earlier access to institutional data or intuition. Retail traders just follow a strategy and the positive outcome comes from execution of it in probabilities - how many times you enter and exit at the right time and right conditions. Just catching a wave.
