Re:Simple trading strategies

Quite often traders get wrapped up in the "it's complicated, so it must be 
good"
mindset.  I have found just the opposite...The simplier my strategy, the
more profitable(with less anxiety) I experience.....

Example.........(It's not 100%, but nothin' is)

SPZ made a high @ 992.25
SPZ made a low of 966.50 or 25.75 points.
multiply 25.75 * .618=15.90 (.50 and .618 are very common retracements)
Look for a retracement to 982.40
High for the retracement???? 982.00
Then look for another drop of approximately 25.75 points.
982.00-25.75=956.25...the low yesterday was 956.00

Sure the S&P may go down more, but would I be happy with 20+ points?????

This type of swing trading is applicable to ALL markets...stocks, commodities 
etc......It's nice to know that simple does work.

Hope this gives ya something to consider.
