Looking for the Holy Grail in Trading
Traders are always looking for some miracle — a so-called holy grail trading strategy. I guess it’s human nature. But in real life, there are no miracles. We are bound by the laws of nature and must realistically observe the markets and decide based on what we see.
I’m not saying hope is bad — but unrealistic hope in trading can be dangerous.
I’ve gone down this path myself. In fact, everything I invented was in pursuit of the holy grail of trading. I developed the PST indicator for precision pricing based on time, space, and motion — the world’s first indicator that provides actionable pricing levels for buying, selling, and targeting, instead of just showing a wavy line. I also created the time and price trading methods for forecasting swing days and swing hours, which align with the PST. These were absolutely unheard-of innovations — and I got a lot of skepticism for them.
Fortunately, I’m stubborn — and these methods have certainly paid off.
They’ve made my trading more relaxed, more confident, stress-free, and most importantly — more profitable. I’ve definitely raised my trading success rate.
Still, this is not a 100% win rate. It never will be. Searching for the perfect trading strategy can be a wild goose chase. You could waste money, time, and still get nowhere.
In short, despite all the innovations I brought to my trading — which I do believe are revolutionary (nobody before introduced the concept of intraweek swing days and intraday swing hours with a price model) — it’s highly successful, but it’s not 100%.
The real holy grail in trading is this:
- A consistent, winning trading strategy
- Proper money management
- A solid trading environment with like-minded traders to share ideas with
Anyone serious about trading should invest in learning supply and demand strategies, understanding time and price, and practicing until they become consistent in the market. A supportive network is a bonus — both when you’re starting out and even later when you’re already profitable.
Trading is often a lonely business, and the holy grail is not just one strategy — it’s a combination of tools, mindset, and environment.
