My best trade of the week came from a simple concept — higher highs and higher lows. I was watching a coin on the 1-hour chart that had been creating a clear uptrend. Every pullback was shallower, and the price respected the 20 EMA repeatedly. I waited for a bullish engulfing candle after one such pullback and entered long. My stop was below the swing low, and I trailed my stop as the price climbed. The market rewarded my patience with a steady rally. What made this trade successful wasn’t any advanced indicator — it was basic trend structure. Often, we look for complicated setups and forget that simple strategies work best when used consistently. Recognizing the rhythm of the market and respecting the trend direction gave me confidence in this trade.
