Which chart element would you remove tomorrow?

Post by FXS London Scalper »

Charts tend to get cluttered over time. An indicator added for one trade stays forever. Lines from last week are never deleted.

An exercise: look at your main trading chart and pick one element to remove. Then trade a week without it.

Common candidates:
- A second moving average that never changes decisions.
- An oscillator that's always "overbought" or "oversold".
- Old trendlines and levels from previous weeks.
- Multiple timeframe overlays.
- A news ticker on the chart.

What to observe:
- Did you miss it?
- Did decisions change?
- Was anything faster or clearer?

Many traders who try this find they remove more than one element. Simpler charts often make it easier to see price.
