Two months ago, I started tracking every trade I took. I was using the 20 and 200 moving averages from the beginning because they’re popular indicators.

But when I reviewed my trades, I noticed a problem.

Sometimes, the price action (how the market actually moves) was giving me a clear signal to go long. At the same time, the moving averages were telling me the opposite. Because of that conflict, I hesitated and skipped trades.

Out of 16 good setups, I missed 4 strong opportunities just because the indicators made me doubt my main strategy.

This made me realize something important:

the moving averages were not helping me they were just adding confusion and bias.

So I decided to remove them.

From now on, I’ll focus on a cleaner approach based only on price action, and test if it improves my decision making and results.
