I am the same person as you. I also lost $ 1,000 in 1 year. I do not invest anymore. But trading with bonuses only.
I have followed many strategies and indicators that I got from several expert advisors. But it did not work.
Now I can tell you about a strategy that I discovered on my own. You will only follow the moving average.
You attach the tape with 20 green periods, then set the exponential moving average with 5 periods in red.
When the red line crosses below the green line open a sell order and when the red line crosses above the green line open a buy order.
At any time you can apply it. Apart from that, you can follow the RSI, ADX simultaneously. But I like to say that there is no signal,
100% strategy and work indicators. So follow your own strategy. I was fortunate to follow the strategy.
