Does a trading strategy becomes obsolete?

[Kasabus]

Nah, they won't become obsolete.

No matter what happens to the market, these strategies will remain and will still be applicable mostly to the markets where it's been mostly used. That's why even in other markets, these have been tried and seen to be a good indicator.

It's just so happen that there are too many of them and you've got to choose what's proven to be good and effective. They might not work for sometime and that's why there are other strategies you can work for.

Strategies are built not to become obsolete and outdated when time comes. Sure some might not be working in a bearish market condition, but it can still be considered effective when the market turns bullish as we find it easily to trade when the market is bullish. So strategies will not become obsolete, but we also have to improve them and enhanced them when we see they are not that useful anymore.

Every strategy or indicators have it's functionality each thereby playing it's different roles to bring the traders to conclusion on what decision or action  to take for his trade or trades as the case may be, what every good trader needs to understand is that you don't need to trust just on one strategy , you need to bring in different strategies or indicators towards any trade you want to execute and see how they align with your instinct about such trade. No indicator looks obsolete it only depends on how monotonous you're using it and then it seems obsolete to you cause it's no more working for you as it were that doesn't mean it ain't working for the next trader.

the more experienced the trader, of course, the more strategies they use to plan trades.
some techniques may not be suitable for certain market conditions. and some traders sometimes use other trading techniques to get profits depending on market conditions.

situations that may be different may be experienced by new traders. a very little experience and skill, of course, more they are just guessing.

And this is what makes trading so complex, if you use one time frame bitcoin may look bullish, but if you use a different time frame suddenly it looks bearish, similar indicators could also give you contradictory signals while you also read all kind of opinions about what the price is going to do by experts and newbies alike.

So it is up to the trader to make sense of all the noise that surrounds the markets, and if you cannot do it then it is going to be almost impossible to succeed as a trader.

I am trying to learn more about trading strategies specially in Technical Analysis. Upon trying different indicators, it comes to my mind that indicators might become an obsolete one day.

Just imagine if all of us knows how to use RSI and MACD. We all know when it is overbought or oversold. Therefore, we already know as well when it is good to enter and exit in market. Since we all knew about, RSI is not a good indicator anymore and many of us will find a new indicator that will provide us more details than the latter one.

Now, many Trading Gurus are teaching the best strategy to use. Wherein fact, strategies are becoming obsolete as time goes by. If you are new in trading world, definitely you will be eaten by those traders who know a lot in trading.

It doesn't become obsolete but when everyone applies the same strategy the effectiveness will becomes less so only who thinks out of the box will sustain and other who trade by books will be just same as others.

Technical analysis is only a part which highly involved in short term trading but the basic is simple buy low and sell high which will never change so sticking to basics is important no matter what strategy we are trying.

[WalkerIVIV]

strategy never becomes obsolete it's just some coins are indeed straying away from the conventional pattern and instead just increase in value out of nowhere, you see some meme coins basically doing this all the time.
I think nowadays strategy is still essential but just never rely on it too much I guess, after all some coins that purely gets driven by trend could score some really significant increase.

[Strongkored]

There is nothing absolute in trading, no matter how smart a trader is in analysis and other knowledge, he will still be wrong and resulting in losses.
Currently what is quite absolute is about the 4 year cycle and it has been repeated several times, traders who continue to use this method buy a lot when they are bearish and sell them when they are bullish get big profits.
Learning from the experts is very good but still using your own analysis is much better to find out which ones are still lacking in our analysis.

Says who? RSI has been existing for trading for several decades (1978) and has still been used by many traders. The same goes for MACD, except that markets have their time when indicators seem to work better or worse with them. There are some bad market conditions, and indicators are not to be blamed in this regard. If it were to be another indicator, I would have said that the trader might be wrong about its efficiency from the beginning, but not with the RSI and MACD if used properly.

Now, many Trading Gurus are teaching the best strategy to use. Wherein fact, strategies are becoming obsolete as time goes by. If you are new in trading world, definitely you will be eaten by those traders who know a lot in trading.

Do not let the so-called Gurus deceive you, there is nothing new trading strategy in the market anymore, they could only deceive you that they have created a strategy, but the strategy has been in existence for long. Even though their software is using a well-known strategy, except that you might not know what they code in it. And if you are not satisfied with this, I challenge you to name a new strategy, I will tell you the year I learned it because no trading strategy is new to me.

There is no such thing as perfect trading strategy that will keep on giving you profit. Some strategies might work due to luck, but eventually it will become obsolete. If such strategies exist, literally everyone would be trading  to make profit, right? The market isn't always the same and it changes every second. Anyone trying to sell you the perfect strategy is only trying to scam you. The best strategies can help you is keeping control of your loss.

That is why you should consider the big picture. There are also traders who don't use indicators and rely only on charts, like "naked traders." These are simply tools for our biases to use before entering a trade to see if there is confirmation from our strategy. With all of those noises (indicator signals, news, etc.), that is where your strategy comes in on what to follow, which is the most crucial part of trading, so it would be impossible that strategy would become obsolete as this is what we use before we trigger our trade.

[shinratensei_]

the only times trading strats become obsolete is when you are dealing with meme coins, their movements generally are so strange that I don't think your usually technical analysis would matter.
I think overall if you still follow textbooks technical analysis there bigger chance of you still making profits mainly because the others are also following the same pattern, but nowadays, it seems holding for long term have better roi than just trading whereas your profits is still uncertain.
I'd say you should be trading only if you have any skill of doing some technical analysis and already knows some trading strats otherwise it'd be hard for getting some good returns.

[Viscore]

The reason why you thinking like this is because trading strategies are not 100% correct strategies at all. The reason why self-proclaimed gurus are going to promote them is to gain their own popularity and spread their own shitcoins. No strategy will ever be a full proof one.

The only thing that is going to help is buying low and selling high. Rest all indicators are going to only give a prediction and that too will end up 50% correct.

Eventually what I have learnt is that day trading is tough, but in long term trading, just stick to what I said, you will gradually gain profits.

Precisely, there can be no perfect strategies that will make you profitable at all times. They may be completely working at its early days but eventually, some turned out to be not working anymore that’s why strategies need to be improve and become advanced. But I don’t see them becoming obsolete and end up useless in time, of course they can still be useful but you need to know where they can be mostly helpful.

^Definitely right.
It should be 2-3 attempts that will become a failure and I think you need to proceed with other strategies and never stick to one strategy.
If this will not work for you, don't push yourself to use the same strategy because we have plenty of strategies that probably we use. However, this is only a tool in trading but strategies are only tools that we can use in trading. We cannot fully rely in our strategy, sometimes we need to hear news and events that could technically move the price. But at least this strategy will help you to increase your chances in predicting the price.

They do not become obsolete, but some of them work at some times, and some others work at other times. So if you learn what RSI is, then you could make a move and at times it will be the right move, and at times it will be the wrong move.

This is because there is also other things than the chart that decides the movements of bitcoin. Like lets say it looks oversold, and it will have a correction and it should go up right? Then something happens like FTX and it goes down even more. This doesn't mean that RSI is bad, doesn't mean it wasn't oversold, it just means that you happened to bought it at wrong time and it will get better with time if you be patient.

[Captain Corporate]

No trading strategy ever becomes obsolete if it worked at some time or another. The ones that work are there to work again when the time comes. Its just hard to adjust a strategy to work at ALL times, that just doesn't exist at all. I understand some people would prefer it if that was the case, like have one strategy and not work or think about that ever again, but that's not going to happen and that doesn't exists. So the best thing to do right now would be making sure that you are making a profit this way more than you should, and that's a pretty good deal, and then when the time passes, put it at bench and bring out the new one and cycle them that way.

[nurilham]

I thought it would not be like that. The trading strategy will still work if the strategy is in accordance with its development. This means it will depend on what kind of strategy is used. Analytical techniques will certainly develop on a regular basis in accordance with technological developments and also charts on the market. Maybe the same trading strategy will not always work, therefore, this is the function of evaluating each trading activity so that we can evaluate whether the trading strategy is still working or not. But on the other hand, trading strategy with indicator analysis is not the only thing being done. To get maximum ahsuil, we also have to understand Fundamental analysis and have good enough emotional management so that we can support our strategy to be more successful and reduce pressure.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I do not think that any commercial strategy becomes obsolete, quite the contrary, I think that one way of trading is through how the great traders of the years 1800-1900 did, which was crazy, these techniques are always going to prevail over time, which are the same as now, but some have given them some kind of name, and that is what makes them different and of course now there is more technology, there are better tools to analyze the markets, I think that there are so many things and tools that it is not known how a commercial strategy can be, if the market speculators had entered at this time I think they would have made a lot of money.

[Peanutswar]

This thing still depends on the investors, if they know how the market moves too for sure they would like to make manipulation like it what happens when Elon musk makes a tweet regarding bitcoin the coins goes dumped because of this kind of action, even though you have a good technical analysis if there's a manipulation with the whales there's a huge impact with it. Also not everyone in investment really makes an invest with their marketing strategy some of them just put it on and wait for their long term trading plan.

[virasisog]

Trading strategies will never be obsolete because even small time and beginners and trading could apply or even create their own effective strategies. Technical analysis will always be a big help in trading and is still being used by professional traders.
Trading strategies will work and will always be helpful especially if traders would know how to apply them in all types of market conditions. Trading will always be challenging and new strategies could possibly exist but having complete knowledge about their application will always be an edge.

[monineklutak]

in a bearish market like now, the ratio for success is very small, because the market tends to fall and makes prices like altcoins very dangerous,
cases such as FTT, CELCIUS and LUNA have provided evidence that trading strategies are not successful. I have proven this in the past year and lots of lose that I get,
but during a bull market, the trading strategy you use I'm sure will always work.
