Description
Successful trading rarely relies on a single tool or indicator. Instead, traders combine multiple forms of analysis to build a more complete view of the market. This approach is known as confluence.
For example, a trader may combine market structure, liquidity levels, and a fair value gap to identify a high-probability setup. Each tool provides a different perspective, and together they create a stronger trading idea.
However, more tools do not always mean better results. Overcomplicating analysis can lead to confusion. The goal is to use a small number of complementary tools effectively.
