Ever walked into a messy kitchen first thing in the morning?
Plates everywhere. Spills on the counter. Half a cup of cold coffee from yesterday.
That’s how most trading charts look.
Overloaded. Cluttered. Confusing.
I used to stack indicators like I was building a sandwich — RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, moving averages from five different timeframes.
It felt like I was doing analysis.
But really, I was just hiding behind the mess.
Too many lines blur your thinking. Too many signals create noise.
A clean chart forces you to see price action for what it is, not what you hope it’ll be.
Once I stripped it down, I started to see structure. Clarity. Flow.
It wasn’t just easier on the eyes. It made my decisions sharper.
Clean charts, clean trades.
Try it. Ditch the clutter. Keep what earns its place.
— Gav, with coffee
