Trading is so simple.

I literally built a profitable system using two trendlines.

And it’s made me multiple 6-figures in profits.

Here’s my entire strategy & how to trade it (step-by-step):

I only use manually drawn trendlines, that’s it.

The system is built on 2 lines:

1. The Action Line (entry trigger)
2. The Safety Line (risk control)

Price either bounces or breaks… and that tells me what to do.

Setup #1: Trendline Bounce

You’re trading the continuation.

Price touches and respects a clean trendline, that’s your entry.

Same line acts as your stop. If it breaks, you exit.

It’s that simple.

Bounce Entry Rules:

Trendline must have 2–3 clean touches
At least 1 week of data from first touch to entry
Enter on the third touch

Stop goes just beyond the line

Why Bounce works:

- Entry + exit on the same line
- Tight risk
- Clean invalidation

If price closes through your line, you're out.

No stress or second guessing.

Setup #2: Trendline Break

This time you're trading the reversal.

Price breaks through a clean trendline, and confirms a new trend.

You enter after the break, not before.

There are 2 types of Break setups:

2-touch break: More frequent, less reliable
3-touch break: Stronger trend, better confirmation

In both, you need a clear opposing trendline as your Safety Line.

Your Safety Line = your stop.

If price closes through it, the trade is invalid and you’re out.

This keeps your risk tight, even on volatile setups.

Quick Recap:

Bounce = continuation
Break = reversal

Every setup needs:
• Clean trendlines
• At least 2–3 touches
• A safety line to define risk

No indicators or confusion.

Just structure.

Pros of this system:

• No indicators - pure price action
• Simple entry/exit rules
• Works on any instrument or timeframe
• Repeatable + backtestable

And the best part…

You only need 1 hour a day.

Thanks for reading!

If you want a clean, rule-based way to trade trendlines:

• Draw your Action Line
• Wait for a bounce or break
• Use your Safety Line for risk
