Decoded from: My Incredibly EASY Trading Strategy Made Me $31k This Month by Craig Percoco — watch the original

Strategy overview

A "Mixed" methodology means a strategy leans on more than one type of signal — combining structure, momentum and context rather than betting everything on a single indicator. Craig Percoco's video packages one such approach under a deliberately low-friction label: an "incredibly easy" strategy, headlined by a $31,000 result in a single month.

That headline is worth reading carefully, because a raw dollar figure is one of the least informative numbers a trading video can lead with — it has no denominator. $31k could come from a large account risking a modest percentage or a small one swinging for the fences, and those are completely different strategies with completely different risk. A single strong month is also a sample of one: it can show that the setup wins sometimes, not how often it wins, how deep its losing streaks run, or whether that month was skill or a friendly regime. None of that makes the method bad — it just means the number on the thumbnail is marketing, not evidence.

No explicit rules were extracted from this video, so treat it as a starting point rather than a finished system. The useful part is the concept — a simple, multi-signal discretionary approach — and watching how Percoco actually enters, sizes and exits, rather than the dollar figure attached to it. If you want to know whether an "easy" strategy holds up, the work is the same as for any other: reconstruct the rules yourself and test them across far more than one month of data before trusting them with capital.

Frequently asked questions

What is a "Mixed" methodology trading strategy?

It's an approach that combines several types of signal — for example price structure, momentum and market context — instead of relying on a single indicator. The goal is to confirm a trade from more than one angle, though it also means more moving parts to define and test.

Does the $31k-in-a-month claim mean the strategy is proven?

No. One month is a single data point, and a dollar amount with no account size or risk-per-trade attached can't tell you the strategy's actual return or edge — the same $31k could represent a huge gain or a tiny one depending on the capital behind it. Treat headline figures as marketing until you see the method tested over a meaningful sample.

Is a "simple" or "easy" trading strategy actually better?

Simplicity has real advantages: fewer rules are easier to execute consistently and harder to overfit. But easy to describe is not the same as easy to profit from — the honest test is how the setup performs out-of-sample, across different market conditions, not how clean it looks in a video.

How can I evaluate a strategy like this one for myself?

Reconstruct its entry, exit and sizing rules and backtest them over several months of historical data before risking money. Strategy Decoder extracts the structure of strategies from video sources so you can review and test them on TradingView.
