In the world of trading and investing, “low-hanging fruit” refers to trades or investments that are “easy” or “obvious”, and these are the types of trading opportunities that you want to learn to identify and take advantage of if you want to truly put the odds of trading success in your favor. Thus, the ‘low-hanging fruit’ trading approach is really the ultimate minimalist trading method because you don’t need to commit a lot of time looking for trading opportunities and once you find them you don’t need to commit a lot of time to managing them.
