Every strategy carries its exact rules, an annotated chart of the setup, the research behind why it should work at all — and the conditions under which you should not take it.

The simplest exit there is: measure the distance to your stop, call it 1R, and place the target at a fixed multiple of it. Two R, three R — the number is a choice, but it is made once and applied to every trade.
Take half off at a modest multiple, move the stop to break even, let the rest run. It is probably the most widely used management rule in retail trading and it is worth being precise about what it does.
Close the position after a fixed number of bars, whatever it is doing. No level, no indicator — just the clock.
Every retail course says always use a stop. The research says something more specific and more useful: whether a stop-loss helps depends on what the price series does.
The mechanism has peer-reviewed, FX-specific research behind it.
The mechanism is sound, but at least one step of it is untested.
Practitioner literature only — no published research supports the mechanism.
It rates the mechanism — whether there is published research explaining why the market should behave this way. It does not rate profit. Strong does not mean the trade will work. None of these have been run on our own account, and no page here shows a backtest figure.
One instrument, one timeframe, every rule visible on the chart.
Several conditions have to line up, and execution starts to matter.
Needs an outside data feed, a basket, real order flow, or an unusual tolerance for lumpy losses.
The level describes what it takes to run the strategy, not how well it works. Several Beginner pages are better evidenced than several Professional ones — a basket carry trade is Professional because it needs eight currencies and a swap table, not because it is cleverer than buying a pullback.
Reading the library is free. A plan is what lets you turn one into a robot.
Trading carries risk and most retail accounts lose money. Nothing in this library is financial advice or a recommendation to trade. The charts are illustrations of the rules on constructed candles — they are not records of trades and not backtests.
