Strategy library

Rules you can check before you trade them.

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.

Pivot Point Breakout

levels everyone computes the same way

Floor pivots are arithmetic: the pivot is yesterday's high, low and close averaged, and R1 and S1 are simple reflections of it. Nothing is drawn by hand and nothing is judged.

Consolidation Box Breakout

a rectangle with four touches

A consolidation box is two horizontal lines that price has respected at least twice on each side. It is the halfway house between a trendline and a session range: drawn by hand like the first, but horizontal and objective like the second.

Previous Day High / Low Break and Retest

PDH / PDL liquidity levels

The previous trading day's high and low are the most widely watched intraday levels in FX. The trade is continuation on the break of one of them.

Pin Bar at a Higher-Timeframe Level

the control case for Day 5

A pin bar is a candle whose wick is at least two thirds of its total range, whose body sits in the opposite third, and which closes on the correct side of the level.

Bollinger Band Fade

two standard deviations

Bollinger bands put a number on how unusual the current price is, in units of its own recent volatility. A close outside the lower band means price is further from its twenty-period average than it has been about ninety-five percent of the time.

What the evidence rating means

Strong

The mechanism has peer-reviewed, FX-specific research behind it.

Moderate

The mechanism is sound, but at least one step of it is untested.

Weak

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.

What the level means

Beginner

One instrument, one timeframe, every rule visible on the chart.

Intermediate

Several conditions have to line up, and execution starts to matter.

Professional

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.

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.
