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.

A fast average crosses a slow one and you take the position. It is the first system almost everyone builds and it has been tested more times, by more people, than any other rule in this library.
A descending trendline connects successive lower highs. When price closes above it, the sequence that defined the move has ended.
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.
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.
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.
One bar moves a long way. Price then retraces into the middle of that bar, and the trade is taken there on the assumption that the move continues.
On a stock, volume is the number of shares that changed hands, reported by the exchange, and every participant sees the same number. On a spot currency pair none of that is true. Trading is spread across dozens of venues with no obligation to report, so there is no total.
Buy a new twenty-day high. Sell a new twenty-day low. There is no filter, no oscillator and no opinion, and versions of this have been traded since the 1960s.
The slowest page in the book and, for most retail accounts, the most useful one. A single decision is made at the weekly close — long, short, or flat — and it does not change until the next weekly close, whatever happens in between.
Hold while the daily close stays above a moving average; leave on the first close below it. No distance, no multiple — the exit is a statement about the trend's character rather than about how far price has moved.
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.
