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.

When price closes above the highest high of the previous N bars, you take a position in that direction. In the Turtle programme, System 1 was a 20-bar breakout and System 2 a 55-bar one.
The crossover of the 20 and 50 EMAs gives direction. The 200 EMA is a regime filter — you trade only in the direction the long-term slope agrees with.
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.
Draw from a swing low to a swing high and the tool marks 38.2%, 50% and 61.8%. The claim is that pullbacks stall at these fractions because of a mathematical relationship found in nature.
A descending trendline connects successive lower highs. When price closes above it, the sequence that defined the move has ended.
An inside bar sits entirely within the previous bar's high-low range. Both conditions are required: high < mother high and low > mother low.
Bandwidth = (upper − lower) ÷ middle. When it sits in the bottom 20th percentile of its own 120-bar history, the squeeze is on.
A bar whose body completely covers the previous bar's body, closing in the opposite direction. Taken alone it is one of the weakest signals in retail trading — it happens constantly and predicts very little.
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.
The Commodity Channel Index measures how far the typical price — the average of high, low and close — sits from its own moving average, scaled by mean deviation. Unlike RSI it is unbounded: it can read −400, and sometimes 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.
