Evidence: StrongIntermediate
Previous-Session High / Low Sweep
liquidity taken, then reversalMark the previous session's high and low. Stop orders rest just above and just below those two levels.
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.

Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Break and Retest (Acceptance)
intraday level, continuationAn intraday level that price has respected two or three times. When price closes through it, comes back, and then holds on the correct side of it, the trade is continuation.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Failed Breakout Reversal
the break that does not stickPrice breaks a level, everyone who was waiting for the break is in, and then it closes back inside. Those positions are now wrong, their stops sit just beyond the level, and the move away from it is fed by them being taken out.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Compression Into a Level
when the pullbacks stop reaching backPrice approaches a level and, instead of bouncing away, each pullback from it becomes shallower. The lows step up, the level holds flat, and the space between them runs out.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Break of Structure Continuation
BOS, then a higher lowA break of structure is a candle that closes above the previous swing high, in an uptrend. It is a mechanical definition of 'the trend continued' — no more and no less than that.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Premium / Discount in a Dealing Range
a location filter, never a signalA dealing range runs from a clear swing low to a clear swing high. Its midpoint is equilibrium: the upper half is premium, the lower half is discount.
Evidence: WeakIntermediate
Order Block Retest
the last opposing candle before the moveThe last down candle before a strong move up is marked as a zone, and a return to it is treated as a place to buy. The reasoning offered is that institutional orders were placed there and that some of them remain unfilled.
Evidence: WeakIntermediate
Fair Value Gap Fill
the thin patch a fast move leaves behindThree consecutive candles where the first bar's high sits below the third bar's low leave a band of prices that barely traded. Price moved through it too quickly for an auction to happen.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Volume-Confirmed Liquidity Sweep
the spike is the evidenceStops rest above a level. When price takes it with a wick and closes back inside, that is a sweep.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
VWAP Reversion
the price institutions are measured againstVWAP is not just another average. It is the benchmark large orders are graded on — a desk that fills above VWAP on a buy has done a bad job — which gives the level a real reason to attract orders rather than merely describe them.
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.
