Daily Breakout Retest
let the break go, buy the returnA daily level breaks. Most traders are in on the break. This one is not — it waits for price to come back to the level it just broke and hold it.
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 daily level breaks. Most traders are in on the break. This one is not — it waits for price to come back to the level it just broke and hold it.
Some strategies pass challenges easily and some do not, and it has little to do with how profitable they are. A method with a high hit rate and modest winners produces a smooth curve that clears a target without ever approaching the floor. A trend method with the same annual return arrives in three trades and spends the rest of the time in drawdown.
The standard three-timeframe structure, written out properly. The daily chart decides whether you may trade and in which direction. The four-hour decides where. The fifteen-minute decides when.
The stop hangs a fixed number of average true ranges below the highest high the trade has reached — so it rises as the trade works and never falls. The distance adapts to the market's own volatility rather than to a round number of pips.
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.
