ADX Trend-Strength Filtered DI Entry
Wilder DMI systemADX measures the strength of a trend, not its direction. Direction comes from the crossover of +DI and −DI.
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: WeakIntermediate
Ichimoku Kumo Breakout
all four conditionsThe cloud is a forward-projected zone of consensus price. Inside it is equilibrium; a close outside it is a rejection of that equilibrium.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Opening Range Breakout
the first thirty minutes set the dayThe first thirty minutes of a session is the day's only genuine two-sided auction — overnight orders, the open, and everyone who waited for it, all in one window. The high and low of that window are the two levels every intraday trader can see.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
ATR Channel Breakout
a level that moves with volatilityEvery other level in this book is fixed once it is drawn. This one is not: the channel sits a set number of average true ranges away from a moving average, so it widens when the market gets loud and tightens when it goes quiet.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Weekly Range Breakout
the level a whole week builtLast week's high and low are the same two numbers on every chart in the world, and they took five days of trading to build. That makes them the most-watched levels in this book after the previous day's.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
NR7 Volatility Contraction Breakout
Crabel's narrowest range of sevenNR7 means today's daily range is smaller than every one of the previous six. An objective, binary marker of maximum compression.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Intraday Momentum
opening period predicts closing periodThe return of a session's first thirty minutes — measured from the previous session's close — predicts the return of its last thirty minutes.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Displacement Continuation
range and body, nothing elseDisplacement is a candle with a large body and small wicks. Two mechanical gates define it: range > 1.5 × the average range of the prior twelve bars, and body ≥ 70% of that candle's range.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Rate of Change Threshold
momentum as a number, not as a crossingThe simplest possible measurement: price now divided by price N bars ago. If it is above a threshold, the instrument is in an uptrend; below, a downtrend. No smoothing, no crossings, no lag beyond the lookback itself.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Proximity to the 52-Week High
how close to the top of the range, rather than how far it has comeA different way of measuring the same effect. Instead of ranking by return, rank by how close price is to its own twelve-month high. The two rankings often disagree, and the difference is informative.
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.

- Nothing here has been run on a live account by us yet. Every card says so, and the score has a band for it that is currently zero.

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.
