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 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.
On the last business day of the month, large asset managers rebalance their currency hedges, and that rebalancing executes at the 16:00 London fix.
Cumulative delta is aggressive buy volume minus aggressive sell volume, kept as a running total. It tells you who is behind a move.
Stops rest above a level. When price takes it with a wick and closes back inside, that is a sweep.
On a scheduled macro release the exchange rate jumps immediately. That jump is not your trade — the adjustment after it is.
The initial balance is the high-low range of a session's first hour — that session's first two-sided auction.
Not a strategy — a gate. Compute each bar's activity relative to the same bar's own recent average, and refuse every entry that arrives while activity is below average.
VWAP 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.
In an efficient market, the act of trading leaves a trace. Buyers lift the ask and sellers hit the bid, so observed prices alternate between the two sides even when nothing about the instrument has changed. Roll showed this produces negative serial correlation in consecutive price changes — and that the size of it measures the spread itself.
Every scalping strategy has the same denominator: the spread you pay. That spread is not constant through the day — it is narrowest when the most participants are in the market, and the range available to trade is widest at the same time.
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.
