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.

The most-traded idea in the market, and the one most often traded badly. A trend is running; price pauses against it; you join at the pause rather than at the extreme.
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.
Gold pays nothing. Holding it costs you whatever a safe inflation-protected bond would have paid, so when that real yield rises, gold becomes more expensive to hold, and when it falls, cheaper. The inverse relationship between gold and real yields is the most durable thing anyone has found about the gold price.
Gold is quoted in dollars, so part of every move in XAUUSD is not a move in gold at all — it is a move in the dollar wearing gold's clothes. Separating the two is the single most useful thing a gold trader can learn to do.
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.
Put the same momentum indicator on the daily, the four-hour and the hourly, and trade only when all three point the same way. It feels like three confirmations. It is not.
Hold while the daily close stays above a moving average; leave on the first close below it. No distance, no multiple — the exit is a statement about the trend's character rather than about how far price has moved.
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.
