The crossover of the 20 and 50 EMAs gives direction. The 200 EMA is a regime filter — you trade only in the direction the long-term slope agrees with.
Each instrument's own past twelve-month return predicts its future return. A positive sign means long, negative means short, with the position sized by inverse volatility.
ADX measures the strength of a trend, not its direction. Direction comes from the crossover of +DI and −DI.
The cloud is a forward-projected zone of consensus price. Inside it is equilibrium; a close outside it is a rejection of that equilibrium.
A fast average crosses a slow one and you take the position. It is the first system almost everyone builds and it has been tested more times, by more people, than any other rule in this library.
RSI above 70 is called overbought and below 30 oversold, and beginners are taught to sell the first and buy the second. Traded that way it is one of the more reliable ways to lose money in a trending market, because in a strong trend the RSI stays above 70 for weeks while price keeps going.
Draw from a swing low to a swing high and the tool marks 38.2%, 50% and 61.8%. The claim is that pullbacks stall at these fractions because of a mathematical relationship found in nature.
NR7 means today's daily range is smaller than every one of the previous six. An objective, binary marker of maximum compression.
The edge comes from daily momentum, which has the strongest evidence behind it in FX. The M15 chart is execution only — a way to get a better price inside a permission that has already been granted.
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.
