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.

Levels are the best-supported idea in retail technical analysis and the worst-specified. Everyone agrees they matter; almost nobody writes down how to draw one, which is why two traders looking at the same chart produce different lines and then disagree about whether the level held.
The 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.
Floor pivots are arithmetic: the pivot is yesterday's high, low and close averaged, and R1 and S1 are simple reflections of it. Nothing is drawn by hand and nothing is judged.
A consolidation box is two horizontal lines that price has respected at least twice on each side. It is the halfway house between a trendline and a session range: drawn by hand like the first, but horizontal and objective like the second.
Genuine EUR and GBP flow is thin through Tokyo hours, so price compresses into a narrow range. At the London open the largest share of global FX turnover comes online, and that compression breaks.
NR7 means today's daily range is smaller than every one of the previous six. An objective, binary marker of maximum compression.
The previous trading day's high and low are the most widely watched intraday levels in FX. The trade is continuation on the break of one of them.
The return of a session's first thirty minutes — measured from the previous session's close — predicts the return of its last thirty minutes.
FX returns carry a documented time-of-day pattern: currencies tend to depreciate during their own local trading hours and appreciate during foreign hours.
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.
