Strategy library

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: ModerateBeginner

Bollinger Band Fade

two standard deviations

Bollinger bands put a number on how unusual the current price is, in units of its own recent volatility. A close outside the lower band means price is further from its twenty-period average than it has been about ninety-five percent of the time.

Keltner Channel Fade

bands built from range, not deviation

A Keltner channel measures the same distance as a Bollinger band but with a different ruler: average true range instead of standard deviation. Range reacts to gaps and spikes differently from deviation, so the two bands disagree exactly when it matters most.

Weekend Gap Reversion

the overreaction with its own paper

Two days of news arrive into a market that cannot trade, and on Monday it all prints at once. The opening gap is a single, forced repricing with no liquidity behind it — which is the textbook condition for an overreaction.

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.

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.
