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.

When price closes above the highest high of the previous N bars, you take a position in that direction. In the Turtle programme, System 1 was a 20-bar breakout and System 2 a 55-bar one.
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.
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.
A bar whose body completely covers the previous bar's body, closing in the opposite direction. Taken alone it is one of the weakest signals in retail trading — it happens constantly and predicts very little.
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.
Buy a new twenty-day high. Sell a new twenty-day low. There is no filter, no oscillator and no opinion, and versions of this have been traded since the 1960s.
The slowest page in the book and, for most retail accounts, the most useful one. A single decision is made at the weekly close — long, short, or flat — and it does not change until the next weekly close, whatever happens in between.
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.
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.
