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.

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.
A large share of failed evaluations are not losing accounts. They are profitable accounts that broke an operational rule — a position held over a restricted period, a trade placed around a restricted event, a lot size above a cap, a strategy the firm does not allow.
Passing changes the objective completely. During an evaluation the goal is to reach a target once. On a funded account the goal is to produce a payout repeatedly without ever breaching a loss rule that usually still applies.
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.
A stripped-down version of the previous page, and in some ways a more honest one. There is no trend filter at all. There is a level that many people can see on a slow chart, and there is a fast chart used only to enter near it with a small stop.
Every page so far has required the timeframes to agree. This one trades the disagreement: the daily trend is up, the hourly is stretched and turning down, and the trade is the short.
The stop hangs a fixed number of average true ranges below the highest high the trade has reached — so it rises as the trade works and never falls. The distance adapts to the market's own volatility rather than to a round number of pips.
Every retail course says always use a stop. The research says something more specific and more useful: whether a stop-loss helps depends on what the price series does.
Two positions of the same size in gold and in EURGBP are not two equal bets. Gold's daily range can be several times the cross's, so the gold position is doing most of the work and carrying most of the risk while looking identical on the platform.
An account holding long EURUSD, long GBPUSD, long AUDUSD, short USDJPY and short USDCHF believes it has five positions at 1% each. It has one position at something close to 5%, and it will discover this on the day the dollar moves.
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.
