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.

Execution Quality

the difference between your backtest and your fills

Two accounts running an identical bot on the identical strategy will produce different results, and on a scalping timeframe the difference can be larger than the edge. The cause is execution: how the order is routed, how long it takes, and what happens when the market moves while it is in flight.

The Low-Variance Profile

many small trades rather than a few large ones

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.

Top-Down Alignment

direction from the daily, entry from the intraday

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.

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.
