Evidence: StrongProfessional
Local-Hours Currency Momentum
the time-of-day tiltFX returns carry a documented time-of-day pattern: currencies tend to depreciate during their own local trading hours and appreciate during foreign hours.
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.

Volatility-Normalised Momentum
momentum in units of its own noiseRaw momentum is a trap: a fixed percentage move is enormous in a quiet market and entirely ordinary in a volatile one. A fixed threshold has no idea which regime it is in.
Evidence: StrongProfessional
Cross-Sectional Currency Momentum
rank them, hold the winners, short the losersEvery other momentum page in this book asks whether this instrument is trending. This one asks a different question: of the currencies available, which have been strongest, and which weakest?
Evidence: StrongProfessional
The Momentum Crash Filter
the one thing that has reliably broken this familyMomentum's failures are not spread evenly. They arrive as crashes — short, violent periods where the losers rally hardest and a momentum book loses more in weeks than it made in years.

Liquidity Sweep → Market Structure Shift
the full sequenceThe full validated sequence: liquidity taken → displacement → break of structure → retracement → confirmation.
Evidence: StrongProfessional
Asian Range Sweep → London MSS
the session's first moveThe Asian range high and low are the two most obvious levels on the chart, and stops rest on both sides of them.
Evidence: ModerateProfessional
Structure Break Failure
the break that turns out to be the topA structure break is supposed to confirm continuation, which is exactly what makes a failed one informative. Price takes out the last swing high, everyone treats it as confirmation, and then it closes back below.
Evidence: WeakProfessional
Accumulation to Expansion
a long quiet range that ends in one directionA market spends a long time in a narrow range, sweeps one side of it without following through, and then leaves in the other direction. The sweep is read as the last of the sellers being absorbed before the move.

London 16:00 Fix Flow
month-end rebalancingOn the last business day of the month, large asset managers rebalance their currency hedges, and that rebalancing executes at the 16:00 London fix.
Evidence: StrongProfessional
Signed Order Flow Continuation
trade with the tape, not against itCumulative delta is aggressive buy volume minus aggressive sell volume, kept as a running total. It tells you who is behind a move.
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.
