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.

A pin bar is a candle whose wick is at least two thirds of its total range, whose body sits in the opposite third, and which closes on the correct side of the level.
A break of structure is a candle that closes above the previous swing high, in an uptrend. It is a mechanical definition of 'the trend continued' — no more and no less than that.
The full validated sequence: liquidity taken → displacement → break of structure → retracement → confirmation.
A dealing range runs from a clear swing low to a clear swing high. Its midpoint is equilibrium: the upper half is premium, the lower half is discount.
Three consecutive candles where the first bar's high sits below the third bar's low leave a band of prices that barely traded. Price moved through it too quickly for an auction to happen.
Stops rest above a level. When price takes it with a wick and closes back inside, that is a sweep.
The initial balance is the high-low range of a session's first hour — that session's first two-sided auction.
A sharp move ends on one enormous bar with far more activity than anything around it, and the reading offered is that the last holders capitulated into buyers who were waiting.
VWAP is not just another average. It is the benchmark large orders are graded on — a desk that fills above VWAP on a buy has done a bad job — which gives the level a real reason to attract orders rather than merely describe them.
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.
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.
