Volume-Confirmed Liquidity Sweep
the spike is the evidenceStops rest above a level. When price takes it with a wick and closes back inside, that is a sweep.
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.

Volume-Confirmed IB Extension
initial balance range extensionThe initial balance is the high-low range of a session's first hour — that session's first two-sided auction.
Evidence: ModerateProfessional
Value Area Retest
the prices where the day actually did businessInstead of asking when the market traded, a volume profile asks where: how much activity happened at each price. The result is usually a fat middle where most business was done and thin tails where price passed through quickly.
Evidence: ModerateBeginner
Bollinger Band Fade
two standard deviationsBollinger bands put a number on how unusual the current price is, in units of its own recent volatility. A close outside the lower band means price is further from its twenty-period average than it has been about ninety-five percent of the time.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Keltner Channel Fade
bands built from range, not deviationA 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.

Weekend Gap Reversion
the overreaction with its own paperTwo days of news arrive into a market that cannot trade, and on Monday it all prints at once. The opening gap is a single, forced repricing with no liquidity behind it — which is the textbook condition for an overreaction.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Daily Range Exhaustion
the day has spent its budgetA pair has an average daily range, and most days it does not travel much further than that. When price has already covered its whole average range by mid-session, the rest of the day is more likely to be spent going sideways or giving some back than extending.
Evidence: StrongIntermediate
Session Volatility Window
trade the hours that actually moveIntraday volatility in FX is not flat and it is not random across the day. It follows a shape driven by which financial centres are awake, and that shape is one of the most stable patterns in the whole market — stable enough that high-frequency researchers have to remove it before they can model anything else.

Top-Down Alignment
direction from the daily, entry from the intradayThe 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.
Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Higher-Timeframe Level, Lower-Timeframe Trigger
the level is the edge; the trigger is the discountA 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.
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.
