Macro-Announcement Jump Continuation
the adjustment, not the jumpOn a scheduled macro release the exchange rate jumps immediately. That jump is not your trade — the adjustment after it is.
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.

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.
Evidence: StrongIntermediate
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: ModerateBeginner
CCI Extremes
deviation from the typical priceThe Commodity Channel Index measures how far the typical price — the average of high, low and close — sits from its own moving average, scaled by mean deviation. Unlike RSI it is unbounded: it can read −400, and sometimes does.
Evidence: WeakBeginner
Stochastic Reversion
the same reading, smoothed twiceThe stochastic asks the same question as Williams %R — where in the recent range did this bar close — and then smooths the answer twice. %K is the raw reading; %D is %K averaged again.
Evidence: WeakBeginner
Moving Average Envelope
a fixed percentage, on purposeAn envelope is a moving average with a fixed percentage band around it — not a standard deviation, not an ATR multiple. A half-percent envelope is half a percent whatever volatility is doing.
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: StrongProfessional
Microstructure Reversion
the spread's own footprintIn an efficient market, the act of trading leaves a trace. Buyers lift the ask and sellers hit the bid, so observed prices alternate between the two sides even when nothing about the instrument has changed. Roll showed this produces negative serial correlation in consecutive price changes — and that the size of it measures the spread itself.
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.
