Previous-Session High / Low Sweep
liquidity taken, then reversalMark the previous session's high and low. Stop orders rest just above and just below those two levels.
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.

Round-Number Rejection
the 00 and 50 figuresOrders cluster disproportionately at whole figures — 1.0900, 1.1000 — and at the half figures between them.

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.

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: ModerateProfessional
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.
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.
Evidence: StrongProfessional
The Liquidity Window
scalp the hours, not the patternEvery scalping strategy has the same denominator: the spread you pay. That spread is not constant through the day — it is narrowest when the most participants are in the market, and the range available to trade is widest at the same time.
Evidence: StrongProfessional
Surprise-Scaled Reaction
the number against the forecast, not the numberA release on its own carries no information. What moves price is the gap between what printed and what was expected — and the size of that gap, measured against how large surprises usually are for that release.
Evidence: ModerateProfessional
Liquidity Recovery Entry
let the spread come back firstEvery other approach to a release argues about direction. This one argues about time: liquidity provision and the cost of trading return to their pre-announcement levels within roughly five to fifteen minutes of a release.
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.
