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.

Displacement is a candle with a large body and small wicks. Two mechanical gates define it: range > 1.5 × the average range of the prior twelve bars, and body ≥ 70% of that candle's range.
Mark the previous session's high and low. Stop orders rest just above and just below those two levels.
Orders cluster disproportionately at whole figures — 1.0900, 1.1000 — and at the half figures between them.
An intraday level that price has respected two or three times. When price closes through it, comes back, and then holds on the correct side of it, the trade is continuation.
When two or three highs form at almost the same price, a visible pool of liquidity builds above them — the stop of everyone who sold there, plus every breakout buy order.
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.
A change of character is the first time a trend's own structure fails. In an uptrend: a candle closes below the last higher low.
The full validated sequence: liquidity taken → displacement → break of structure → retracement → confirmation.
The Asian range high and low are the two most obvious levels on the chart, and stops rest on both sides of them.
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.
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.
