NR7 Volatility Contraction Breakout
Crabel's narrowest range of sevenNR7 means today's daily range is smaller than every one of the previous six. An objective, binary marker of maximum compression.
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.

Evidence: ModerateIntermediate
Intraday Momentum
opening period predicts closing periodThe return of a session's first thirty minutes — measured from the previous session's close — predicts the return of its last thirty minutes.
Evidence: ModerateProfessional
Volatility-Normalised Momentum
momentum in units of its own noiseRaw momentum is a trap: a fixed percentage move is enormous in a quiet market and entirely ordinary in a volatile one. A fixed threshold has no idea which regime it is in.
Evidence: WeakIntermediate
Fair Value Gap Fill
the thin patch a fast move leaves behindThree 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.
Evidence: WeakProfessional
Activity Climax Reversal
the bar where everyone finally gave upA 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.
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.

- Nothing here has been run on a live account by us yet. Every card says so, and the score has a band for it that is currently zero.

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.
