How to combine turnover, spread, buying pressure and trend into a single named value, so an entry reads as one decision instead of six unrelated compa…
Name the session segment once at the top instead of repeating time comparisons, then give pre-market, the first half hour and the afternoon their own…
Start from yes and let each check say no. A structure that keeps a five-condition entry readable and makes it obvious which check rejected a candidate…
Five independent ways a day trade has to be able to end, checked in order. Paste this exit block under whatever entry you are testing before tuning an…
A surge filter compared against the symbol's own recent average, not an absolute number, plus a spread guard — because a surge is when the spread is w…
Most people write 'above the average' and mean 'crossing it'. The two produce very different trade counts. Here is the crossing form and what changes.
An entry that reads second-by-second buy and sell volume against resting book size, so a signal is only taken when flow supports the direction you wan…
A pre-market strategy that never carries a position into the opening auction. Entry conditions, the flat-before-09:30 rule, and why that rule is not o…
A minimal scalping entry: a strong move, strong buying pressure, and a spread narrow enough that the round trip does not eat the target.
A stop and target sized from how much the instrument actually moves, instead of a fixed percentage that is too tight on one name and too loose on anot…
The same trend idea written on one-minute factors instead of per-second ones, for when you do not want to react to every tick. Shows the _1m suffix in…
The smallest strategy that is actually complete: one entry condition and three ways out. Use it as the thing every more complicated idea has to beat.
The strategy a beginner writes, with the four things it is missing marked in place: no liquidity floor, no spread check, no time exit, no session clos…
Enter on the dip rather than the breakout: price above the long average and rising, but momentarily below the short one. Includes why this beats chasi…
Buy weakness only after the fall has stopped: down more than 4 percent, weak buying pressure, and price already off its low. Entry, exit and risks.
A first-hour breakout that fires only when price clears the recent high on above-average turnover, with a fixed target, stop and time exit.
One idea written tight, middle and loose. If only the tight version works, you found a fluke; if all three work, you may have found something.
A deliberately over-engineered entry, shown so you can recognise the shape. Every condition looks reasonable and together they fit the past, not the f…
A strategy stated as a claim you can falsify: it only fires when the condition it depends on is measurably true, so a bad run tells you the claim fail…
Enter a move only when buy volume genuinely leads sell volume over the same window. The angle sets the trend, the volume ratio decides whether to trus…
A breakout restricted to the first hour, requiring price above the session high plus turnover and buying pressure, so the move has something behind it…
Three checks — daily turnover, resting size and spread — that keep a strategy out of names where the fill will cost more than the edge it is chasing.
A gate that only lets entries through when volatility sits inside a band. Bolt it onto any strategy to stop it trading in conditions it was never test…
A deliberately dumb entry that trades often and holds briefly. If your idea cannot beat this after costs, the idea is not the edge — the market moveme…
A map of the free, open trading strategies by what you are trying to learn — first strategy, exits, filters, order flow, overfitting. Start here if yo…
Three conditions stacked deliberately so the strategy stays out most days. Use it to see how quickly added filters cut trade count — and whether that…
A counter-trend entry after price stretches below its average, written with the warning that belongs on it: fading a trend is how most retail accounts…
Fixed target and stop, time exit, give-back exit and session close-out — the four exit blocks every intraday strategy is built from, and what each one…
Restrict entries to a chosen part of the session and force a flat position before the close. Drop your own entry condition into the marked line.
