Trading Strategies
14 complete operational strategies — setup, entry, stop, target, filters, common mistakes and real examples. Each strategy has its market logic explained in detail.
EMA Trend Following
One of the simplest and most profitable strategies in the long run. Based on the classic exponential moving average system to identify trend direction and seek entries on pullbacks.
Fibonacci Pullback (OTE)
The OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) is a concept popularized by the ICT methodology. It's based on Fibonacci 61.8%-79% levels as the optimal entry zone during pullbacks in a trend, maximizing R/R.
Propulsion Block
Order Block variant that forms mid-way in a strong trend, offering a re-entry point in the dominant direction without waiting for a reversal.
DXY Confluence Trading
Strategy that uses the inverse correlation between the Dollar Index (DXY) and major forex/commodity pairs as a confirmation filter to increase trade probability.
RSI Extremes + Support
Mean reversion strategy that exploits RSI overbought/oversold zones combined with key support/resistance levels. High win rate but requires strict filters to avoid trading against strong trends.
Bollinger Bands Mean Reversion
Exploits the return of price toward the middle band (SMA 20) of the Bollinger Bands after a touch of the outer band, in sideways or low-directionality markets.
VWAP Reversion Intraday
Intraday strategy that exploits extreme deviations of price from the daily VWAP, a key reference point for institutional operators.
Resistance Breakout
Breakouts of significant resistances often produce the most explosive moves. Low win rate but very high R/R — just one trade out of three hitting target is enough to be overall profitable.
Inside Bar Breakout
The Inside Bar is a two-candle pattern where the second is completely 'inside' the first (lower high and higher low). It indicates consolidation/indecision. The Inside Bar breakout in the direction of the main trend often produces explosive moves.
Silver Bullet (ICT)
ICT setup that exploits Fair Value Gaps formed during high institutional liquidity time windows (10-11 NY, 14-15 London), with ultra-precise entries.
RSI Divergence
Divergences between price and indicator are among the most powerful signals in technical analysis. They indicate that momentum is waning before price shows it visually — allowing early entries with excellent R/R.
MACD Divergence
MACD is one of the most effective momentum indicators for divergences. Combined with key price levels, it produces high-quality reversal setups on any market.
S/R Flip Entry
The S/R Flip (Role Reversal) setup is one of the cleanest and most reliable in price action trading. It exploits the phenomenon where an old broken support becomes a new resistance — and vice versa. Very precise entries with a tight stop.
Turtle Soup
Contrarian liquidity grab strategy: exploits the failure of a new high/low (false breakout) to enter in the opposite direction, catching trapped traders.
