Most "trading strategy" articles stop at a vague idea. Every strategy in this library is written the same testable way: exact entry trigger, stop-loss placement, exit rule, and the market conditions it needs — so you can take any of them straight into chart replay and find out how it performs for you before risking a cent.
A strategy only becomes yours after you've traded it 50+ times. That normally takes months on live markets; on replayed historical charts it takes days. Pick one below, learn the rules, then backtest it candle by candle — free, in your browser.
How to use this library
- Pick one strategy that fits your timeframe: scalping (minutes), day trading (hours) or swing trading (days).
- Learn the exact rules — entry, stop, target, and when not to trade it.
- Replay 30–50 sessions on random historical charts, taking only that setup.
- Review your stats — win rate, average win/loss — and only then decide whether to trade it, tweak it, or drop it.
