Strategies

Trading strategies you can actually play with.

Every strategy on this page comes with something to drag, click, or step through, not a wall of text. See the mechanics move before you decide whether they're for you.

Trend / Momentum

Trend Following (Moving Average Crossover)

Ride a trend for as long as two moving averages agree on direction, and get out the moment they don't.

Live backtest sandbox — drag the fast/slow MA periods, watch entries, exits, and the equity curve redraw

Trend / Momentum

VWAP Reclaim / Reject

Price crossing back over VWAP looks like a signal every time. Only some of those crosses actually hold.

Call-it game — the tape pauses at every real VWAP cross, you take it or skip it, then it's scored in R

Trend / Momentum

Opening Range Breakout (ORB)

The first minutes of the session set a box. Twenty simulated days show how often the break out of it actually holds.

Clickable 20-day outcome grid, click any day to see the price path behind it

Trend / Momentum

Gap and Go

A stock gaps hard overnight and the trade is betting the gap keeps going once the open bell rings.

Pre-market scanner grid, twelve tickers scored on gap size, volume, float, and catalyst, click one to watch the open

Trend / Momentum

Momentum Scalping

Small, fast trades on short bursts of momentum, where the real opponent is often the cost of trading itself.

60-second reflex simulator, enter and exit a live tape and watch friction eat into every round trip

Trend / Momentum

Flag / Pennant Continuation

A sharp move pauses, consolidates in a tight channel, then often resumes in the same direction it started.

Drag two trendlines to fit the channel yourself, then test the breakout against a measured-move target

Trend / Momentum

Bollinger Band Squeeze Breakout

Volatility contracts before it expands. A tight enough band squeeze usually resolves into a real move.

Live bandwidth gauge that visibly coils as the squeeze builds, then fires into a breakout or a false start

Trend / Momentum

Cup and Handle Breakout

A rounded base with a shallow pullback near the rim, then a breakout with a measured target above it.

Click-to-trace pattern scorer, pick the rims and cup low yourself and get a 0–100 validity score

Mean Reversion

Mean Reversion (RSI Pullback)

Buy the stretch, not the breakout. An RSI pullback inside an uptrend is a bet that price snaps back toward its average.

Elastic rubber-band visualizer synced to a live RSI gauge, stepped candle by candle

Mean Reversion

Support / Resistance Bounce

A level only matters if price has actually respected it before. Test that directly instead of assuming.

Drag a horizontal level anywhere on the chart, every touch auto-tags as a bounce or a break

Mean Reversion

Reversal / Fade Trading

Betting against a move that's gone too far too fast. The catch is a strong trend never technically has to revert.

Heat-colored bar strip ranked by standard-deviation extension, click any bar to place a fade and see if it worked

Mean Reversion

Bollinger Band Mean Reversion

Buy the lower band, sell the upper band, and hope the market stays in a range instead of starting to trend.

Live bands with a consecutive band-to-band streak counter that resets the moment price walks the band

Mean Reversion

Overnight Gap Fade

A stock gaps at the open, and the trade bets it fills back toward yesterday's close before the session ends.

Real-time race-clock simulator, watch a gapped session play forward to see if the fill lands before the close

Breakout

Range Breakout

A tight consolidation range breaks in one direction. The trade is betting that move continues instead of failing.

Options Income

Iron Butterfly

Same four-strike, defined-risk family as an iron condor, but both short strikes sit at the same price.

Draggable single-peak payoff tent with a probability-of-profit heat bar that widens and narrows with the wings

Options Income

Broken Wing Butterfly

An asymmetric butterfly, one wing wider than the other, that can eliminate risk entirely on one side of the trade.

Drag two independent wing widths and watch live-painted profit, loss, and true no-risk zones under the curve

Options Income

Earnings IV Crush Play

Selling premium into an earnings date to collect the implied-volatility collapse that follows the announcement.

Inflate an IV gauge into earnings, release it, then find the actual-move crossover where the trade loses anyway

Options Directional

Long Call / Long Put

The simplest options trade there is, pay a premium, pick a direction. The part that's hard to picture is the daily bleed.

Time decay theater — watch the P&L curve morph into the expiration hockey stick as days count down

Options Directional

Bull Call Spread / Bear Put Spread

Sell a further-out option against the one you bought and the debit drops, with a ceiling attached.

Draggable 2-strike payoff diagram with a single-leg comparison line you can toggle on

Options Directional

Long Straddle / Long Strangle

Buy a call and a put at once and direction stops mattering, only whether the move is big enough, fast enough.

A live race between a time-decay bar draining and a distance-to-breakeven bar filling

Options Directional

Protective Put (Married Put)

Own the stock, buy a put underneath it, and a crash stops being open-ended. The premium costs money either way.

Run a crash, a flat year, or a rally and watch the protected and unprotected lines diverge

Options Directional

Collar

A put below, a call above, the same shares in between. The call premium pays for the put, sometimes exactly.

Drag both strikes and watch a literal balance scale tip between what's paid and what's collected

Scaling In / Pyramiding

Add to a winning position in layers instead of committing full size at the first entry.

Ladder builder — stack layers, get a live blended entry price and total position risk

Trade Management

Scaling Out / Partial Profit Taking

Selling a winner in pieces instead of all at once, so a gain that's already real doesn't have to survive the rest of the move.

Click-to-sell simulator — sell tranches live as the price plays out, blended exit and R-multiple update every bar

Trade Management

Averaging Down

Adding to a loser to improve the average cost. Each add lowers the average and raises the capital stuck in the trade.

Live decline simulator, average down at will while capital deployed and the required bounce to breakeven recompute

Trade Management

Fixed-Fractional Position Sizing

Risk a percentage of current equity per trade instead of a flat dollar amount, so size shrinks automatically after losses.

Dual equity-curve race, fixed-fractional vs. fixed-dollar sizing run through the same streak, exposing the ruin gap

Market Neutral

Pairs Trading / Statistical Arbitrage

Not a bet on either stock, a bet on the gap between two correlated stocks snapping back to normal.

The same trend system, blended across eight unrelated markets instead of run on just one.

Toggle markets in and out of a live blend and watch the combined equity curve smooth out

Futures

Futures Calendar Spread (Roll Trade)

Holding a "continuous" futures position means rolling forward every month, and the curve's shape decides if that pays or costs.

Drag the term-structure curve into contango or backwardation, then run the monthly rolls

Crypto

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) as a System

Same total dollars, same asset, two different entry schedules racing on the same volatile price path.

Lump-sum vs. DCA race with a reroll button, so the "winner" stops being predictable

Rolling tape with a streak counter that only advances on bars mechanically passing the full pattern test, run against a naive same-color counter

Candlestick Patterns

Inside Bar / NR7 Breakout

A candle that trades entirely inside the range of the one before it is coiling, and the trade is the break of that small range.

Live range-rank subpanel flags real inside bars and NR7s, click to arm a two-sided breakout order and watch it resolve

Candlestick Patterns

Bull/Bear Harami Reversal

A small candle sitting completely inside the prior candle's real body shows the market suddenly losing conviction.

Drag a containment box around a small candle, live pass/fail against the prior candle's real body range

Candlestick Patterns

Piercing Line / Dark Cloud Cover

The second candle has to close back more than halfway into the first candle's real body, not just react in the right direction.

Animated second-candle print drives a live penetration-percentage gauge against the real body midpoint, flipping a qualify badge at 50%

Candlestick Patterns

Head and Shoulders Reversal

Pick the correct candle from several decoys, watch the tool shade its zone, then call whether the retest holds or fails

Market Structure (ICT)

Fair Value Gap Fill

Three candles print fast enough that the first candle's wick and the third candle's wick never overlap, leaving a gap price often revisits.

Live tape auto-detects every real three-candle imbalance, race the clock to see how many bars it takes to fill

Candlestick Patterns

Market Structure (ICT)

Wyckoff Spring / Upthrust

Inside a defined trading range, a spring is a false breakdown that snaps back in, an upthrust is the mirror false breakout, the older Wyckoff idea ICT's vocabulary is partly built on.

Adjustable volume-percentile slider reclassifies logged range tests live and recomputes the follow-through rate

Order Flow

Absorption at a Level

Price keeps testing the same level with real size trading through it, and the level still doesn't break, implying a large passive order sitting there.

Live reservoir gauge fills with cumulative volume on every touch, and flashes empty the instant the level actually breaks

Order Flow

Iceberg Order Detection

Two bearish candles land right after a strong uptrend and it looks like the top is in. Most of the time it isn't. This page tracks how often the alarm is right.

Step through generated setups as a 3-stage lamp panel escalates off real checks, then watch a true-reversal vs. false-alarm tracker build

Candlestick Patterns

Advance Block

Three green candles in a row, each closing higher than the last, can still be a warning if the bodies keep shrinking and the upper wicks keep growing underneath the surface.

A live strength-decay bar chart under each candle, drag the threshold to reclassify healthy advances vs. flagged blocks against real forward outcomes

Candlestick Patterns

Homing Pigeon

Drag two handles to fit the box over a real consolidation, a live trend-context score judges whether it's a genuine continuation setup or just a random range

Chart Patterns

Broadening Formation (Megaphone)

Two trendlines diverging instead of converging, higher highs and lower lows both widening, a volatility expansion the mirror opposite of a triangle.

Indicators

ADX Trend-Strength Filter

Wilder's directional movement system, used the way it's actually meant to be used: not as a signal, as a filter on other signals.

A real ADX/+DI/-DI panel gates an MA-cross signal, win rate and expectancy recompute live for filtered vs. unfiltered as the threshold moves

Indicators

RSI Divergence

Price makes a new high or low that RSI refuses to confirm, a real momentum-fading warning distinct from an RSI pullback entry.

Indicators

Parabolic SAR

Dots that trail price and accelerate as a trend extends, flipping to the other side on a stop-out, a trailing-stop mechanism as much as a signal.

The high and low set before the bell often act as real levels once the regular session opens.

Replay premarket into the open, a mechanical break-and-hold trade triggers and tallies by split

Day Trading Setups

Volume Climax Reversal

Day Trading Setups

More strategies are added on an ongoing basis — this run added 10 new pages, two extending Chart Patterns (symmetrical triangle breakout, Bat & Butterfly harmonic patterns) and eight fresh Day Trading Setups concepts (advance/decline line divergence, VWMA cross scalp, point of control migration, morning drive failure, the 3-bar play, a trading halt resumption play, a low-float float-rotation squeeze, and a market-on-close imbalance fade). They join the fully-cleared master list from prior runs.
