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 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 / MomentumVWAP 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 / MomentumOpening 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 / MomentumGap 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 / MomentumMomentum 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 / MomentumFlag / 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 / MomentumBollinger 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 / MomentumCup 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 ReversionMean 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 ReversionSupport / 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 ReversionReversal / 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 ReversionBollinger Band Mean Reversion
Buy the lower band, sell the upper band, and hope the market stays in a range instead of starting to trend.

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

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

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

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 PatternsAdvance 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 PatternsHoming Pigeon
A small candle contained inside the prior candle's body looks like a harami either way. The color of that small candle is what actually decides whether it means reversal or continuation.

Candlestick PatternsSeparating Lines
A counter-trend candle appears, then the next candle opens at essentially the same price and reverses hard back in the original direction, separating cleanly from the bar before it.

IndicatorsMACD Crossover / Divergence
A fast 12-period EMA minus a slow 26-period EMA, plotted against its own 9-period EMA signal line. Crossovers are the basic read, divergence against price is the sharper one.

Chart PatternsBroadening Formation (Megaphone)
Two trendlines diverging instead of converging, higher highs and lower lows both widening, a volatility expansion the mirror opposite of a triangle.

IndicatorsADX 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

Drag a connecting line across two RSI swings, matching price bars auto-highlight while a live slope-mismatch readout does the divergence math
IndicatorsParabolic 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.
