Strategy Description & Rules
Master Price Action Trading Strategies
A human-tested price action framework based on market structure, support and resistance, supply and demand zones, breakouts, breakdowns, and candlestick confirmation. The objective is to compare the strategy's educational claims with actual market behavior.
Strategy Overview
The strategy focuses on reading price rather than relying on traditional technical indicators. The market is first classified as an uptrend, downtrend, or sideways market before important support, resistance, supply, and demand areas are identified.
Price is then monitored as it approaches these areas. A trade is considered only when price action provides a potential confirmation, such as a rejection wick, strong impulsive candle, breakout, or breakdown.
Core Price Action Concepts
Market Structure
Higher highs and higher lows indicate an uptrend, while lower highs and lower lows indicate a downtrend.
Support & Resistance
Previous reaction areas are marked as potential levels where price may reject or break through.
Supply & Demand
Areas showing significant buying or selling pressure are monitored for potential reactions.
Breakouts & Breakdowns
Price breaking established levels is evaluated for continuation or potential false-breakout behavior.
Human Testing — Not Fully Automated
This strategy is currently being tested through human analysis and manual execution. It is not a completely automated Expert Advisor.
Some parts of the strategy can potentially be converted into mechanical rules, but identifying meaningful market structure, selecting quality levels, and interpreting candlestick confirmation still involve human judgment during this testing phase.
Testing Process
Identify Market Structure
Determine whether buyers, sellers, or neither side currently appears to have control.
Mark Key Levels
Identify relevant support, resistance, supply, and demand areas.
Wait for Price Action
Allow price to reach the level instead of entering simply because the level exists.
Human Confirmation
Evaluate rejection candles, momentum candles, breakouts, or breakdowns before considering entry.
Claim vs Reality
The purpose of this test is not to assume that price action automatically provides a trading edge. The strategy is being evaluated against actual market conditions to determine whether the concepts described in the educational material produce repeatable results.

Automated Verification & EA Insights
This page provides a detailed analysis of the MASTER PRICE ACTION Trading Strategies (Full Course), originally shared by the popular YouTube content creator Neeraj joshi. Many automated trading videos make high-win-rate claims that might not reflect typical live trading conditions, which is why we coded this strategy into a standardized Expert Advisor (.ex5 file) to verify those claims using historical backtests.
During our evaluation of the original ruleset, we analyzed trade frequency, risk exposure, and maximum drawdown. If the strategy tester results showed significant gaps between the creator's video claims and reality, we noted the discrepancies above. You can download the compiled EA directly to run your own backtests on your broker's terminal using the universal tester key provided.
For traders interested in a more robust implementation, we also offer an optimized version. Our team refines the core rules by adding advanced filters, trailing stops, and spread protections to address common issues like false breakouts and high latency, transforming educational YouTube concepts into structured algorithmic trading tools.

The Effortless Trading Strategy for Small Accounts
Strategy OverviewThis strategy is optimized specifically for small trading accounts ($500 and under or micro prop firm accounts) to avoid over-leveraging and aggressive drawdowns. Rather than relying solely on standard trend following, it categorizes market conditions into four key states: Trending, Ranging, Reversals, and Breakouts.Core Execution RulesSupport & Resistance Identification: Tracks local high and low levels over a set lookback window.Proximity Test: Waits for price action to touch or come within a fraction of an ATR of defined support or resistance zones.Confirmation Trigger: For long setups, price must break and close above the high of the rejection candle at support. For short setups, price must break and close below the low of the rejection candle at resistance.Risk Management: Fixed 1:2 Risk-to-Reward ratio with stop losses dynamically placed just past the swing rejection extreme. Dynamic sizing limits loss to a predefined risk percentage (e.g. 1% per trade).

The ARC Method Trading Strategy
ARC Method Strategy OverviewThe ARC (Area Range Candle) strategy is an institutional mean-reversion and range-trading framework designed to systematically capitalize on key price levels established by market makers and institutional orders.Key System ComponentsArea (A): Mapping out the daily 'Box High' (Previous Day High) and 'Box Low' (Previous Day Low), alongside macro 'Swing High' and 'Swing Low' levels. Trading is strictly executed at outer boundaries (buy support, short resistance), avoiding low-probability middle ranges.Range (R): Measures the range of the daily box ($BoxHigh - BoxLow$). Signals require an unabated push of at least 20% of the box range before looking for entries. Targets are mathematically structured between 50% (mid-range) to 100% (opposite extreme) of the total range.Candle (C): Identifies institutional orderflow defense via rejection candle wicks (Hammers / Inverted Hammers, dubbed 'John Wicks') that touch boundary support/resistance zones, triggering on a subsequent candle high/low break.

7PM Trading Strategy : Catch Trades Between 7PM-12AM
Strategy OverviewThe 7PM Fair Value Gap (FVG) Trading Strategy leverages the high-volatility window around the US Stock Market opening bell (9:30 AM EST / 7:00 PM IST). High institutional order flow during this timeframe creates distinct price imbalance zones (Fair Value Gaps) on a 15-minute timeframe. The strategy seeks to capture retracements into these FVGs between 7:00 PM and 12:00 AM IST (or corresponding server hours).Core Rules & FiltersTime Window: 7:00 PM to 12:00 AM IST (Monday to Friday). Weekend trading is strictly excluded due to low market depth and false signals.Timeframe: 15-Minute Chart.Bullish FVG: Formed when the low of candle 3 is higher than the high of candle 1, created by a strong bullish momentum candle 2.Bearish FVG: Formed when the high of candle 3 is lower than the low of candle 1, created by a strong bearish momentum candle 2.Entry Criterion: Limit entry or immediate market execution as soon as price retraces back into the active FVG zone within the session hours.Risk Management: Stop loss placed at the opposite edge of the FVG structure or candle boundary. Take profit target fixed at 1:2 Risk-to-Reward ratio.

Pure Price Action Supply and Demand Strategy
Strategy OverviewThis strategy relies entirely on price action, market structure, and supply/demand zones without utilizing any technical indicators or macroeconomic fundamentals. By mapping market structure (Higher Highs/Higher Lows for uptrends, Lower Lows/Lower Highs for downtrends), the system identifies structural shifts and key supply/demand zones formed prior to momentum pushes.Core Trading RulesTrend Identification: Determine directional bias using high/low market structure. Uptrend = buy only; Downtrend = sell only.Zone Marking: Identify consolidation areas (the last candle prior to a strong pro-trend expansion impulse). Mark as Demand Zone in an uptrend, or Supply Zone in a downtrend.Trade Entry: Wait for price to pull back and retest the active Supply/Demand Zone in the direction of the dominant trend.Risk Management: Maintain a minimum 1:2.5 Risk-to-Reward ratio. Set stop loss beyond the supply/demand zone boundary and target the recent structural high/low.Confirmation Filter (Optional): Switch to lower timeframes (e.g., 2-minute) to await a secondary market structure change inside the HTF zone to increase win rate and tighten stop losses.

The Simple A+ Market Mechanics Trading Strategy
Strategy OverviewThe A+ Market Mechanics Strategy is a high-probability Smart Money Concepts (SMC) framework developed by The Trading Geek. It relies on strict market structural hierarchy, filtering out low-probability trades by aligning internal market structure shifts with higher-timeframe swing directions within defined Discount and Premium price zones.Core Structural Rules & MechanicsHigher-Timeframe (HTF) Swing Structure: First, establish the dominant swing range by identifying valid Swing Highs and Swing Lows. A break above a major Swing High confirms a bullish trend; a break below a major Swing Low confirms a bearish trend.Premium / Discount Range: Calculate the 50% Equilibrium level of the active major swing range. High-probability long trades (A+ setups) are strictly taken in the Discount zone (< 50%). High-probability short trades are taken in the Premium zone (> 50%).Internal Change of Character (CHoCH): Wait for price to pull back deep into the discount/premium zone and mitigate a Point of Interest (POI) or sweep internal structural liquidity. Once internal structure shifts back in alignment with the higher-timeframe direction (Internal Market Shift / CHoCH), an entry trigger is generated.Risk-to-Reward Execution: Stop Losses are anchored structurally below the internal swing pivot with an ATR buffer. Trades target a minimum static Risk-to-Reward ratio of 1:2.5 or the opposing swing liquidity level.

Crypto Funding & Price Arbitrage Trading Strategy
Strategy OverviewThis strategy explores three forms of arbitrage in crypto derivatives trading across multiple exchanges (such as Delta Exchange, Shark Exchange, and CoinSwitch) via multi-exchange unified trading terminals like MirrorPip:Spot/Futures Price Arbitrage: Capturing temporarily wide price spreads between two exchanges by buying long on the cheaper exchange and shorting on the expensive exchange simultaneously.Funding Rate Arbitrage: Capitalizing on significant funding rate disparities (e.g., +0.1% to +0.4% per 8-hour or 3-hour period) by buying long where funding is paid/zero and shorting where funding payouts are extremely high, creating delta-neutral income.Implied Volatility (IV) & Expiration Arbitrage: Exploiting differences in option expiration times and implied volatility across exchanges by shorting option contracts with higher premium/earlier expiry and locking long legs on cheaper exchanges.Trade Rules & ParametersEntry Filters: Limit order execution to eliminate order slippage and ensure trading fee overhead (including taker/maker fees and taxes) does not exceed funding yield.Position Hedging: Simultaneously hold 1:1 opposing positions on two different exchanges to neutralize price market risk.Exit Rules: Unwind both long and short legs once funding rates equalize or options reach targeted time decay levels.

TJR Updated 2026 Day Trading Strategy
Strategy OverviewThis strategy represents TJR's updated institutional execution model designed for Day Trading index markets (S&P 500, NASDAQ) and currency pairs. It focuses heavily on higher-timeframe draws on liquidity (specifically Session Highs/Lows established during London) and utilizes ICT-based structural sweeps, Market Structure Shifts (MSS), and dynamic confirmations on lower timeframes (5-Minute / 1-Minute).Key Parameters & Indicators:London Session (02:00 - 08:00): Establishes the core daily high and low session anchors representing key pockets of resting sell-stop and buy-stop liquidity.NY Session Execution Window (09:30 - 16:00): The core operational phase where liquidity sweeps are monitored and parsed.Market Structure Shift (MSS): A swing level structural breakdown confirming that the manipulation phase is complete, shifting distribution direction.Equilibrium / Fair Value Gap (FVG): Confluence areas used to structure pending limit entries within the displacement leg.Risk to Reward Ratio: Structured strictly at 1:1.33 to maintain long-term statistical dominance.Execution Methodology:Manipulation: S&P/NASDAQ rises above the London session high (sweeping buy stops) or drops below the London session low (sweeping sell stops).Shift Confirmation: A clear, impulsive candle breaks structure (MSS) on the 5-Minute timeframe.Retracement & Entry: Limit entry is structured directly at the displacement leg's Equilibrium (50% level) or dynamic FVG zones.Strict Risk Mitigation: Stops are dynamically positioned right above the local swing high/low of the sweep with a 1.33x take profit offset.

The 15-Minute Pattern Scalp Strategy
Strategy OverviewThe Pattern Scalp is an opening range reversal strategy designed to take advantage of high volatility and institutional position manipulation during the first 1 hour of the trading session. Built around the 15-minute opening range and refined using a 5-minute execution chart, the strategy seeks to identify exhausted fast-moving candles, validating institutional traps, and reversing the direction for high-probability setups.Key Parameters & InputsATR Length: 14 days (applied on the Daily timeframe) to establish the standard expected range.ATR Multiplier: 20% threshold to validate if the opening 15-minute range is an abnormal "manipulation candle."Timeframes: 15-minute chart used to mark the opening range, 5-minute chart used for pattern execution.Strategy FiltersOpening Range Phase: Wait for the first 15-minute candle of the session to fully complete.Manipulation Test: Calculate the high-to-low height of the 15-minute opening range. If the size is > 20% of the Daily 14-period ATR, the market exhibits institutional manipulation, unlocking trade viability.Reversal Direction: If the opening 15-minute candle was bearish (closed lower than open), seek Bullish setups. If it was bullish (closed higher than open), seek Bearish setups.Entry RulesJohn Wick (Hammer / Inverted Hammer) Pattern: On the 5-minute execution chart, identify a Hammer candle (bullish setup) or Inverted Hammer (bearish setup). Enter immediate buy/sell positions upon breakout of the wick high/low.Power of Tower (Engulfing Reversal) Pattern: If an aggressive 5-minute counter-candle covers at least 50% of the previous manipulation-direction candle, enter instantly at the close of the pattern.Exit RulesTake Profit: Target the opposite boundary of the 15-minute opening range (High of the day for Longs, Low of the day for Shorts). If the trigger occurs near the range edge, apply a fallback risk-to-reward limit of 1.5x of your risk.Stop Loss: Placed directly below the wick of the Hammer (for Longs) or above the wick of the Shooting Star (for Shorts).
