Strategy Vault
Documented setups, not signals. Each entry lists the style, the session it works in, the difficulty to execute, and the win profile you should expect — so you can judge fit before you ever risk a contract.
Opening Range Breakout (ORB)
Mark the first 15 minutes of the New York session as a range on NQ or ES, then trade the break of that range once it holds. A structured way to get positioned early on trend days without guessing direction before the bell.
Moderate win rate (roughly 40-50%), asymmetric winners on trend days. Most losses are small and fast; the strategy pays for itself on the handful of days that run.

Initial Balance Break & Retest
Use the first hour's high and low — the Initial Balance from market-profile theory — as the day's key battleground. Trade the break of that range, then the retest, for a higher-conviction version of an opening breakout.
Fewer setups per week than a 15-minute ORB, but a cleaner signal. Win rate improves because the retest requirement filters out weak breaks; losers tend to be small since the retest level doubles as a tight stop reference.

VWAP Mean Reversion
Fade extreme moves away from VWAP once price reaches the 2nd or 3rd standard-deviation band, targeting a return to the volume-weighted average price. Works best in range-bound, two-sided sessions rather than trend days.
Higher win rate (often 55-65%) with smaller, more consistent wins. The tradeoff is occasional sharp losses when a trend day overrides the reversion tendency, so risk control matters more here than in breakout strategies.
Edge Pro unlocks this strategy.
VWAP First Pullback Continuation
On confirmed trend days, use the first pullback to VWAP as a continuation entry in the direction of the trend, rather than fading it. The same VWAP level used for reversion becomes a launch pad for trend continuation.
Higher win rate on correctly identified trend days (often 55-65%), with the strategy's edge concentrated almost entirely in day-type selection rather than entry precision.

Liquidity Sweep Reversal
Trade the reversal that follows a raid through prior day high/low or a session high/low, when price reclaims the level after sweeping resting stops. A structured way to fade a trap rather than chase the initial spike.
Moderate-to-high win rate when the reclaim is clean (roughly 50-60%), with losses concentrated in situations where the sweep was actually the start of a genuine breakout rather than a trap.
Edge Pro unlocks this strategy.
Displacement + Fair Value Gap Entry
Trade the retracement into a Fair Value Gap left by a strong displacement leg during a killzone session, entering in the direction of the impulse for continuation. Requires precise reading of imbalance and disciplined patience for the retrace.
Lower trade frequency but higher-conviction setups. Win rate depends heavily on displacement quality; clean, high-momentum impulse legs produce noticeably better outcomes than marginal ones.
Edge Pro unlocks this strategy.
Order Block + OTE Zone
Fade into a fresh order block that lines up with the 62-79% Fibonacci retracement (the 'optimal trade entry' zone) after a liquidity sweep during a killzone.
Lower win rate (35-45%), larger average winner. You are paying for precision entries with a real stop, so losers are small and controlled while winners run into prior structure.
Edge Pro unlocks this strategy.
The Silver Bullet Window
Trade fair value gaps that form specifically inside the 10:00-11:00 AM ET window, in the direction of the prevailing intraday bias.
Moderate win rate (45-55%) with tight, mechanical risk. The edge comes from restricting an otherwise generic FVG setup to a single, historically liquid, narrow window.
Edge Pro unlocks this strategy.
SMT Divergence Crack
Compare NQ and ES at a shared session high or low — when one makes a new extreme and the other fails to confirm it, trade the reversal in the direction the weaker instrument suggests.
Lower-frequency, moderate win rate (40-50%), but the divergence itself acts as a built-in filter that screens out many low-quality reversal attempts other traders take blind.
Edge Pro unlocks this strategy.
Break of Structure Continuation
After a change of character (CHoCH) confirms a new trend direction, trade each subsequent break of structure (BOS) as a continuation entry in the new trend.
Higher win rate (50-60%) trend-following setup with smaller average reward per trade, since entries occur mid-trend rather than at the extreme.
Edge Pro unlocks this strategy.
News Fade
After a high-impact news release (CPI, FOMC) produces an initial spike, wait for the spike to exhaust and trade the reversion back toward pre-news levels.
Inconsistent win character with real tail risk. This is included for education on how post-news reversion behaves, not as a strategy to trade casually or without extensive simulation first.
Edge Pro unlocks this strategy.
Power Hour Momentum
Trade the acceleration of the prevailing intraday trend during the final hour of the regular session, when closing-related volume and rebalancing flows tend to extend the day's move.
Moderate-to-higher win rate (50-55%) when the day's trend is already clear, with modest but consistent reward per trade rather than large single-trade wins.
