Trading concepts, explained properly
24 guides to the indicators, price action concepts and risk mechanics that actually decide whether an account survives. No signals, no hype — the definitions, the formulas, and the mistakes that cost people their evaluations.
Indicators
6 guidesRSI (Relative Strength Index)
A 0–100 momentum oscillator. What overbought actually means, why it is not a sell signal, and how divergence works.
Read guideATR (Average True Range)
A volatility measure, not a direction signal. The cleanest input available for stop distance and position size.
Read guideVWAP
The session's volume-weighted average price — an institutional benchmark and the most watched intraday reference level.
Read guideMACD
Two moving averages, a signal line, and a histogram — trend direction and momentum shift in one indicator.
Read guideBollinger Bands
A moving average with volatility envelopes. Best used to identify compression before expansion — not to fade every band touch.
Read guideMoving Averages
The foundation most other indicators are built on. SMA vs EMA, the periods that matter, and why crossovers lag.
Read guidePrice Action
6 guidesFair Value Gap (FVG)
A three-candle imbalance left behind by a fast move. How to mark one correctly and why price so often returns to it.
Read guideMarket Structure
The sequence of swing highs and lows that defines trend. BOS, CHoCH, and how to know when a trend has actually ended.
Read guideOrder Blocks
The last opposing candle before an impulsive move. Valid criteria, invalidation, and why most drawn blocks are not blocks.
Read guideLiquidity & Stop Hunts
Resting orders above highs and below lows. Why price hunts them, and how to stop being the liquidity that gets taken.
Read guideSupport & Resistance
Zones, not lines. How to draw levels that matter, why they flip, and why fewer levels beat more.
Read guideCandlestick Patterns
Anatomy of a candle, the few patterns worth knowing, and why the same pattern means opposite things in different locations.
Read guideRisk Management
4 guidesPosition Sizing
The formula that converts risk percentage and stop distance into lots — and the single biggest cause of failed evaluations.
Read guideRisk-Reward Ratio
R:R is meaningless without win rate. The breakeven table, and why 5R targets often produce worse results than 2R.
Read guideDrawdown
The rule that ends most evaluations. Daily vs maximum, static vs trailing, and what balance each is measured against.
Read guideStop Losses
Where to place a stop, why it belongs at invalidation and not at a comfortable dollar amount, and why widening one is fatal.
Read guideOrder Types
1 guidesMarket Mechanics
7 guidesSupply & Demand
Zones where an order imbalance caused a sharp move away. Fresh zones, base formation, and the first-retest rule.
Read guideLeverage
Leverage changes how much margin a position needs — not how much you risk. The distinction most traders get wrong.
Read guideNotional Value
The total market value your position controls — the honest measure of exposure, not the margin you posted.
Read guidePips & Lot Sizes
What a pip is worth, how lot sizes scale, and how to work out value per point on any instrument you trade.
Read guideSpread & Slippage
The costs that do not appear on your chart. Why they spike exactly when you need them not to.
Read guideTrading Sessions
When volume actually shows up. Session characteristics, the overlap, and choosing hours that fit your strategy.
Read guideHFT (High Frequency Trading)
What HFT firms actually do, how it affects your fills, and why prop firms restrict latency-based strategies.
