4 sample strategies, explained from the ground up

No black boxes. Every template states what it thinks, which market it fits and where it is weak — understand first, use second.

Mean reversion

Sideway Reversal (RSI + Bollinger Bands)

Deliberately misses opportunities during the news session itself
