Also in Build with QuantLogic

These starting ideas are in the app today. Their pages are not written yet: engulfing, hammer and shooting star, morning and evening star, doji, tails, wide-range and outside bars, three-bar reversals, double tops and bottoms, head and shoulders, flags, V shapes, tight-range breakouts, gamma walls and the flip, round numbers, pivots, the high and low of the day, RSI, EMA 9 and 21, Bollinger bands and volume twice the usual.

How to read these pages

  • Each page draws the idea with made-up candles. None of it is market data or anyone's trades.
  • The rule is the one the app runs, word for word, on every closed one-minute bar of the regular session (09:30 to 16:00 New York time).
  • No page says an idea works. Whether it holds on your market, at your time of day, is what you test.
