Styles & Methods – Educational Framework
Common styles include trend‑following, mean‑reversion, breakout, event‑driven, and algorithmic. Choose one, write precise rules, and validate with both historical and forward demo tests. Educational only; keep risk small and journaling rigorous.

Trend vs Mean‑Reversion
Trend methods align with direction and use structural or ATR‑based stops; mean‑reversion fades ranges with tight risk. Both require clear invalidation and realistic cost assumptions.
Breakout & Event‑Driven
Breakouts focus on volatility expansion; event‑driven trades around scheduled releases. Define exposure limits and test execution during fast moves on demo.
Algorithmic
Codify rules, backtest broadly, then forward‑test live conditions on demo to capture spreads, slippage, and stability. Keep leverage modest.
