Strategy Selection Framework
Step 1: Identify Market Regime
TRENDING (Unbalanced):
→ Price making HH/HL (bull) or LH/LL (bear)
→ ADR > 80% of 20-day average
→ Clear displacement candles visible on 1H+
→ Volume profile: THIN shape (strong directional flow)
→ Best strategies: ICT MSS+FVG, Market Maker Models, Displacement Trap Entry
RANGING (Balanced):
→ Price oscillating between defined H/L
→ ADR < 60% of 20-day average
→ Volume profile: D-SHAPE (heavy middle, light edges)
→ Best strategies: Mean Reversion, S&D Zone Fades, Asian Range Fade
TRANSITIONING:
→ After extended trend, first signs of exhaustion
→ Volume profile: P-SHAPE (top-heavy) or B-SHAPE (bottom-heavy)
→ Best strategies: Liquidity Trap, Breaker Block entries, counter-trend CRT
Step 2: Match Session to Strategy
| Session | Best Strategies | Skill File |
|---|
| Asia (00:00-07:00 UTC) | Asian Range Fade, range identification | session-scalping.md |
| London (07:00-12:00 UTC) | Judas Swing, London breakout, ORB | session-scalping.md |
| NY (13:30-17:00 UTC) | Silver Bullet, ICT 2022, Flip+Sweep | ict-smart-money.md |
| NY afternoon (17:00-20:00 UTC) | Mean Reversion, Session Sweep | session-scalping.md |
| Overlap (13:30-16:00 UTC) | Highest volatility — all trend strategies valid | ict-smart-money.md |
Step 3: Match Asset to Approach
| Asset Class | Primary Strategy | Notes |
|---|
| Forex majors | ICT/SMC, dual-TF auction | Best during their session killzone |
| Gold (XAUUSDm) | Order Flow + ICT, Silver Bullet | NY session only, high volatility |
| Indices (US30/NAS/SPX) | ORB, Session Sweep, VWAP | NY open, first hour |
| Crypto (BTC/ETH) |
