Trading Strategy Practice Lab

1. Daily completed bars: close above SMA50 and SMA50 above its value five sessions earlier.
2. Previous RSI14 below 30; current RSI14 at least 30.
3. Current low tests a premarked support zone within 0.25 ATR14; close above prior close and support.
4. Completed volume at least the mean of the preceding 20 completed daily volumes.
5. Model a next-session entry only if its price remains above the planned stop and below the target.

Prices and indicators use the completed-bar and session conventions in the full guide. The ATR trail tool demonstrates protective-stop sequence only, not the full SMA200 exit simulation.

1. Daily close above a resistance line tested on two distinct earlier sessions separated by at least three sessions.
2. Prior close at or below resistance; current close above resistance and above SMA50.
3. Completed volume divided by mean volume of preceding 20 sessions at least 1.5.
4. No scheduled earnings inside the next five trading sessions; unknown calendar information remains unresolved.
5. Model next-session entry, with entry no more than 0.5 ATR14 above resistance.

1. Daily SMA20 above SMA50; both above their values five completed sessions earlier.
2. Current low within 0.25 ATR14 of SMA20; close above SMA20.
3. Confirmation close above previous session high.
4. Close above the premarked higher-low invalidation level; that level is fixed before confirmation.
5. Consider next-session entry only when a premarked prior-high target remains above entry.

1. Daily SMA50 above SMA200 and above its own value five sessions earlier.
2. Completed close above both SMA50 and SMA200.
3. A flat paper position may enter on the next session under this state; this is a state entry, not necessarily a fresh crossover.
4. Initial modeled stop equals entry minus two times the last completed ATR14.
5. Record no-flow share quantity, charges, and all event checks before a proposed entry.

1. Previous daily EMA12 at or below EMA26; current EMA12 above EMA26.
2. Current close above both current averages.
3. MACD histogram positive using the same completed daily bars and 12/26/9 settings.
4. Model next-session entry; initial stop equals entry minus 1.5 ATR14.
5. Use one position per symbol; a persistent above-state is not a new entry event.

1. Premark support and resistance, each with two earlier tests on distinct sessions.

3. Close above support, above open, and above the previous close.
4. RSI14 between 30 and 50 inclusive at the confirmation close.
5. Next-session modeled entry must be below resistance minus 0.1 ATR14.

1. US regular-session example: form the range from 09:30 through 09:45 America/New_York using three completed five-minute bars.
2. Only inspect later completed bars; previous close at or below range high and current close above it.
3. Current close above regular-session VWAP.
4. Current five-minute volume at least 1.5 times the mean of the three opening-range bar volumes.
5. Only signals with bar end after 09:45 and no later than 11:00; model next-bar entry, no more than 0.25 range heights above range high.

1. Use completed five-minute regular-session bars after 09:45 and no later than 14:30 New York time.
2. Pre-reclaim close at or below its corresponding session VWAP; reclaim close above its own VWAP.
3. A later retest low within 0.1 of the retest-bar ATR14 of retest VWAP.
4. Retest close above retest VWAP and above retest open; both bars must be from the same session.
5. Reclaim volume at least the mean of the preceding five completed five-minute bars; model entry after retest completion.

1. Completed five-minute bars after 09:45 and no later than 14:30 New York time; same regular session.
2. Prior close below prior session VWAP.
3. Current high at least current VWAP and at most VWAP plus 0.1 ATR14.
4. Current close below current VWAP, below current open, and below prior close.
5. Short availability and applicable restrictions must be confirmed independently; unknown is unresolved, not approval.

Prices and indicators use the completed-bar and session conventions in the full guide. The ATR trail tool demonstrates protective-stop sequence only, not the full SMA200 exit simulation.

1. Daily breakout close above a premarked resistance line and breakout volume ratio at least 1.5 versus preceding 20 sessions.
2. Retest occurs one to five completed sessions after breakout.
3. Retest low between resistance minus 0.25 ATR14 and resistance plus 0.25 ATR14.
4. Retest close above resistance and above retest open.
5. Model next-session entry after retest; cancel if it exceeds resistance plus 0.5 ATR14.

1. Daily bands use SMA20 plus/minus two population standard deviations of the same 20 completed closes.
2. Absolute SMA20 change over five sessions divided by current ATR14 at most 0.5.
3. Prior close below prior lower band; current close back above current lower band but below current middle band.
4. Current close above prior close.
5. Model next-session entry only below the middle-band target fixed at confirmation.

1. Calculate band width as (upper minus lower) divided by positive middle band times 100.
2. Previous completed band width at or below the 20th percentile of the 60 band widths preceding that previous observation.

4. Current close above the highest high of the 20 sessions preceding the current session; prior close not above its own preceding-20 high.
5. Completed volume ratio at least 1.5 against preceding 20 sessions; model next-session entry.

2. Current close above that channel; prior close at or below its own preceding-20 channel.
3. At least 21 prior bars required to test both current and prior channel events.
4. Model next-session entry; initial modeled stop equals entry minus two ATR14.

2. Stock return greater than zero; stock return minus benchmark return at least five percentage points.
3. Current stock close above SMA50.
4. Current stock close above its preceding-20-session high; prior close at or below its own preceding-20 high.

3. After 09:45 and no later than 11:00, a completed five-minute close freshly crosses above the opening-range high.
