LINE AT %
Trade which line?   Stop 1.5 ATR, target 2.0 ATR — the least-bad of the twelve settings we tested.
Drag the peach line to move it, or type a percentage. Dragging anywhere else pans; scroll or the time axis zooms; drag the price axis to stretch it; double-click resets. Your line is measured by exactly the same rule as the three named levels: first touch, then how far price travelled back over the next 30 minutes, in ATR units.

The strategy frozen rules
  1. Mark the London session (03:00–08:00 ET) high and low. That is the dealing range.
  2. Draw levels at 25%, 50% and 75% of it. The theory says price reacts at these.
  3. In the New York session, wait for the first touch of the level you chose. Later touches do not count.
  4. Side is the direction price arrived from — you trade the bounce back the way it came.
  5. Enter at the close of the touching bar, not at the level itself.
  6. Stop 1.5 ATR, target 2.0 ATR. Flat at the 16:00 close either way.
  7. Our choices, not the video's: the video only says price “reacts” at these levels. The entry, the side, the ATR stop and target and the 16:00 exit are ours. The stop/target grid was tested on the 50% level; the 25% and 75% lines reuse its best setting. The ATR is the previous session's, so it is known before the trade.

What we found over 1040 sessions

A line at a random fraction of the London range produced a 4.53 ATR reaction (the middle 90% of 200 random lines: 4.28 to 4.75). The 25 level produced 4.82, the 50 level 4.75, the 75 level 4.35. Everything bounces, because price is always moving away from where it just was.

The 25% level beat every random line here — the one result on this page that stands out. On gold the same levels sit at the 52%, 30% and 18% marks of the random lines, so it does not carry over.

Trading it is worse than measuring it. Every one of the 12 stop/target combinations lost money, the best still at $-2.29 per trade after costs, with a family-wise p of 1.0000. Press BUY or SELL when a level is touched and you are trading the least-bad of those twelve.

The macro windows (:50 to :10) occupy exactly a third of all minutes and catch 33.5% of session turning points, against 33.3% expected by chance.

The video narrates every level after price already reacted to it. That is why a random-line control is the only fair test — and why this page hands you the random line instead of just describing it.

Something look wrong? Or want to ask about this test?

If a number here looks off, the chart misbehaves, or you think the rules were coded wrong — say so. Pages on this site have shipped with real mistakes and been corrected. The links below fill in what you were looking at, so the report is actually fixable.

REPORT A PROBLEM ASK ABOUT THIS STRATEGY “YOU CODED THE RULES WRONG”

How this was produced

The rules come from the teacher's own public video or write-up — or, for a textbook method or our own research, the page says so. They are coded as stated and run over years of futures data from a commercial market-data vendor, with commission charged on every trade; slippage is not modelled. Where a teacher gives no number, every value in the plausible range is tested and all of them are shown — not only the best one. Each page states the market, the period, the sample and the costs used.

Written with software. The tests are code, and the code and much of the writing were produced with AI assistance. Every result comes from that research code. The words around the numbers are written from those results — if you find one that disagrees with its own numbers, tell us and it gets fixed.

If a number here is wrong, say so. Email hello@tradingbite.net with the page and what you think is wrong. If a teacher believes their rules were read incorrectly, tell us how they should be read and we will re-run the test and publish the result, whichever way it goes.

This is not advice. These are tests of publicly taught methods on historical data, published so you can check them yourself. Past results do not predict future results. Trading futures can lose you more than you put in. Terms and full disclaimer ›
