The Strategies section on Volensy is a curated library of trading strategies that give you specific, actionable setups you can apply to real markets. Unlike the Education section, which teaches concepts and theory, Strategies provide complete trading plans with defined entry rules, exit rules, market recommendations, and performance data. This guide explains how the Strategies section works, what information each strategy provides, and how to choose the right strategies for your skill level and trading style.

Accessing the Strategies Section

From your Volensy dashboard, click Strategies in the left sidebar navigation. This opens the Strategies Library, a grid of strategy cards similar in layout to the Education Library. Each card represents a complete trading strategy with all the information you need to evaluate and apply it.

What Each Strategy Includes

Every strategy in the Volensy library is presented as a detailed strategy page containing the following information:

Title and Description

Each strategy has a clear, descriptive title (such as “EMA Crossover Momentum Strategy” or “RSI Divergence Reversal”) and a summary that explains the core logic behind the strategy. The description tells you what market conditions the strategy is designed for and the general approach it takes (trend following, reversal, breakout, etc.).

Difficulty Badge

Every strategy is assigned a difficulty level:

• Beginner (green badge) — Simple strategies with straightforward rules. These typically use one or two indicators and have clear entry and exit conditions. Ideal for traders who have completed the Beginner education track.
• Intermediate (yellow badge) — More complex strategies that combine multiple indicators or require understanding of market structure. Best suited for traders who have worked through the Intermediate education track.
• Advanced (red badge) — Sophisticated strategies that may involve multiple timeframe analysis, quantitative methods, or advanced order management. Designed for experienced traders comfortable with complex setups.

Timeframes

Each strategy specifies which timeframes it is optimized for. This could be a single timeframe (e.g., “4H”) or a range (e.g., “15M to 1H”). Using a strategy on its recommended timeframe is important because the rules and performance data are calibrated for those time intervals. Applying a 4-hour strategy to a 1-minute chart will produce very different (and likely worse) results.

Markets

Strategies specify which markets they work best on. Some strategies are designed for cryptocurrency, others for forex or stocks, and some work across multiple asset classes. The market recommendation helps you match strategies to the instruments you actually trade.

Win Rate

Each strategy displays a historical win rate based on backtested data. This percentage tells you how often the strategy produced a winning trade in historical testing. For example, a strategy with a 62% win rate historically won 62 out of every 100 trades.

Risk-Reward Ratio

The risk-reward ratio tells you how much potential profit each trade offers relative to the risk taken. A ratio of 1:2 means for every $1 you risk, you aim to make $2. Higher risk-reward ratios mean the strategy targets larger wins relative to its losses. Combined with win rate, this gives you a complete picture of the strategy’s expected performance.

Filtering Strategies

At the top of the Strategies page, filter controls let you narrow down the library:

By Difficulty

Select Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced to see only strategies at your preferred skill level. If you are just starting out, filter by Beginner first and gradually explore higher-difficulty strategies as your skills improve.

By Market

If you only trade cryptocurrency, filter by crypto markets. If you trade forex, filter accordingly. This ensures you only see strategies relevant to the instruments in your trading portfolio.

By Timeframe

If you prefer day trading on lower timeframes, filter for strategies optimized for 5M to 1H. If you are a swing trader, look for 4H to Daily strategies. Matching your preferred trading style to the strategy’s timeframe is one of the most important decisions you will make.

Strategy Detail Pages

Clicking on any strategy card opens the full strategy detail page. Here you will find:

• Complete strategy rules — Exact conditions for entering a long or short trade.
• Exit rules — Take profit targets, stop loss levels, and any trailing stop methodology.
• Indicator setup — Which indicators to add to your chart and what settings to use.
• Visual examples — Chart examples showing the strategy in action, with labeled entry points, exit points, and key levels.
• Performance summary — Win rate, risk-reward ratio, average trade duration, and other relevant statistics from backtesting.
• Tips and notes — Practical advice for using the strategy effectively, including common mistakes to avoid.

How Strategies Differ from Education Content

It is important to understand the distinction between Education articles and Strategies:

| Aspect | Education | Strategies |
|——–|———–|————|
| Purpose | Teach concepts and theory | Provide actionable trading setups |
| Focus | “Why” behind trading decisions | “How” to execute specific trades |
| Structure | Explanatory articles | Rule-based trading plans |
| Content | Concepts, examples, explanations | Entry rules, exit rules, performance data |
| Usage | Learn and understand | Apply to real markets |

Education teaches you to fish. Strategies give you proven fishing spots.

The best approach is to use both together: study the Education content to understand the underlying principles, then apply that knowledge through the Strategies section. When you understand why a strategy works, you can adapt it to changing market conditions instead of blindly following rules.

Choosing the Right Strategy

Consider these factors when selecting a strategy:

1. Your skill level — Start with strategies at your difficulty level. A Beginner strategy with simple rules you execute correctly will outperform an Advanced strategy you misapply.
2. Your available time — Lower timeframe strategies require active monitoring. If you cannot watch charts during the day, choose a 4H or Daily strategy.
3. Your preferred markets — Trade what you know. If you have experience with forex, pick forex-optimized strategies first.
4. Risk-reward alignment — Choose strategies whose risk-reward ratio matches your risk tolerance. More conservative traders should favor higher risk-reward ratios.
5. Backtesting results — Review the win rate and performance data. Consider running your own backtest using the Volensy Backtest Suite to validate the numbers on your preferred asset.
