What the common strategies guide covers

Most trading strategies are variations on a few ideas: follow a trend, trade a breakout from a range, fade the edges of a range, or hold swings over several days. Each tries to capture a particular kind of market behavior, and none works in every condition. Choosing a strategy is really about matching an approach to the market you are in and to how much time and risk you can handle.
