The countless trading methods in circulation are, at bottom, just combinations of 'what you trade, on what philosophy, on what basis'. A bird's-eye view of 98 methods sorted into 7 types.
The trading books on shelves, the "secret methods" all over the internet, the products sold on social media — they number, literally, like the stars. But take a survey of 98 methods catalogued in one review compilation and dismantle them one by one, and a fact emerges. Almost every method is a variation on a very small number of "types".
The reason you think "this one is special" every time you meet a new method is that you do not hold the whole map. With the map, you can instantly classify: "ah, this is a moving-average crossover type with two extra filters bolted on". Once classified, you can also infer that method's strengths and weaknesses the moment you encounter it.
This article provides that map. The goal is not to memorise individual methods, but to hold the coordinate axes that let you locate any method.
