## Scope

Family percentages use 2904 classified records; 678 unlabeled records are excluded. Field coverage uses all 3582 records. These are catalog records, not verified unique algorithms.

## Trading algorithm families

### Trend & directional

Rules that seek continuation of an established move or a break into a new directional move.

1054 records; 36.3% of classified records.

### Mean reversion & counter-trend

Rules that look for a stretched price or relationship to move back toward a reference.

789 records; 27.2% of classified records.

### Trade & execution management

Tools that manage orders, entries, exits or execution rather than necessarily defining a complete trading system.

376 records; 12.9% of classified records.

### Price action & structure

Rules based on price patterns, levels or market structure.

263 records; 9.1% of classified records.

### Risk & portfolio overlays

Tools that manage allocation or combined exposure rather than necessarily generating entry signals.

101 records; 3.5% of classified records.

### Grid, martingale & averaging

Approaches that layer entries or alter sizing across price levels or losses. These mechanisms require explicit exposure analysis.

75 records; 2.6% of classified records.

70 records; 2.4% of classified records.

33 records; 1.1% of classified records.
