FTFC Watchlist (The Strat)

This indicator is a five custom ticker watchlist that shows seven pre-defined higher timeframes using '#TheStrat' technique and can be used on any ticker from common stock, forex and crypto.

Explanation of 'TheStrat' trading technique
‘TheStrat’ technique works off the basis of labelling whether the focus candle did or did not break any of the previous candles high or low values. There are three possible label definitions; either a 1 candle, 2 candle or a 3 candle.

• 1 bar (inside) - If price movement on the new candle remains within the high and low of previous candle.
  
• 3 bar (outside) – If price movement went above both the high and the low of the previous candle.
  
• 2 bar (directional) – If price movement only broke with the high (called a 2-up) or if price movement only broke the low of the previous candle (called a 2-down).
  

Once labelled the technique then looks for certain combination of these labelled candles (called actionable setups) such as: 2-1-2, 1-2-2, 3-1-2.

What is Full Time Frame Continuity (FTFC)
Under 'The Strat' full timeframe continuity is limited to the colour (open vs close) of the candle being either green or red. When higher timeframe align with the 'same colour' is suggest that there is stronger support for that direction of the candle.

How does the indicator work?
The indicator will allow you to daily enter up to 5 watchlist tickers and in as close to real time (slight lag) show the developing FTFC of your watchlist tickers and avoids having to switch chart tickers to see the developing timeframe continuity

• Example of how to use the indicator
  A simple example will be the relationship between SPY and VIX and by having the higher timeframe overview of these two watchlist tickers while trading will give potential insights to how the market is trading overall.
  Some people might also find it useful to see 'consolidation' (1 bar) and 'expansion' (3 bar) highlighted in the timeframe. This feature can be enabled in the settings.
