BUY/SELL Timeframe ContinuityTime frame continuity refers to the alignment of price trends across multiple time frames. This means that the price movement is showing a consistent trend (either up or down) on various timeframes, like the 5-minute, 30-minute, hourly, and daily charts.
Why is it important?
Confirms Trend Strength: When multiple timeframes align, it indicates a strong and sustained trend.
Risk Management: Trading in the direction of the aligned trend can reduce risk.
This indicator checks if the current price of a selected timeframe is above or below its opening price. A buy/sell signal appears the second all bullish timeframes align (buy) or all bearish timeframes align. You can choose to paint the candles when the buy/sell conditions happen. You can select up to 10 different timeframes.
NOTE: With this indicator I prefer timeframes 15m, 30m, 1H, 4H, D, 5D, W - Together these timeframes are great for short-term trends on any stock.

This ensures you never miss a trading opportunity, keeping you informed and ready to act when key patterns emerge. The alerts provide real-time notifications, allowing you to stay on top of market movements without constantly monitoring your charts.
MultiTimeframe Candles for Full Time Frame Continuity AnalysisIn honor of Rob Smith (R.I.P), the creator of TheStrat, I decided to try to figure out how to make an indicator that graphically shows you the price levels and movements on higher timeframes.
The goal is to have full timeframe continuity with TheStrat. Ideally when you are analyzing the lower time, you want it to be in continuity with the higher time frames.
How to Use It:
All you have to do is put on the indicator the number of times you desire.
So if you want the hourly, the daily, the weekly, and the monthly, then you have to just put on the indicator 4 times--once for each timeframe.
Then you go into each one you put on the chart and go to the drop down menu where you choose the timeframe you want displayed.
In the future, I'll do a video to show you exactly how that works, but I think you guys can figure it out.
Simultaneous INSIDE Bar Break IndicatorSimultaneous Inside Bar Break Indicator (SIBBI) for The Strat Community
Overview:
The Simultaneous Inside Bar Break Indicator (SIBBI) is designed to help traders using The Strat methodology identify one of the most powerful breakout patterns: the Simultaneous Inside Bar Break across multiple symbols. This indicator detects when all four user-selected symbols form inside bars on the previous candle and then break those inside bars in the same direction (either bullish or bearish) on the current candle.
Inside bars represent consolidation periods where price action does not break the high or low of the previous candle. When a simultaneous break occurs across multiple symbols, this often signals a strong move in the market, making this a key actionable signal in The Strat trading strategy.
Key Features:
Multi-Symbol Analysis: You can track up to four different symbols simultaneously. By default, the indicator comes with SPY, QQQ, IWM, and DIA, but you can modify these to track any other assets or symbols.
Inside Bar Detection: The indicator checks whether all four symbols have inside bars on the previous candle. It only triggers when all symbols meet this condition, making it a highly specific and reliable signal.
Simultaneous Break Detection: Once all symbols have inside bars, the indicator waits for a breakout in the same direction across all four symbols. A simultaneous bullish break (prices breaking above the previous candle’s high) triggers a green label, while a simultaneous bearish break (prices breaking below the previous candle’s low) triggers a red label.
Dynamic Label Timeframe: The indicator dynamically adjusts the timeframe in the label based on the user’s selected timeframe. This allows traders to know precisely which timeframe the break is occurring on. If the user selects "Chart Timeframe," the indicator will evolve with the current chart's timeframe, making it more versatile.
Timeframe Flexibility: The indicator can be set to analyze any timeframe—15-minute, 30-minute, 60-minute, daily, weekly, and so on. It only works for the specific timeframe you set it to in the settings. If set to "Chart Timeframe," the label will adapt dynamically based on the timeframe you are currently viewing.
Customizable Labels: The user can choose the size of the labels (tiny, small, or normal), ensuring that the visual output is tailored to individual preferences and chart layouts.
Best Use Case:
The Simultaneous Inside Bar Break Indicator is particularly powerful when applied to multiple timeframes. Here’s how to use it for maximum impact:
Multi-Timeframe Setup: Set the indicator on various timeframes (e.g., 15-minute, 30-minute, 60-minute, and daily) across multiple charts. This allows you to monitor different timeframes and identify when lower timeframe breaks trigger potential moves on higher timeframes.
Anticipating Strong Moves: When a simultaneous inside bar break occurs on one timeframe (e.g., 30-minute), keep an eye on the higher timeframes (e.g., 60-minute or daily) to see if those timeframes also break. This stacking of inside bar breaks can signal powerful market moves.
Higher Conviction Signals: The indicator is designed to provide high-conviction signals. Since it requires all four symbols to break in the same direction simultaneously, it reduces false signals and focuses on higher probability setups, which is crucial for traders using The Strat to time their trades effectively.
How the Indicator Works:
Inside Bar Formation: The indicator first checks that all four selected symbols had inside bars in the previous bar (i.e., the current high and low are contained within the previous bar’s high and low).
Simultaneous Break Detection: After detecting inside bars, the indicator checks if all four symbols break out in the same direction—bullish (breaking above the previous bar’s high) or bearish (breaking below the previous bar’s low).
Label Display: When a simultaneous inside bar break occurs, a label is plotted on the chart—either green for a bullish break (below the candle) or red for a bearish break (above the candle). The label will display the timeframe you set in the settings (e.g., "IBSB 60" for a 60-minute break).
Chart Timeframe Option: If you prefer, you can set the indicator to evolve with the chart’s current timeframe. In this mode, the label will not show a specific timeframe but will still display the simultaneous inside bar break when it occurs.
Recommendations for Usage:
Focus on Multiple Timeframes: The Strat methodology is all about understanding the relationship between different timeframes. Use this indicator on multiple timeframes to get a better picture of potential moves.
Pair with Other Strat Techniques: This indicator is most powerful when combined with other Strat tools, such as broadening formations, timeframe continuity, and actionable signals (e.g., 2-2 reversals). The simultaneous inside bar break can help confirm or invalidate other signals.
Customize Symbols and Timeframes: Although the default symbols are SPY, QQQ, IWM, and DIA, feel free to replace them with symbols more relevant to your trading. This indicator works well across equities, indices, futures, and forex pairs.
How to Set It Up:
Select Symbols: Choose four symbols that you want to track. These can be index ETFs (like SPY and QQQ), individual stocks, or any other tradable instruments.
Set Timeframe: In the indicator’s settings, choose a specific timeframe (e.g., 15-minute, 30-minute, daily). The label will reflect the selected timeframe, making it clear which time-based break you are seeing.
Optional - Chart Timeframe Mode: If you want the indicator to adapt to the chart’s current timeframe, select the "Chart Timeframe" option in the settings. The indicator will plot the breaks without showing a specific timeframe in the label.
Customize Label Size: Depending on your chart layout and personal preference, you can adjust the size of the labels (tiny, small, or normal) in the settings.
Conclusion:
The Simultaneous Inside Bar Break Indicator is a powerful tool for traders using The Strat methodology, offering a highly specific and reliable signal that can indicate potential large market moves. By monitoring multiple symbols and timeframes, you can gain deeper insight into the market's behavior and act with greater confidence. This indicator is ideal for traders looking to catch high-conviction moves and align their trades with broader market continuity.
Note: The indicator works best when paired with multi-timeframe analysis, allowing you to see how breaks on lower timeframes might influence larger trends. For traders who prefer simplicity, setting it to the "Chart Timeframe" mode offers flexibility while maintaining the core benefits of this indicator.

🔶 USAGE
This script allows users with an understanding of The Strat to quickly highlight elements such as candle numbers, pivot machine guns, and custom combos. The usage for these concepts is given in the sub-sections below.
🔹 Candle Numbers
The Strat assigns a number to individual candles, this number is determined by the current candle position relative to the precedent candle, these include:
Number 1 - Inside bar, occurs when the previous candle range engulfs the current one.
Number 2 Up - Upside Directional Bar, occurs when the current price high breaks the previous high while the current low is lower than the previous high.
Number 2 Down - Downside Directional Bar, occurs when the current price low breaks the previous low while the current high is higher than the previous low.
Number 3 - Outside bar, occurs when the current candle range engulfs the previous one.
The script can highlight the number of a candle by using labels but can also style candles by depending on the candle number. Inside bars (1) only have their candle wick highlighted, directional bars (2) (-2) only have their candle body highlighted. Outside bars have their candle range highlighted.
Note that downside directional bars are highlighted with the number -2.
Users can see the total amount of times a specific candle number is detected on the historical data on the dashboard available within the settings, as well as the number of times a candle number is detected relative to the total amount of detected candle numbers expressed as a percentage.
It is also possible to see the current candle numbers returned by multiple timeframes on the dashboard.
🔹 Searching For Custom Combos
Combos are made of a sequence of two or more candle numbers. These combos can highlight multiple reversals/continuation scenarios. Various common combos are documented by The Strat community.
This script allows users to search for custom combos by entering them on the Combo user setting field.
When a user combo is found, it is highlighted on the chart as a box highlighting the combo range.
🔹 Pivot Combos
It can be of interest to a user to display the combo associated with a pivot high/low. This script will highlight the location of pivot points on the chart and display its associated combo by default. These are based on the Pivot Combo lookback and not displayed in real-time.
Users can see on the dashboard the combos associated with a pivot high/low, these are ranked by frequency.
🔹 Pivot Machine Gun (PMG)
Pivot Machine Guns (PMG)s describe the scenario where a single price variation breaks the value of multiple past successive higher lows/lower highs. This can highlight a self-exciting behavior, where even more past successive higher lows/lower highs get broken.
Users can select the minimum sequence length of successive higher lows/lower highs required for a PMG to be detected, as well the amount of these successive higher lows/lower highs that must be broken.
GRIDBOT Scalper by nnamWhat is this Indicator used for?
Made specifically for GRID Bots
note: before continuing... this indicator works on any timeframe, but it WORKS BEST ON THE 15 MINUTE TIMEFRAME
Straters and Forex Master Pattern Value Line Traders use this to help determine when the price could reverse.
This indicator is a scalping indicator that produces signals when a "potential" reversal in price is indicated. When the price moves UP and a Potential Bearish Reversal Signal occurs, traders can use this signal as a potential SHORT entry signal for their Short Grid Bot. The process is the same in reverse. After a sustained move down, a Potential Bullish Signal can be used by the trader as a potential LONG entry signal for their GridBot.
As shown in the screenshot below, lines develop on the chart (either RED or GREEN) indicating that a sustained move in one direction is currently occurring; however, there is no potential reversal signal plotted (this means that price action is currently moving in one direction only).
As shown in the screenshot below, lines can be used as a stop-loss after entering the GRIDbot. (usually, by this time, the Grid Bot is in Profit as it usually moves in the opposite direction first)
What this Indicator Does
The GRIDBOT Scalper provides information regarding potential reversals in the market after a sustained movement in one direction (either Bullish or Bearish).
The indicator is based on PRICE-ACTION ONLY and does not take into account the current state of the market (Bullish or Bearish).
Once the price moves in a particular direction for at least 14 bars , a line appears as shown in a previous screenshot. Once the price stops moving in that direction and begins moving in the opposite direction - and after a sustained run - a "signal" appears alerting the trader that a "potential" reversal could be on the horizon soon.
If price moves in one direction and plots both a line and a signal and then begins moving back in the other direction in a sustained manner, the original signal will remain even when a NEW line begins forming (the original line will disappear). (see below) This line will continue to move as the price continues to move. Not until a signal plots on the chart is the potential reversal forming. THE LINE DOES NOT SIGNAL A REVERSAL . Some traders, however, use this information to "ride the wave UP or DOWN" and exit their positions once the signal prints.
As shown below, optional input settings allow the trader to set the line at CLOSE or HIGH/LOW of the candle preceding the potential reversal.
It is suggested to use Close instead of High or Low but the setting allows one to use either.
As shown in the screenshot below, it is typical on LOWER TIME FRAMES to see the price pass the signal line. The Indicator works best on the 15 minute timeframe, as it gives the trader time to make the decisions required as the volatility is less on the 15 minute chart vs the 1 minute or 5 minute charts.

Simple STRAT Tool by nnamWhat this Indicator Does
This indicator is a very simple tool created specifically for experienced Straters. It was created for those Straters who fully understand the 1-2-3 Strat Scenarios, are in need of an easy to use tool, and do not want or need a lot of messy markings on their chart.
The indicator simply allows the user to color code the Strat 1, 2 ,3 (Inside /Outside /Up / Down) Bars as desired and by default extends lines to the right of the chart from the Highs and Lows of the previous 2 Bars giving the user a simple reference for Strat scenario structure breaks.
As shown above, the bars are color coded, but the original bar color is maintained via the border and wick.
If a bar is an Outside Bar or an Inside Bar, it is still easy to identify whether or not the bar was a Bullish or Bearish 1 or 3.
The same goes for 2UP and 2Down Bars - It is easy to identify Bullish or Bearish UP or DOWN Bars.
Optionally, as show in the screenshot below, the user can extend the lines in both directions to get an "at a glance" better understanding of where price is currently vs previous support and resistance areas.
For Straters that prefer to trade only INSIDE BAR BREAKOUTS there is an optional input setting labeled "Trade Inside Bars ONLY".
This setting turns OFF the lines that extend from the 2nd previous bar back and only displays and extend lines from the previous bar IF and ONLY IF the current bar is an INSIDE (one) bar. .
The User Input settings allow for the following customizations:
1. Custom Outside Bar Color
2. Custom Inside Bar Color
3. Custom 2 Up Bar Color
4. Custom 2 Down Bar Color
5. Turn ON or OFF color coded bars
6. Trade only INSIDE Bar Breakouts
7. Extend Lines Both Directions
8. Hide all Lines
The customizable settings above allow the user to hide all lines and turn OFF color coding without having to fully remove the indicator from the chart. This is convenient when the user has another indicator that uses color coded bars or the lines conflict with another indicator and they need to be temporarily disabled.
If you have any questions regarding this indicator please let me know. If you have any suggestions for minor tweaks to the indicator do not hesitate to ask for them.
I hope you enjoy this indicator and get some usefulness from it... HAPPY TRADING!!

MTFT TheStrat Suite (5 Scripts)
Rob Smith is the creator of ‘TheStrat’ trading strategy. For ‘TheStrat’ I have put together a suite of 5 premium scripts that combined will offer people interested in learning ‘TheStrat’ a cleaner learning process. For 2 of the 5 scripts specifically, the MTFT approach of overlaying multiple longer timeframes(TF) over a shorter TF selected as a display cannot be utilized. The other 2 scripts will have full MTFT functionality and they are my personal favorite. I will be providing very basic info to utilize this script; it is up to you to dive deep into learning this strategy. I am not an expert with the tool or a financial advisor. As with all aspects of life, I recommend you research, learn, discern and practice extensively in order to become a master.

MTFT Reversal Lines, TheStrat Suite (5of5)
This script will plot the line at the point that the reversal was formed for multiple timeframes. Often times price retraces to these points before making more explosive moves in continuation of the reversal direction.
The script has the following features.
Six user selected time frames per script instance can be enabled/disabled. Timeframes include: Yearly(Y), Semi-annually(S), Quarterly(Q), Monthly(M), Weekly(W), Daily(D), 4 hour, 1 hour, 30 min, 15 min, 10 min, and 5 min. Image below shows the Weekly TF selected, and only the W, Q, M, and W are enabled. I’ve included some comments on basic observations.
2. Auto hide lower timeframe calculations. Auto Hide feature will hide smaller TF calculations when a larger timeframe is selected as the display TF. Example, when the Daily timeframe candlestick selected the 4 hour and smaller calculations are hidden because they produce irrelevant results relative to the selected timeframe. If a lower TF is selected such as the 30 min candlestick, the previously hidden timeframes are now displayed. This allows easier study as you change between displayed timeframes.
This script works best in conjunction with ‘MTFT Last HML Band wOpen’. In the image below I have the W candlestick selected, along with the Q HML Lines, and the Q Reversal Line shown. It shows you a clearer picture of how price moves on a TheStrat continuation CS and after a TheStrat reversal point is made. This lets you break into the fine details of what happened inside Quarter 1, 2022 and after the reversal point was formed.
IMPORTANT NOTE for TradingView admin: One of the lessons I would consider most important in attaining clarity regarding trading, is “TheStrat” by Rob Smith. His lesson on “actionable signals” is something that can be applied to any strategy. For this reason, I am including “MTFT TheStrat Patterns Pro” script in all images that will depict confluence for a better trade selection.
Example using TheStrat Pro MTFT with this indicator.
Look for a “TheStrat actionable signal” or a “TheStrat Reversal signal” on a smaller timeframe that has an instance of this indicator on a larger timeframe calculation that is in range of the candlestick that formed your actionable signal. This means that the indicators plot you are observing must be above the low and below the high of the candlestick that is the actionable signal/reversal signal. Image below shows what this would look like with this indicator.
The Image below shows what this would look like with this indicator. The selected candlestick is the 3-day, it shows a 2U-1-potential 2D Reversal pattern and the Quarter Reversal Down line in range. This actionable signal is meant to be played for SHORTS. If the low is breached, you would enter a SHORT position from the low of the inside candlestick. For targets you would look at the previous pivots, for this example all targets were hit. This won’t always play out so nice and clean, but given that there is so many stocks and so many signals this is just a thought to improve the quality of the signal as it has extra confluence.

MTFT Actionable Signal Targets, TheStrat Suite (4of5)
Plots the previous highs/lows for the selected timeframe. Will not plot the high/low for a candlestick that is still active/open. You will have to manually Enable/Disable the high/low depending on the type of actionable signal that you are observing. Previous high/low lines will start from the near exact time that it opened so you can see exactly from what previous candlestick you are tracking each target.
Features includes:
1. Six Different Timeframes per script instance. Example below shows a weekly timeframe selected with a Shooting Star as the actionable signal that is being considered along with the past 3 lows for the Week timeframe being enabled. These would be your targets if you were to enter this SHORT trade. Keep in mind that every new week that opens the script will update to the newest 3 lows so if you are still inside a trade you might have to increase the number of past lines in order to keep an eye on the original targets. Which is why I selected 3 in this example, even if there is only 2 targets in mind.
The script will allow you to observe how price moves after an actionable signal is triggered and as it approaches the targets on smaller timeframes. Here is the setup from above on a daily timeframe selected showing how priced moved to the targets. This is all based on Robs teachings, but broken down to better grasp how price moves between pivots.
2. 20 different TF to pick from per slot. Timeframes(TF) include: Yearly(Y), Semi-annually(S), Quarterly(Q), Monthly(M), 2-Week(2W), Weekly(W), 3-Day(3D), Daily(D), 12 hour, 8 hour, 6 hour, 4 hour, 3 hour, 2 hour, 1 hour, 30 min, 15 min, 10 min, 5 min. NOTICE: 2W, 3D, 2D, 12h, 8h, 6h, 3h, and 2h don’t have a supported color scheme as I do not personally use them. They are available to pick from in the timeframe selection and you can set a color for these timeframes under the “Unsupported Color Scheme” section in the settings menu for the script if you would like to use them.
3. Show exact price at the pivots. Since drawing lines vs plots doesn’t show the value in the price bar on the right side this setting will show the value of the targets. Image below shows an example of how this looks.
4. Auto-hide timeframes based on specific timeframes selected. For this script, I look for timeframes smaller than the selected timeframe and auto hide these. This applies to all timeframes. For example, in the above Weekly Shooting Star example. If I were to select the monthly timeframe it would hide this timeframe selected so would not show the weekly targets. In the higher timeframes these targets are irrelevant.
IMPORTANT NOTE: One of the lessons I would consider most important in attaining clarity regarding trading, is “TheStrat” by Rob Smith. His lesson on “actionable signals” is something that can be applied to any strategy. For this reason, I am including “MTFT TheStrat Patterns Pro” script in all images that will depict confluence for a better trade selection.
Example using TheStrat Pro MTFT with this indicator.
Look for a “TheStrat actionable signal” or a “TheStrat Reversal signal” on a smaller timeframe that has an instance of this indicator on a larger timeframe calculation that is in range of the candlestick that formed your actionable signal. This means that the indicators plot you are observing must be above the low and below the high of the candlestick that is the actionable signal/reversal signal. Image below shows what this would look like with this indicator.
The Image below shows what this would look like with this indicator. The selected timeframe is the Weekly, it shows an ‘S’ char above which is an indication of a Shooting Star Actionable signal and the low from 4 months ago in range showing some potential resistance. This actionable signal is meant to be played for SHORTS. If the low is breached than you would enter a short. For targets you would look at the previous pivots, for this example all targets were hit. This wont always play out so nice and clean, but given that there is so many stocks and so many signals this is just a thought to improve the quality of the signal as it has extra confluence.
MTFT Last HML wOpen, TheStrat Suite (3of5)Multi Time Frame Tools
Multi Time Frame Tools (MTFT) is a suite of scripts aimed to establish a standard timeframe-based color scheme. This can be utilized to overlay different timeframes calculations/values over a single timeframe. As one example, this would allow to observe the 5-month moving average, 5-week moving average, and 5-day moving average overlaid over each other. This would allow to study a chart, get accustomed to the color scheme and study all these at the same time much easier.
All indicators calculated using the below specific timeframes as input, will always use the color scheme outlined below. This is to get you in habit of recognizing the different timeframes overlaid in top of each other. These can be personalized.
Longer TF analysis.
Yearly - Black
Semi-Annual - Yellow
Quarterly - White
Monthly - Maroon
Weekly - Royal Blue
Daily - Lime
Shorter TF analysis.
4 hour - Fuchsia
1 hour - Orange
30 min - Red
15 min - Brown
10 min - Purple
5 min - Lilac
All color coordination is able to be modified in either the “Inputs” or “Style” section. If you need to make changes, make sure to select “Save as Default” on the bottom right of the settings menu.
Recommended Chart Color Layout
I played around with color coordination a lot. The final product was what worked best for me. I personally use the following chart settings to accent all available TF colors.
-> Click on the settings wheel on your chart. -> Click on “Appearance”.
Background - Solid -> On the top row pick the 6th color from the left.
Vert Grid Lines and Horz Grid Lines -> On the top row pick the 7th color from the left.
You may of course change these and the indicator line colors as you like.

MTFT TheStrat Suite (5 Scripts)
Rob Smith is the creator of ‘TheStrat’ trading strategy. For ‘TheStrat’ I have put together a suite of 5 premium scripts that combined will offer people interested in learning ‘TheStrat’ a cleaner learning process. For 2 of the 5 scripts specifically, the MTFT approach of overlaying multiple longer timeframes(TF) over a shorter TF selected as a display cannot be utilized. The other 2 scripts will have full MTFT functionality and they are my personal favorite. I will be providing very basic info to utilize this script; it is up to you to dive deep into learning this strategy. I am not an expert with the tool or a financial advisor. As with all aspects of life, I recommend you research, learn, discern and practice extensively in order to become a master.

MTFT Last HML wOpen, TheStrat Suite (3of5)
Plots previous High, Mean(50% line), and Low of the previous candlestick and the open for the active TF. This allows you to see how TheStrat Absolute Truths move within the different timeframes. In the image below you see the monthly TF selected. Price on the monthly candlestick has created several reversals up and down.
Now Utilizing this tool, you get to see how priced moved on the daily TF with the previous monthly HML lines plotted(Maroon lines) over the active month so you can see exactly how the absolute truths occur inside each month. Notice the previous High/Low are a thicker width then the Mean, this outlines more clearly which of the lines you are looking at. I’ve included some comments on basic observations.
Now for contrast, below I show you the daily TF selected with the previous quarter HML lines plotted(White lines) over the active quarter.
Script Features includes:
1. Three Timeframes per script instance. Example below shows 3 timeframes in use, Yearly(Black Lines), Quarterly( White Lines), and Monthly (Maroon Lines) on the weekly timeframe candlestick. This is where using a timeframe-based color scheme per individual timeframe will come in very handy. The open of the active timeframe is displayed using the small circles that make a line. The displayed open feature is another way to track full time frame continuity if you are tracking the open of several timeframes. The open of the active timeframe is displayed using the small circles that make a line.
2. 20 different TF to pick from per slot. Timeframes(TF) include: Yearly(Y), Semi-annually(S), Quarterly(Q), Monthly(M), 2-Week(2W), Weekly(W), 3-Day(3D), Daily(D), 12 hour, 8 hour, 6 hour, 4 hour, 3 hour, 2 hour, 1 hour, 30 min, 15 min, 10 min, 5 min. Notice: 2W, 3D, 2D, 12h, 8h, 6h, 3h, and 2h don’t have a supported color scheme as I do not personally use them. They are available to pick from in the timeframe selection and you can set a color for these timeframes under the “Unsupported Color Scheme” section in the settings menu for the script if you would like to use them.
3. Enable/Disable High, Mean, Low or Open on any of the timeframe slots. Custom selection of plots will create clarity in observing timeframe-based analysis. Example below shows the Yearly Open enabled on a Monthly timeframe candlestick selected, along with the 6-month HML lines(This is similar to the quarter, the semi-annual)it shows how the start of the year gave a clear direction several times in the past few years for BTC/USD. A similar analysis can be done across multiple settings. TheStrat Actionable Signals paired with ideas like these can be great setups.
4. Auto-hide timeframes based on specific timeframes selected. For this script, I look for HML lines to have at least 4 total candlesticks within the selected TF. I disable any setting that has 3 or less candlesticks. This applies to all timeframes. This will allow for you to leave several instances of the script in your chart and zoom in and out to see macro/micro levels of a chart. The example below has 2 different instances of the script enabled, first instance (Y, Q, M), and second instance (W, D, 4h). with the Month candlestick selected. Notice how only the Year HML plots are displayed. All other lower timeframes are hidden, this will allow for an easy transition into a lower timeframe analysis.
Same example as above, but now with the Weekly timeframe candlestick selected. Notice that without changing any settings on the scripts the Quarterly (White) and Monthly (Maroon) are now visible.
One more time, this time with the 30m candlestick timeframe selected. Notice that without changing any settings on the scripts the Day(Green) and the 4 hour(Pink) plots appear.
5. Custom Width Selection in script settings per plot type, High, Mean, Low and Open.

For targets you would look at the previous pivots, for this example all targets were hit. This won’t always play out so nice and clean, but given that there is so many stocks and so many signals this is just a thought to improve the quality of the signal as it has extra confluence.

MTFT Patterns Pro/Noob, TheStrat Suite (1of5)
Features includes:
1.) Absolute Truth #. This setting will provide the candlesticks absolute truth # below the CS.
2.) Color bars based on Absolute Truth. This setting will color all inside candlesticks yellow, all Green Outside Candlesticks White and all Red Outside Candlesticks Fuchsia. Scenario 2 candlesticks are left as is and will color based on the color of the original candlestick. This setting is default enabled and needs to be disabled in the “Style” tab under the indicator settings wheel. I found this more practical in getting used to the 3 absolute truth scenarios.
3.) Reversals. This setting will mark when reversal patterns as discussed by Rob are posted. Noob version will also include the description of the reversal pattern, while the Pro version will only plot an ‘R’ without the text description. Note: There should never be back-to-back green Rs or red Rs. I found this issue a lot on many of the other ‘TheStrat’ scripts out there. TradingView development team note: The plotchar function does not allow dynamic text so this is the only reason on why there needs to be two separate versions of the script. ‘Pro’ is important for experienced users that already identify the patterns without the text and ‘Noob’ is important for beginner users that still need the text description of the pattern.
4. Continuations. This setting will mark when continuation patterns as discussed by Rob are posted. Noob version will also include the description of the continuation pattern, while the Pro version will only plot a ‘C’ without the text description.
TradingView Admin note: The plotchar function does not allow dynamic text so this is the only reason why there needs to be two separate versions of the script. ‘Pro’ is important for experienced users that already identify the patterns without the text and ‘Noob’ is important for beginner users that still need the text description of the pattern.
5. Actionable Signals and Complex Actionable Signals (CAS). This has several objective parameters as defined by Rob’s course. ‘Complex Actionable Signals’ is a name I used when speaking of actionable signals that require a combination of 2 or more candlesticks.
Actionable Signals.
• All inside candlesticks(Absolute Truth #1)
• Hammers
• Shooting Stars
Complex Actionable Signals.
• (Absolute Truth Combo 1-3-1 )Inside Outside Inside
• Outside -> Hammer
• Outside -> Shooting Star
• Inside -> Hammer
• Inside -> Shooting Star
• Momentum Inside
• Momentum Hammer
• Momentum Shooting Star
• Hammer -> Shooting Star
• Shooting Star -> Hammer
5a. Example CAS 1-3G-1. I am including only one example of several of the CAS that are included in this script. The star is utilized for all CAS, the color and location designate the direction that the CAS would have you act on. Note the “Entry” and “Target” line were added manually and are not part of the script. This is one successful setup; don’t get excited thinking this is how it always works. I will let you discover and learn for yourself that there is many failed setups and many setups that never trigger the actionable signal. This is where setting alerts is very handy.
6. Alerts. Press on the “Create Alert” Icon for TradingView. When the prompt opens select the preferred script either “TheStrat Pro” or “TheStrat Noob” under “Condition” and then under the sub-menu select any of the following scenarios.
• C ▲/ ▼ = If the active CS shows a continuation up/down pattern, remember this CS is active and can still change direction and trigger a reversal in the other direction.
• R ▲/▼ = If the active CS shows a reversal up/down pattern, remember this CS is active and can still change direction and trigger a continuation in the previous trend direction.
• HM Trigger(Last High Cross) = Alert when the active CS breaks the high of the previous CS. As a new CS opens, it re-adjusts its values and is just constantly waiting for the active CS break through the previous CS high.
• SS Trigger(Last Low Cross) = Alert when the active CS breaks the low of the previous CS. As a new CS opens, it re-adjusts its values and is just constantly waiting for the active CS break through the previous CS low.
• Inside Trigger (Last High/Low Cross) = Alert when the active CS breaks the low or the high of the previous CS. As a new CS opens, it re-adjusts its values and is just constantly waiting for the active CS break through either the previous CS low or the high.
• Last CS Inside
• Last CS H

Simple Strat NumbersSimply Editable Strat Numbers.
Ones, Twos, Threes.
The only complicated part is the twos. You can edit the twos depending on if they are red or green candles and if they are up or down.
50% Strat RetracementThe purpose of this script is to show/alert you when there is a 50% Strat Reversal. It works very well to find possible 3 candles.
The arrows, and line can be turned on and off.
You can change the 50% to say 45% so that you will be alerted before it actually hits the 50% retracement.
The script will only alert if the reversal is a 2up red candle, a 2up green candle which will hopefully turn into a 3 candle.
ATRvsDTR + ADR Zone + SSS50%This Script is to be used for intra day as far as the adr zones. The adr zones are used as support and resistance but also can be used to determine whether the stock is breaking out or not. Also being that the adr zones are calculated using a 5 or 10 day period unless you change the settings, and are set when price opens. It does really help you know whether a stock is moving more than it does on average to me it just signifies its directional. So I added the atr vs dtr so you can see what a stock moves on average versus what it has moved today.
The atr period is calculated based on the daily period unless you change the settings. I added to the original script 3 more percentages the atr vs dtr will change as it goes higher so that you can be aware when the stock is getting closer to moving 100% of its atr. Even though a stock breaks above or below the adr that doesn't mean it has moved more than it normally moves.
I also have the weekly open on the script as I trade the strat and I want to know, at what price the the week will change from bearish to bullish and vice versa. So that I can understand the trend when I am trading intraday.
The 50% lines were added for Sara strat snipers 50% rule and you can change the timeframes on them. This is used to know whether a candle will go 3. This also can help with retracements vs reversals, because in traditional technical analysis 50% is around where people start think its a reversal more so than a retracement.
I believe the script will be very help as it can show you price being directional but can also let you know when the stock is getting close to moving more than it normally has or if it has moved more than it normally has. As well as being able to see if something is a retracement vs a reversal. I trade TheStrat strategy so this can be very helpful in that regard
The 50% retracement levels are default 1h and daily. You can change them and whether or not they show
In the example chart you can see we are below weekly open which is bearish and you can also see where price reverses out of the upper adr zone. As well as how much of the atr we have moved on this day in time.
[BM] HTF Candle Evolution█ OVERVIEW
This script shows how a higher timeframe candle evolves over time.
It was created as a visual aid to #TheStrat and provides a new way of looking at Timeframe Continuity.
█ FEATURES
General
HTF: Higher Timeframe selection with dropdown and ability to manually input a timeframe that is not present in the dropdown.
Label: Show a label with the selected higher timeframe.
Marker: Shows a marker symbol at the start of each new higher timeframe.
Align: Aligns the candles around a selected center line.
The Strat
Multi-timeframe analysis is used extensively in #TheStrat (created by Rob Smith), so the ability to add #TheStrat coloring has been made available.
Scenario: Define the colors for the strat scenario's.
Coloring of: Choose which part of the candles you want the selected strat scenario colors to be applied to.
Band: Display a band that shows the active strat scenario color of the selected higher timeframe.
All features are completely customizable.
Tweak Strat FTFCThis script allows traders to view timeframe continuity on 7 timeframes at the top of the chart.
The trader selects 7 different timeframes, and the script will reflect whether the current candle for each timeframe is bullish or bearish (current price > the open OR current price < the open).
If a timeframe is currently bearish, the box will be purple.
If a timeframe is currently bullish, the box will be orange.
A circle in the middle of the box indicates that that timeframe is currently an inside bar (1).
An upward arrow indicates that that timeframe is currently a directional up bar (2u).
A downward arrow indicates that that timeframe is currently a directional down bar (2d).
A rectangle indicates that that timeframe is currently an outside bar (3).
NOTE: The color of the boxes is fixed. Traders MUST select a timeframe for EACH OF THE 7 FIELDS.
Tweak Strat Candle ColorThis script allows traders to customize candlestick colors based on The Strat trading system developed by Rob Smith.
The script determines if the current candle is an inside bar (1), outside bar (3), directional up (2u) , or directional down (2d).
An inside bar is a candle that trades fully within the previous candle.
An outside bar breaks both the high and the low of the previous candle.
A directional up bar breaks the high of the previous candle but NOT the low of the previous candle.
A directional down bar breaks the low of the previous candle but NOT the high of the previous candle.
The trader can modify the colors they wish to use in the settings menu.
NOTE: You must select "Visual order - Bring to front"
If you do not, the custom colors will disappear when you click the chart window.
The Strat Screener - yungchoppsThis indicator scan up to 40 tickers of your choice for bullish and bearish Randy Jackson setups. Randy Jackson setups are 2u-2u-2d-2u for bullish cases and 2d-2d-2u-2d for bearish cases. If a ticker has a possible RJ setup, the ticker name will be display on the table depending if it is bullish or bearish. The only thing you need to do it change one of the default tickers to the ones you desire and the table will update if there are any RJ setups. The indicators search for RJ setups on the current timeframe that you are on.
Randy Jackson setups are part of the 'Strat' candlestick analysist. More information about the Strat can be found on the internet and YouTube. This indicator reads the previous candles of every selected ticker and searched for a RJ setup. If one exist, it will update the table with the tickers name. I will add more setups in the future.
This is a screener. This indicator really just makes it easier to scan many indicators at once. Its not hard to use... just place it on the chart and it will do the work for you. Hopefully mods find this enough of a description...
Strat Radar_vtStrat Radar is a visual tool to trade "TheStrat" methodology.
TheStrat is a simple yet powerful model to view the market. From one bar to the next, there are only three possible scenarios or three types of candles:
type 1 - an inside bar. Market is in consolidation.
type 2 - a directional bar (2 up or 2 down). Market is trending.

The Strat Numbers & CombosThis indicator is an all-in-one " The Strat " script. This script displays the following:
The Strat candle numbers (1's, 2's, & 3's)
The Strat Combo labels along with trigger line
Pivot Machine Gun ( PMG ) dynamic labels
Hammer & Shooter candle labels
The Strat Candle Numbers label each candle, on any timeframe, either a 1, 2, or 3. 1's are inside bars of the previous candles. 2's take out only one side of the previous candle. And 3's go outside both sides of the previous candle.
The Strat Combo labels (which are made of the 1's, 2's, 3's outlined above) display labels when a Strat Combo occurs. The script displays a label, direction arrow, and trigger line for each Strat Combo. This indicator finds the following Strat Combos:
2-1-2 bullish reversal (BLR)
2-1-2 bullish continuation (BLC)
3-1-2 BLR
3-2-2 BLR
1-2-2 rev strat BLR
2-2 BLR
2-1-2 bearish reversal (BRR)
2-1-2 bearish continuation (BRC)
3-1-2 BRR
3-2-2 BRR
1-2-2 rev strat BRR
2-2 BRR
Double inside candles
The Pivot Machine Gun (PMG) labels any 5 or more consecutive candles that make higher lows or 5 or more consecutive candles that make lower highs. A PMG can continue going in its direction or it can reverse and come back through the range. The logic in this indicator dynamically finds each level in a PMG and draws a line for easy identification.
The script also identifies if the candle type is a Hammer, Inverted Hammer, Shooting Star, or Hanging Man. These candle types are highly likely reversal points in price action.The indicator will plot a shape with a color coded icon identifying the candle. The distance between the shape and the candles can be manually adjusted in the inputs section.
This indicator has many style options . The user can independently toggle on/off the Strat numbers, boxes around the Strat Combos, and Hammer and Shooter shapes. Also all of the colors used in this script can be changed from the inputs section, so a user can easily change colors to match their current color scheme.
RM Timeframe ContinuityThis indicator plots a table off to the right of the chart to help with determining timeframe continuity. Per the Strat, a great edge is only taking trades where full timeframe continuity is in place (i.e. if you are going long, make sure other timeframes are also green).
In this script:
Green candles have green colored boxes, red candles have red colored boxes.
Inside bars are represented by a circle - ⬤
Outside bars are represented by a tall rectangle - ▮
2-up bars are indicated by an up arrow - ▲
2-down bars are indicated by a down arrow - ▼
User defined options:
Pick any timeframe for the 4 boxes
