#TheStrat - Highs and Lows of Candles of 4 Custom Time framesThe bread and butter of strat traders is multi-timeframe analysis. We do MTFA in 2 different ways: 1) By Looking for entries confirmed by Full Timeframe Continuity which is just another way of saying that on multiple timeframes, the candles currently forming are all uniform in direction(ie. all red candles or all green candles), and 2) Looking for Strat reversal on lower timeframes that trigger your higher timeframes reversals.
This script is concerned with the latter piece of multi-timeframe analysis, and its application to the strat
Anyone who has watched Sara's videos teaching the strat can see how she uses the highs and lows of her major time periods, the monthly, weekly, and daily, to find entries from her lower time periods to trigger her higher timeframes. This script performs the process of marking the highs and lows of 4-major time periods automatically so that you do not need to mark every single chart you use manually. I have found this script to be very useful, and convenient. I hope that other stratters find it as useful as I am. Below outlines how to use this, although it is mostly self-explanatory. Special thanks and credit to millerrm, who I used his original code snippets to rework his original script to something more tailored to my personal use cases.
Settings -
You can change the time periods of the candles that you would like to mark to any time frame using the 4 dropdown boxes marked TF#
You can choose to toggle the lines for each given time period on and off, in the settings by checking off each time period.
The default colors are purple, blue, orange, and white, in order respective of time from shortest to highest
The default time periods are 3hr, 6hr, 12hr, and daily
The Strat ToolsThis indicator will be collection of tools for using Rob Smith's The Strat.
Currently only bar numbers is implemented.
Every individual tool can be enabled or disabled and customized.
#TheStrat
RM StratThis is my attempt to code up the rules of "The Strat." I've seen other scripts that do parts of what my script does, but this script combines all of them into one script and allows the user control over how they interact with each other.
What's in this indicator?
Show the Strat Candle Numbers (1 - inside bar, 2 - continuation bar, 3 - outside bar) on the chart.
Show a widget off to the right of the chart for multi-timeframe analysis. This widget tells you whether the D/W/M/Q candles are currently green or red as well as the Candle type (White Circle - (1) Inside Bar, Up Green Arrow - (2U) Continuation Bar, Down Red Arrow - (2D) Continuation Bar, Green/Red Square - (3) Outside Bar)
Integrates the long and short rules into the chart. These can also be turned off if you don't want to see them. Note: this is a simplified version of these rules - if you look at the cheat sheets floating around the internet, you'll notice that all trade initiations occur on a break of the high (for longs) or low (for shorts) of the previous candle as long as that previous candle was not a 2. So that's my only rule for going long or short. I think it matches well with the cheat sheets but is way simpler to code and to think of how it works. The other benefit is it shows you failed trades that the cheat sheet won't catch - where a 2 becomes a 3 in the other direction and stops you out. You'll see that now with this script.
Ability to filter out the long/short rules based on the timeframe continuity of the higher timeframe candles. This is user-configurable so that you can experiment with timeframe continuity and see how strict you want to be with this on your trades.
Show the high/low of the Day, Week, and Month on your chart as horizontal lines that you can use as a reference. This could be used for planning profit targets or seeing how likely a reversal might indicate moving into timeframe continuity.
Candle Type w/2Up + 2Dn v2.0This script builds on Candle Type w/2Up + 2Dn by incorporating signals for inside + up, outside + up, + rev strat set-ups. All of these can be turned off if they compete w/ other indicators or just clutter up the chart.
Briefly, the script works based on #thestrat developed by Rob Smith and the 1-2-3 bar script coded by @Crinklebine. Candle Type w/2Up + 2Dn is a "fork" of @Crinklebine's excellent indicator. I find the visualization of U-D-I-O (up/dn/inside/outside candles) easier to scan through 100's of charts than 1-2-3's. This is just personal preference, but they work based on the exact same principles. Performance is enhanced with a trend filter like @boardriderb's "TC" script or similar timeframe continuity filters based on the #thestrat developed by Rob Smith. I also prefer an ATR-based trailing stop; Rob recommends pSAR for trailing stops.
Together these indicators form a power system, but users are still responsible for their own trade management, entries & exits, risk profiles, stop loss, etc.
Candle State (The Strat)This script identifies the 2 different Candle States for use in #TheStrat.
Candle Up - The close of the current candle is greater than the close of the previous candle.
Candle Down - The close of the current candle is less than the close of the previous candle.
Though this script is extremely simple it is a teaching aid for #TheStrat.
The script also assists in the identification of up and down candles with gaps where the color of candle will not always match the Candle State.
Analysis of the candle types can help you define actionable signals and draw broadening formations.
