I'm looking for beta readers for my debut novel - #TheStrat Protocol. A hedge fund trader on the brink discovers TheStrat. No more indicators. No more gut feel. Just the universal truths about how price actually moves. If that sounds like your kind of book, I'd love your eyes on it 👇 swingthestrat.kit.com/d17e826e2b

If you have FTFC, you don't need a "perfect" entry. You just need an actionable signal on a lower time frame to join the flow. #TheStrat

Trading against FTFC is like betting against a tsunami. You might be right for a second (or 15-mins), but the aggregation will eventually crush you. #TheStrat

Full Time Frame Continuity (FTFC) is the ultimate tailwind. If the Month, Week, Day and 60m are all the same colour, the probability of failure greatly reduces. #TheStrat

$CRCL- showing some Relative Strength 3-1-2u on the 60

When a setup technically qualifies but something feels off — what do you do? 1) Enter anyway, trust the framework 2) Skip it, wait for clearer structure 3) Enter smaller than usual 4) Still figuring this out #theStratProtocol

One to watch next week @TEEELAZER . 3-1-2dG month A classic VCP/screwdriver on the daily $ANET

A few more @TEEELAZER $BLSH $LSCC [Inside month!] $ARM $BKSY

How do you handle a no-trade day when nothing qualifies? 1) I find something anyway 2) I watch and learn 3) I walk away entirely 4) Still working on it #theStratProtocol

@TEEELAZER Got my eyes on this one - $COHU

Great to meet you mate. Turned full time trader 6 months ago. In my prior life, I was a product director - using data and ML to solve complex business problems. I've a very simple data ingestion pipeline, a few docker containers and everything is aggregated. ~50 users so far, so no need for K8s yet, but you never know.

Yes, I’ll share some of my charts that get spawned by my bot later. Super nice to meet you here!! I’ve never met anyone who has this kind of automation and AI based or automated Trading. I work at the software company, red hat and I’m an open shift Kubernetes‘s engineer. We have some amazing AI tools built into open shift and I’m using those to run. My bought 24 seven in the cloud on a Kubernetes cluster.

Do you map broadening formations before you enter a trade? 1) Yes, every time 2) Sometimes on higher timeframes 3) Never thought about it 4) I do something different - reply below #theStratProtocol

@Leadpro_Systems @WALLSTREETLEAPS InForce automatically puts you into high RS stocks.

@StratLaboratory @WALLSTREETLEAPS 1. What do you use for FTFC with the 30/60 entries? Must D, W, M all align or you ok with 2 out of the 3? 2. "Until signal is not in force" - On which TF for swing?

You don't lose because your setups are wrong. You lose because: - You buy at the top of BFs - You enter before FTFC confirms - You hold past magnitude - You hold when signals are no longer in force. - You revenge trade after losses Fix the violations. TheStrat works. #theStratProtocol

Been trading for five plus years, but only trade commons and CFDs. Just starting to trade options. It's a whole new world. Haven't yet found my edge. [What better time to learn a new skill, when the market's been so choppy] Tried call debit spreads last year but didn't find much success. I am now trying 2dGW on stocks that have shown high 1M RS.

@StratLaboratory No theta burn . I have a strategy that gets me a consistent 1:5rr and 1:10 rr a few times a week intraday. I get paid for being right. Options you have to be right and quickly as possible. Only downfall is death by 1000 paper cuts is common if you don’t know how to wait

@PrinceM1ke What prompted the move to Futures? Never traded them, but only use it to understand market regime.

@StratLaboratory Usually I keep around 3-5 thematic universe with no more then 10 stocks in each. Then I scan for my two favorite setups on those names. This past month I switched to futures so it hasn’t been as relevant. I treat my setup as a universe for futures and trade them with ftfc

Price doesn't move. It aggregates. Institutions can't buy 10 million shares at once. They have to aggregate over time, creating 2-continuations. #TheStrat

If you don't mind me asking : how many are in your universe and how often do you update them? I used to maintain a fixed universe, but I've since moved to a 'stocks in play' collection that I refresh weekly. Especially in this recent market, thematic cycles seem to emerge and last around 3–5 days, so you've got to keep things fresh. This year alone we've had Quantum, Space, Photonics, Memory, Solar, LIDAR, HPC, Miners, Oil & Gas, Trucking, Publishing, Data Centres... (and I'm sure I've missed more!)

@StratLaboratory Yeah. 3-1 4Hr timeframe and above with gap up sells and gap down buys. I also have a motherbar reclaim strategy intraday.

@ybd65sge love the nomenclature.

@StratLaboratory That’s what my geometry engine does

@ybd65sge Working on a project to classify broadening formations. No two BFs are equal 😀

@StratLaboratory Fantastic. Are those programmatically auto generated from composite 3s looking backwards right to left?

@ybd65sge I look for recent swing lows and draw a line between the two. Yes, they'll be a 3 on some HTF. I also monitor reclaim levels from the 3 most recent HH/LL

@PrinceM1ke Nice. Do you have a fixed universe, Michael?

@StratLaboratory I’m an intraday trader for more context. If I was a swing trader. I’d go up more timeframes.

@ybd65sge Love it. Very similar. I keep the latest 2 broadening formations so I can see how its evolving.

@StratLaboratory It’s the very first thing my automated system does before the market opens. is find every stock in the S&P 500 that has a nice broadening formation on the daily.
