Imagine getting infront of a train barreling down a track.
Then telling that train to turn around 1 foot before it hits you.
That is what #TheStrat allows traders to do.
Most people learn how price reverses with #TheStrat and then struggle a bit until figuring out this part.
We need to make sure to time our reversals at places price SHOULD reverse.

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.
Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.
One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.
Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.
Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"
"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."
He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."
The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."
Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.
But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,
"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."
So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.
Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."

When covid happened the whole market puked and we saw $ZM go 3-2u quarter with FTFC.
Backtest this in each market crash & be prepared for the next one!

Shocking stat of the day:
Currently, ~82% of the US population lives in regions experiencing an economic recession, the highest share since 2020.
The analysis uses the Fed Beige Book, a report published 8 times a year based on anecdotal information gathered from businesses, economists, and market contacts from the 12 Fed districts.
The percentage has DOUBLED since the start of 2025.
Over the last 20 years, only 2008 and 2020 saw such a large share of the country in recession.
Meanwhile, the latest Atlanta Fed estimate for real US GDP growth in Q3 2025 is +3.9%.
What is happening here?
The solid growth and balanced labor market lines are pure choreography carefully chosen words to avoid spooking markets while keeping the door open for future easing. But the real irony? The Fed is being forced to act based on incomplete information, yet the markets will still trade their every word as gospel. That’s how fragile the current system is policy shaped by perception rather than fundamentals.
No Kings Rally
What’s the demand?
What’s the outcome ?
Where’s the true disruption ?
Controlled peaceful protest aren’t effective
although they showcase dissatisfaction of the collective they don’t produce results.
When price makes a high
It then makes a low
Then it makes a high
And then a low
Price moves in repeating new highs and new lows
That’s a broadening formation!
