TheStrat Protocol is officially published

[Nigel @StratLaboratory]

Got my drafts ready for the next few pieces.

Over the next week, I'll start rewriting and refining them.

I've split the research into two broad concepts:

🔹Actionable Relative Strength: How to actually use it to find setups.
🔹The Science of Sizing, Stops, Trailing stops and Pyramiding.

Which series would you like to see released first?

You do not need to catch the first move.

You need to catch the move that still has room.

💯

Trading with the market and letting your portfolio guide your risk is how you survive volatility.

But that last line is what really resonates with me. FinTwit is so full of "my way is the only way" noise, with very little openness to different styles.

In reality, there are a million ways to trade and just like the wand chooses the wizard, the right approach chooses the trader.

Great stuff, Francesco.

If you do not sell into strength, you will sell into weakness.

[Nigel @StratLaboratory]

A 2-2 reversal is not magic.

It is context plus trigger.

Without both, it is just a pattern on a chart.

Two charts that will help you quantitatively understand today's price action and underlying market breadth

MTIF + FTFC

Volume drying out

$INOD

FTFC + MTIF + holding reclaim lines

$INOD

Still holding those reclaim lines

Beautiful example of a broadening formation expansion and re-test on a LTF

$DOCN - Potential PMG on the cards?

$DOCN - prepare for extension

Daily and Weekly reversal

$SEZL 1-2d-2u
Strong RS - 10 EMA PB

If the week is in force, the day is usually not the place to invent a fight.

Trade with the current.

@djilfitz @alphatrends Thanks a lot @djilfitz . Really appreciate it.

@alphatrends Left out the link to the article! If you fancy some bedtime reading on how Anchored VWAP is a stronger indicator of timeframe continuity than the classic close > open

This small section by @alphatrends was the exact trigger for my latest study.

It led directly to the creation of the AVWAP TFC dots, and the data that proves -- when you combine Anchored VWAP with classic TFC (close >open), you massively reduce shakeouts and increase your probability of hitting magnitude.

Thank you for the spark, Brian!

@galfi_robert @alphatrends You are very kind Robert. Glad you enjoyed it.

Amazon have a robust moderation process. It sometimes takes a few days before it shows up .

The breakthrough for me? I turned this multi-timeframe AVWAP data into a simple set of dots to prevent chart clutter.

No more manually anchoring VWAPs on every ticker. Each dot represents a timeframe. The colour shows alignment and size shows trend strength.

[Nigel @StratLaboratory]

Couldn't agree more with the need for intentionality. Pre-made deep dives rob the trader of the actual process that builds their edge.

I do think there's a flip side to software, though --when it's used as a pure simulation environment. I remember reading a research paper many moons ago that @stamatoudism was involved in, which led me to a simulator (https://t.co/pTLA9dS2MG). I still use it.

It strips away the ticker and gives you nothing but price and volume to trade. It’s fascinating because it doesn't give you the answers; it just puts you in the hot seat. It also makes you realise that you make biased decisions when you know the ticker you are trading.

Software that automates the thinking is a trap, but software that forces deliberate practice is a great way to put in the reps. :)

[Nigel @StratLaboratory]

The best traders are not busy.

They are selective.

There is a difference.

A strong candle does not fix a weak location.

If the level is wrong, the candle is just noise with confidence.

$SNDK loves a good inside bar continuation, doesn't it?
