In this video I’m putting The Strat together the way I actually use it when I’m trading—so it’s not just “here are the candle types,” but how you go from a clean read to a real plan. The whole point is to stop guessing and start building a simple, repeatable process: identify what type of day you’re in, find the actionable context, and then execute with a defined trigger and invalidation. If you’ve been learning 1s, 2s, 3s, inside bars, and broadening candles, this is where it clicks into something you can trade. I walk through how I think about continuity, timeframes, and alignment—because a pattern by itself is not a strategy. I’m always asking: what’s the higher timeframe doing, where’s price likely to get stuck, and what’s my “if I’m wrong, I’m out” level? The takeaway is that The Strat isn’t magic; it’s structure. When you combine the pattern with context, risk, and execution, you get a framework that keeps you from overtrading and helps you stay consistent.
