SwingTheStrat – TheStrat Technical Analysis for Traders
SwingTheStrat is a trading education platform built around TheStrat methodology — a rules-based price action system
developed by Rob Smith. TheStrat classifies every candle into one of three scenario types (1, 2, or 3) based on its
relationship to the prior candle's range, enabling traders to identify high-probability setups across any timeframe.
What Is TheStrat?
TheStrat is a technical analysis framework that uses Full Time Frame Continuity (FTFC) to align signals across multiple
timeframes — monthly, weekly, daily, and intraday. When all timeframes align directionally, traders gain high-conviction
entries. Key patterns include broadening formations (scenario 3 candles), inside bars (scenario 1), and directional
breakouts (scenario 2). SwingTheStrat provides daily screened watchlists and signal alerts based on these setups.
The Strat Protocol – Trading Novel
The Strat Protocol is a narrative trading novel by Nigel Johnson. It follows fictional trader James Hunt as he
learns TheStrat methodology from first principles. The book covers Full Time Frame Continuity, broadening formations,
signal candles, and the psychology of disciplined trading — making it a unique entry point for traders who learn better
through story than through textbooks.
Who Is SwingTheStrat For?
SwingTheStrat is designed for swing traders who want a systematic, rules-based approach to reading price action without
relying on lagging indicators. It is suitable for traders of US equities, ETFs, and futures across daily and weekly charts.
