Frequently Asked Questions
What timeframes should I use with TheStrat?
The framework is fractal. You can use it on any timeframe, but we recommend the 60m, Daily, and Weekly for swing trading.
Can I trade against FTFC?
You can, but the probability of success drops significantly. Full Timeframe Continuity is your wind at your back.
What is the main edge of TheStrat?
The edge is not prediction. The edge is confirmation, structure, and discipline. TheStrat helps you wait for the move to prove itself before you risk money.
Why do broadening formations matter?
Because they show price discovery in motion. The market is expanding, testing both sides of the range, and telling you where real decisions are likely to happen.
