Start LearningWhat is TheStrat?
TheStrat is the most empirical, rules-based price action system in existence. Developed by Rob Smith, it classifies every candle into one of three scenarios based on its relationship to the prior candle's range.
When combined with Full Time Frame Continuity (FTFC), it enables traders to identify high-probability setups across any timeframe with mathematical precision.
