TheStrat Patterns Indicator
TheStrat Patterns
This indicator will draw patterns based on Rob Smith's TheStrat as they emerge in real time on your chart.
As price evolves over time, TheStrat defines 18 distinct price action patterns that can help you get good entries in the market. Each pattern involves two or three candles, and the indicator will draw a bounding box around the candles and name the pattern. The colour of the box will visually indicate the direction of trade expected by the pattern.
