Cleaned transcript

A cleaned breakdown of the handwritten notes, rather than an independent validation of their trading claims.

  • The Strat: understanding its candle patterns and use of previous highs/lows as targets.
  • The central takeaway is that price seeks stop-loss liquidity and inefficiencies.
  • Breaking an inside candle’s range is connected to triggering orders around that range.
  • The notes criticize the risk-to-reward of Strat breakout entries while retaining it as a way to recognize broadening formations.

Diagrams & examples

  • A contracting wedge and a broadening formation. The broadening example is labelled a “bad trading session.”
  • The attached Strat reference sheet belongs with this lesson.
