TrendSpider Webinar: Exploring "The Strat" with Rob Smith

In this webinar, we have guest Rob Smith join us to discuss his special candlestick pattern approach to trading. Founder, Dan Ushman shows how users can identify these patterns on the chart to learn what Rob is looking for when using #TheStrat.

Life changing material. Thank you Rob for sharing with the rest of the world. You're a good man.

[@daltonconwell3059]

Rob is amazing, but For anyone looking for more Strat beginner friendly tutorials there’s a couple of other channels Ill recommend you looking into. You can Look up Sara Strat Sniper, Alex Options, Cyber Dog, and Strat Uchiha to name a few. Plenty of others that are great as well but their videos really helped me understand it easier.

[@RielAngelino]

I think he quickly forgot he was talking to people who have not seen this system before. Def going to watch several times over.

[@infantry1560]

Same here, his teaching was a bit too fast and I wasn't able to tell where the entry and exist was. All I hear is 2 1 2 or 2 2 2 or a 3 next to a 2. Very great strategy but need to slow it down a bit.

[@glennglazier2568]

Agree. I think Rob is brilliant, but he loves to reference candles and patterns WITHOUT pointing to them with his cursor or, better yet, annotating them with, say, a circle. I constantly finding myself asking, "WHICH candle or set of candles are you talking about right now!?!"

[@bidxask4666]

Ya he’s not explaining it rlly. Jus saying down 2 we know wat that means…. No we don’t that’s why we’re here

[@retrodigital7114]

There is no way anyone can learn from this guy. He might be great at trading but he's terrible at explaining his approach.

[@THECABSOURHERE]

How this is basic 🔥

[@dcfuture1]

Finally, after 6 years I finally got it. Thank you. I finally got it.

[@mefirst4266]

YOU DO NOT GOT NOTHING !!!!!!

[@eg7990]

My journey has been asking very curious questions to the charts and uncovering the narrative behind every bar and after numerous books and videos i ended up analyzing and trading completely different to whats out there and after 5 years this is the first person that can relate to what i do

[@azmana36]

Rob the Strat is brilliant! Simple way to breakdown the price actions! Yeah there are only 3 scenarios! how cud i missed that.. plus with time frame continuity it make perfect sense! Thanks Rob .. God bless ya!!!

[@fernandodeanda2647]

I thought I was the only one who was confused on how he explained it but after reading these comments I see that I'm not only one that's confused lol

[@ramon4651]

Turned my $1k account to $10k just trading 3-1-2u, 2d-2u, 1-2u, 1-2d set ups in the last two week. Learn this system.

[@granularity2974]

How's it going now; still working out?

[@djgoldie134]

what platform do you use

[@10baggerog98]

wow i am glad I found the strat

[@MaxTor2112]

Ok, so where is the entry points?

[@randymartin9040]

I'm confused by all the times he said "did we know about that? Yes we did". at 19:46 It seemed to say that any time we have a full time frame continuity (which I assume means that price is in the red across monthly, weekly, and hourly, we should be going short.. then he says did we know about that? Yes we did. It seems like he's speaking in short hand which is awful for a tutorial when you're using jargon or glossing over concepts we have only just learned. Can someone elaborate for me please? Also at 19:34 he says Inside bar! Then references the Dec and January bars, saying 2... 1... but then mysteriously goes back 2 candles to October and says 2 again, followed by did we know about that? Yes we did. I most certainly did not know anything about that and am confused as hell. Can you please upload this in 1080p? There are a lot of details that are washed out as it's set to 720p as maximum resolution, which makes it difficult to see when he's jumping around to different time frames with no mention of what he's doing. Great video though from what I can make of it!

[@over6128]

Because the whole point is to get you to ask as many questions as possible & make you join his 200/month tickertocker group..

[@Max-pj9km]

Great webinar!. A lot to learn from Rob Smith.

[@hackinglife9710]

Take the time to learn it. It’s gold

[@CantThinkofaCoolOne]

Am I understanding Full Timeframe Continuity correctly as this : Green - monthly, weekly, daily, 60min - looking to take long trades Red - monthly, weekly, daily, 60min - looking to take short trades ?

[@daltonconwell3059]

Pretty much, you can also use smaller time frames for day trades. If you’re interested in learning more, look up Sara Strat Sniper on here. She trained under rob and has a lot more Strat beginner friendly videos.

[@CantThinkofaCoolOne]

@@daltonconwell3059 - thank you D.C

[@daltonconwell3059]

@@CantThinkofaCoolOne no problem!

[@TUDIU]

I am a bit of confusing when you keep saying two, one, two.....or two and one direction. I really did not get it. Can someone explain it in a different way? I am new to trading and trying to learn..

[@danushman7516]

1 = Inside bar 2 = break one way or other of previous bar (e.g. 2u for break up, 2d for break down) 3 = Outside bar All bars measured High to Low.

[@rickreantaso1466]

Yes it is confusing and I’m not a new trader .I will look into the link provided by Dan .Thanks.

[@karlkindle5275]

i wish he would actually explain. i have no idea wtf he is talking about. 2 2 1 3 up down do we have it? yep! *flips slide*

[@TraderX444]

2 is a continuation bar 3 is a reversal bar forgot what one was

[@azmana36]

@@TraderX444 One is an inside bar

[@apefapperpro5946]

I just found this trading strategy its really dope

[@mikem7643]

How do I get the "TheStrat" pattern alerts? Do they come with TrendSpider or do I need to create them?

[@TrendSpider]

If you use "multi-factor alerts" you can create an alert there. You can also scan for these candlestick patterns that are still currently in force!

[@du1081]

Mike, they're built right in under Pattern Recognition.

[@mikem7643]

Thanks for the fast response guys! I’m signing up for a trial of trendspider. Looks extremely promising

[@TrendSpider]

Let us know if you have any questions at all!

[@Sam-jy5tj]

I’ve been pointed here as an absolute beginner... but it feels more like for people who already know what he’s talking about... are there any tutorials explaining the strat for those who’ve never seen it and don’t know any terminology?

[@echobravo889]

Just Google the terminology

[@allenc2289]

With all due respect this is so confusing

[@revooshnoj4078]

Trading is as easy as 1,2,3.... ;)

[@chase444]

thank you rob omg

[@Khary_Rock]

If you are confused, please follow other STRAT teachers to understand more clearly. THEN, come back to this(or other Rob lessons) and it will be soooo clear!!

[@Khary_Rock]

The STRAT really makes so much sense!!

[@seanchristophergrove790]

Rob could you dumb it down for people who aren't familiar with the Strat?

[@kangchiang3454]

This is confusing AF. Gave up after watching for 20 min.

[@mistletoe91]

Great People are always bad explaners... But they have real wisdom not flashy stuff for sale

[@maximusaurelius610]

Genius

[@absoluttchamp]

These signals are all good, but they never talk about the context of where you should look.

[@TrendSpider]

You should reach out to Rob or join one of his free groups, that would definitely be the place to learn. Off the top of my head I know they look at these patterns around broadening formations both R and S. -Jake

[@950330aa]

He really should probably get someone else to do the training. Rob is not a very good teacher. What does 1-2-3 mean? Instead of explaining this he just jumps right in to his analysis. Right! Right! Right!

[@jamesgood7894]

He covers that at minute 8…

[@paul-fz5tu]

She asks for donations on her videos, and is too busy selling the house to trade. That should give you a few clues.

[@jackbroderick5847]

Rob is a great trader, not so great teacher, one of his students, Sara the Strat Queen is great at explaining this, watch her vids first then come back to this

[@annemorrison9922]

Over my head

[@akinplus1]

Too fast, too confusing. Dude slow it down.

[@danieldvs100]

People do that when they’re nervous

[@maca3930]

It is quite a good way of looking at the markets. BUT, by no means is this an easy way to trade. Lots of traps trying to trade "3" and "1" - I know, Ive tried. They explain what one, three's and two's are, but never show any entries or where we should possibly be entering once you get a closed bar. Again, too much hindsight trading (which this videos is) is really not convincing at all!

[@legoboyfreak1]

the amount of connections you need to work on CBOE at age 15.. wtf

[@franciscojunior6841]

He is too fast... terrible teacher, can someone break down this strategy???

[@Kasey_888]

Quick tip: This is a webinar NOT a trading courseor tutorial! You're not going to learn a whole system in 49 minutes, along with all it entails, whether it be the strat, fibs, renko blocks, covered calls, swinging, scalping etc. I get it sounds like a foreign language but would people expect conversational fluency in less than an hour? Hope not! LMAO Perusing the comments it seems like a lot of folks may need to look up BASIC videos that are INSTRUCTIONAL...a webinar is used to broad scope.

[@mefirst4266]

THE STRATS ARE BULL SHIT !!!!! YES THERE ARE ONLY 3 TYPE CANDLES. BUT IT IS TOO LATE TO TRADE ONCE THE REVERSAL HAS HAPPENED. A CANDLE HAS TO BE A 1 BEFORE IT CAN BE ANYTHING. I LOST A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS BULL SHIT...!!

[@ghahandi]

Rob what two timeframes work best for the SPX?
