The Strat Combos
Best actionable Strat setups
Entries, stops, and T1 are derived from Strat combo structure: failed 2s, 3–1 breaks, 2–1 breaks, RevStrats, 2–2 momentum, and 3–2–2 reversals. T2 is SpotWing’s measured target.
Cheat codeBull trend: failed 2D · 3–1 up · 2–1 upBear trend: failed 2U · 3–1 down · 2–1 down
1
Inside bar
Takes out no side of the previous bar; price is consolidating and neither side is in control.
2U / 2D
Directional bar
Takes out one side of the previous bar. 2U breaks the prior high; 2D breaks the prior low.
3
Outside bar
Takes out both sides of the previous bar; expansion that often sets up a reversal or broadening range.
Setup rules
Based on the reference images and Kenny's guidance.
✓ Bullish trend: prioritize failed 2Ds, 3–1 breaks up, and 2–1 breaks up.
✓ Bearish trend: prioritize failed 2Us, 3–1 breaks down, and 2–1 breaks down.
✓ Entry is the break of the actionable Strat bar: above the trigger high for bullish, below the trigger low for bearish.
✓ Stop is the opposite side of the combo structure: under the setup low for bullish, above the setup high for bearish.
✓ T1 follows the Strat combo's own magnitude/structure projection — not SpotWing's measured-move target.
✓ T2 is SpotWing's existing measured/structural pattern target when it agrees with the Strat direction.
✓ Named combos covered now: failed 2s, 2-1-2, 3-1-2, 1-2-2 RevStrat, 2-2, 3-2-2, and a cautious one-bar RevStrat read on outside bars.
✓ Gap check: 1-3 RevStrat and 2-1-1 continuation are real Strat variants, but they are not promoted unless you want them added to this playbook.
✓ Works on all time frames; use full-time-frame continuity before sizing up.
