foreign all right uh testing testing if you can hear me uh go ahead and put a one in the chat please just want to make sure that the audio is working here let me close some things out all right good good good good good good okay so um welcome to strap beginner series number three um so last week we talked about broadening formations and price expansion and you know broader information is just being a series of higher highs and lower lows um this week we are going to be talking about time frame continuity and then also uh the uncoupling um so just to keep it like in its simplest form I know there you know there's others who've made like very eloquent videos about it but I try to you know just keep it as simple as possible um and for the record that's not a knock on anybody else just you know I try to keep it simple as possible um so what time frame continuity is uh as Sarah Strat sniper says um basically the trend is your friend right so um it's a part of the universal truths the time for in continuity and what it contributes to is probably the um the highest probability of a successful trade right when you combine that with the broadened formation and as well as you know an actionable signal so basically with the time frame continuity um no matter what time frames uh that you're looking at you know depending on what type of Trader you are whether it you know you are a scalper or um you know day trader or uh swing trainer or long-term like leap options Trader or if you don't trade options like you know investor like so they'll go for the long term um you want to make sure that you are entering with the trend basically the trend is your friend all time frames are in unison um with each other right ideally what we would love to do as Striders is jump into reversals into two time frame continuity because again the trend is your friend the way that I look at it is kind of like I don't know if you guys have ever seen uh the show Life Below Zero but uh one of the guys on there his name is Andy bassage uh he lives next to the Yukon river very strong River very strong flow very strong current um and so the example or the example that I have in my mind with that is if you jump into that Yukon River and you try to swim upstream you're probably going to end up dying because you're going against the current and it's going you know you're basically going to fail as opposed to if you're trying to head Downstream or if you hadn't went in whatever direction that river is Flowing you're going with that flow there's less um there's less obstacles there's less resistance with that you know particular trait as long as you're going with that flow so again um the trend is your friend uh basically the more time frames that are in your favor the higher the probability of success for your trade um so with that being said do uh because I know the question always comes up do all time frames have to be you know exactly in your favor not necessarily um ideally you would want you would want them all right but if not I know some traders that have taken trades where you know for the most part the larger time frames are the ones that are in time for in continuity um in confirmation with each other um and then maybe like the smaller time frame may not be um those are probably you know some of the better trades that you can look for like if you see for example um even though I'm not currently showing it but like let's say the month the week and the day we're all in confirmation with each other right and then you half the 60s so let's say they were all up right the month the day the week are all up they're all bullish but then you have a bearish day you know for me I'm looking at that as a as a potentially good setup especially if it ends up that day ends up as an actionable signal right let's say it ends up being like a two down um uh hammer right well Hammer that is a two down right so you're looking at that like okay so if we're if we potentially reverse on the next candle of the 60 we're reversing right into time frame continuity so therefore you can go ahead and you know get in on that trade and it's probably going to be a pretty successful trade right if you're looking to enter on the 60 you always want to double check the larger time frames to see if they're in confirmation with what it is that you're trying to do all right um if there's any questions while I'm doing this please don't hesitate I will pause uh from time to time to answer any questions that come through but time for in continuity is pretty straightforward um right so with that being said um you have four C's essentially when it comes to time frame continuity right um control confirm change and conflict right for most Striders they're looking at these four time frames you have the month here you got the week you got the day and then you have the the hour or the 60 right I personally don't use the 60 I personally use the 65 shout out to 8X for putting a brother on to that um but for the 60 what that tells us and why it's so important is it shows us who's currently in control right you still want to obviously you still work your way from larger time frames into the smaller time frames but the 60 will show you what's happening right now right so let's say you know Monday you know we open up we see exactly what's happening on that first hour who's in control on that first hour right and whatever's going on with that hour again depending on how you want to trade it you also want to make sure that those other time frames are in confirmation with each other in confirmation with each other just means that you know everybody's everybody's on the same page right the different participation groups so the people who trade the 60 are in confirmation with the people who trade the daily with the Traders on the weekly with the Traders on the month that's confirmation right those different participation groups are in confirmation with each other and then also the control again that's where the 60 comes into play it tells you who's in control right now at that very moment right um as far as change um you know essentially all that is just to change of the time frame continuity right so um you usually see that once uh for example if you see it in either the top or the bottom of a broadening formation um you know usually probably on a larger time frame and then you start to see the time frame continuity change like if you hit the top it exhausts you catch the reversal not only on The Daily but then the daily leads to the weekly and the weekly leads to the month and then the month leads to the uh to the quarter Etc and so on and so on if that's your change in your time frame continuity right um there are you know there are going to be times where you'll have that ability to trade that even though um let's say the larger time frames may not have caught up at the time but usually if you're at exhaustion risk um on the larger time frames you know you might see the day go red first and then that's gonna again lead to the change of the rest of the time frames on the weekly the monthly Etc one second and then conflict is just um you know I'll see if we can look at some tickers a little bit uh later on towards the end of this conflict is basically just the time frame continuities are not in confirmation with either with with each other right for example you can have uh the hour is read um you know but the day could be green the the week could be read and so like and you know it doesn't have to be in that order but they're just basically not in confirmation with each other and usually if that's happening you probably don't want to really mess around too much in it especially if you're seeing like inside um candles on um you know some of the different time frames because you know that could just with that type of indecision nothing in confirmation you can end up kind of getting chopped up and your your trade kind of not really working in your favor remember as shredders we want to take the highest probability trade there is no strategy that's 100 let me be clear on that right so this is not guarantee if you jump into a trade with all three uh universal truth in in unison with one another for example again actionable signal broadening formation and then also the time frame uh continuity um it just again it just makes it the highest probable trade for Success it's not going to be 100 every single time everybody takes else right um but those are your four C's right the 60 will show you you know who's in control right now um confirmation right when you're trying to enter on one time frame whether it be the 60 or if you're a swing Trader um you know like me you might be entering on The Daily or the weekly you always want to make sure and confirm or excuse me you always want to make sure that you check with the larger time frames to confirm that they're in you know basically in unison with the trade that you're trying to enter into on that particular time frame um then you have conflict again you know that's just where you have the different participation groups that are you know all doing different things right you can have the quarterly Traders you know they could be bearish the monthly Traders are bullish weekly Traders bullish but then the daily Traders are bearish right um hourly as well as well too could be bearish as well too right so that's just showing that that's in conflict and again I'm not saying don't ever trade something like that but you mean the idea is you know as far as um sticking to the Strat principles the idea again is to jump into trades that have the highest probability of success all right uh let me pause here to see if there's any questions uh the four C's yeah uh the four C's are control change conference confirm and then conflict um I'll type it in give me one second um change conflict and confirm there you go all right one second let me see if there is sorry answering one question foreign you get it cool all right so now back to the the different time frames remember I said you would want them to be in unison and Confirmation um but also importantly you would want them to be um uncoupled okay uh and what I mean by that is is the more time frames are uncoupled the more you actually get to see what the different participation groups are doing right so when I say participation groups um in this example uh we'll talk we're talking about the monthly swing right the monthly Traders probably swing Traders right uh the weekly Traders probably a combination of uh swing trading um maybe some intraday Traders but probably mostly swing Traders here but just trade maybe like two weeks at a time right or a week at a time right uh daily Traders um as well right those are uh well yeah again for you know the day Traders probably and then also the hour is probably going to be the day Traders and the smaller time frames will probably be the scalpers as well too or the scalpers may even be using the 60 I'm not really sure I'm primarily a swing Trader because of my lifestyle so you would have to ask um if anybody's in the chat that's a day trader or a scalper you're more than welcome to put in the comments what time frames um you particularly use um you know to help out anybody that's watching this that is not necessarily a swing Trader but back to the uncoupling you want to know what all the different participation groups are doing all right when the year began when the year first began the first day of trading for the year of this year 2023 the year the quarter the month the week the day were all coupled together our during the first hour of the of the first training day they were all coupled together right so that information so what you could be seeing is you know everything could be green during that first day but you're not actually getting I call it kind of like in my mind I kind of look at it as kind of false information because you're not seeing necessarily what the different participation groups actually think or what how they actually feel about that particular ticker because everything is completely coupled together right so you would want them to be uncoupled so for example the second day now the dailies young couple right so once the second day happens then the daily time frame is now uncoupled from all the other time frames right same thing for second week right once we get to the second week not only is the daily but also the weekly is now uncoupled from the month the quarter et cetera Etc right once we get to the second month now the month is uncoupled from all the other different time frames right and again now we get to really see what the different participation groups are doing and the same thing for the quarter right so um in this scenario here right I'm using the bar rewind we've rewound all the way back to June right the end of June we're coming into July so once July began let's see if I do this right right so that's 9 30. okay so we got the first hour candle right here right during this first hour it is current the first hour is currently coupled in time frame excuse me it's coupled together with all the other time frames right the the daily the weekly the month right once we get this second hourly candle right here that's when this hour is now officially uncoupled from the day of the week and the month and now we really see what the hourly Traders are and how they're feeling about this particular trade excuse me about this particular ticker at least for again just for this hour time frame right now going to the Daily right so this is again this is oh wait sorry hold up my bad I thought I had rewind this back to you know a second there so we will right so the hour uncouples and then here we are with the daily this is the first day of um July right so this is the beginning of the reason why I chose July because this is the beginning of the third quarter it's the beginning of a new month it was the beginning I rewind it so it become the beginning of the new week same thing for the daily and same thing for the hour right so the hour uncouples once that second candle comes into play right so now we have the daily over here this is the first day of of July right we're still currently let me Mark out the open where is it there we go right so this is the first day here and then we're going to uncouple once we get to the second day oh wrong thing my bad my bad looking on the wrong one there we go oh my gosh my bad y'all just got back to here right so once we get a new open on the second day right we've now officially uncoupled from again the week because this is the first week right here first day first week in time frame continuity until we get to this second day right here right this is the first day first day of the week right they're both in time for in continuity until we get to the second day and now that we have a new open right we've now uncoupled from the hour uncoupled from the daily uh excuse me uncoupled from the hour the hours uncoupled the dailies uncoupled and now we're working on the second week here there we go so now we have the second week right and we've uncoupled there as well too right so once though once those have begun to uncouple what you're now seeing is the different time frames and how they are you know basically how the participation groups are doing now you can kind of trust more the time frame continuity that you're seeing because you're seeing that these have uncoupled and obviously when we get to the monthly right um [Music] right so this is the beginning of the month everything is all coupled right and then again as the month continues on by the second week week is uncoupled and then the month will uncouple once it gets to the second month once we go ahead and get to August then the month is officially uncoupled from the quarterly as well too so now we have officially uncoupled once we've gotten to August all right so basically what you want what the uncoupling is you want to see the what the different participation groups are doing so that when you're seeing this full-time firm continuity um well for lack of a better word you can trust it more because now you're seeing what the different participation groups are doing and if they're in confirmation with each other that means they all agree so if you have an uncoupled quarter month week daily right an hour and they're all bullish they're uncoupled now you're seeing five different participation groups who are all in complete agreement about a particular ticker and saying hey it's time to buy this thing right so when you jump into that trade um you know whether it be a continuation because I know people trade continuations as well or reversal again you're going with the flow you're going with the trend you're also understanding that all the different participation groups are in confirmation in agreement with each other right and so therefore those are recipes excuse me that's a recipe for a highly probable uh highly probable successful trade and um you can feel more comfortable and have more conviction going into it let me pause here see if there's any questions Perfect all right so yeah um I mean that's pretty much it in a nutshell right with the uncoupling um it pretty much helps to know who's in control with the different participation groups so and this is the reason why conflict you know time for in continuity and conflict is so important especially if they're uncoupled you have some of the larger time frames that are in conflict with each other um you know in with respect to like let's say the daily time frame then yeah it's probably not going to be a very successful trade or if you're doing it to like get in real quick like a quick scalp and just make sure your Tech you're checking all the different time frames and make sure the larger time frames are in um you know are in confirmation with what it is that you're trying to do ideally for me like I really like when everything's completely uncoupled and then when I'm looking at the trade let's say to enter it on the 65 minute excuse me let's say all the other larger time frames are you know bullish right but then let's say the daily is bearish right if I get an actionable signal you know like a hammer for that thing to reverse and go right back into you know bullish time for income I'm in there boom you know what I mean because I have a conviction you know I have a very high conviction I'm mentoring with the flow um if it's you know entering from the you know uh from exhaustion point you know back to the upside even better right um but yeah that's essentially though those are essentially the things that you're looking for when it comes to time for in continuity you're looking to see identify which currency it is right who's in control right um are they in confirmation with each other right or it's time for in continuity changing is there a conflict whatsoever right so ask yourself those things when you're looking at the time frame Continuum but then also ask about you know when it comes to the uncoupling you also want to know you know Warren depth like are we coupled together right when I'm looking at that Weekly is that is that uncoupled from the daily is it uncoupled from the hour if that's what you're trying to trade on if I'm looking at a month if I'm looking at the month um or even let's say the quarter is the quarter or the quarter in the month coupled together you know what I mean um again the more uncoupled it is the better because then you'll really get to see I guess kind of like I said the truth right you'll be able to trust it more um you know and pretty much go from there anyway that's pretty much it right the the third part is pretty straightforward um I'll go more in depth on the uncoupling um in a separate video but that's pretty much it straightforward as far as being the time frame continuity and the uncoupling I'll find um some other examples to kind of elaborate on the uncoupling um next I guess I'm gonna redo the tto kind of we'll talk about that as well too in the next um series um and then I'll just you know keep looking for other topics and kind of keep building off of that if there's any topics that you want to see um regarding the Strat please don't hesitate to leave it in the comments of any videos um I get them and you know they'll help as far as putting together the series for the entire Strat and then uh we'll probably do a video where we just put everything together um there's actually currently a swing trade that I'm potentially looking at that I told the group in Zamunda let's hope that thing works out in our favor and then you know I'll see you all in uh January about it all right so uh thank you guys so much for your time um yes for those asking it will be recorded uh some people hit me up on the Discord I see it on my phone asking if it's going to be recorded yes it is going to be recorded because it's live it's going to be on my YouTube you can always come back to the YouTube and you'll see it um and yeah like I said if there's any questions don't hesitate to leave them in the comments section um you know we'll go from there alright guys love peace and chicken grease see y'all later
