TheStrat Suite
Free, open-source multi-timeframe price-action indicator for TradingView (Pine Script v6), implementing Rob Smith's TheStrat methodology. Built and maintained by 345 Strategies; sibling tools and research tracks live in this repo alongside it.
What counts as "TheStrat Suite": whatever ships inside the one TheStrat Suite indicator script on TradingView. Tools that ship as their own scripts are siblings under this roof with their own names — if one later merges into the indicator, it joins the Suite. Distribution decides, not methodology.
The indicator
Multi-timeframe price action indicator (Pine Script v6), implementing Rob Smith's TheStrat methodology. Six configurable timeframes on one chart: bar classification, signal detection with magnitude and exhaustion targets, Full Timeframe Continuity, stop levels, Domino detection, consolidated alerts, and a live multi-timeframe data table.
Get it on TradingView: TheStrat Suite [Open Source] — Entries, Targets, and Stop Loss
Setup guides and background: thestratsuite.com
Quick start
- Add the indicator to your chart on TradingView — or copy
pine/TheStratSuite_v3.1.1.pine into the Pine editor (it imports TheStratGrammar, published on TradingView).
- Pick a Timeframe Preset (TheStrat Classic, Scalp, Day Trade, Futures/Crypto, Swing Trade, Investing) — or set Custom and configure the six slots yourself.
- Read
docs/concepts/bar-types.md and docs/concepts/signals.md to learn what you're looking at.
No Heiken-Ashi
TheStrat reads real candles. Every bar type compares a candle's traded high and low with the
prior candle's, and in-force, Failing 2s and continuity compare traded opens and closes.
Heiken-Ashi candles are averages: each open is the midpoint of the previous Heiken-Ashi candle
and each close the mean of four prices, so their opens, highs, lows and closes are not prices
that traded, and Strat bar types read from them are wrong. Do not use TheStrat Suite, or any
tool in this repo, on a Heiken-Ashi chart. Use candles, bars (OHLC) or hollow candles.
- TradingView: the Suite does not detect a Heiken-Ashi chart, and its higher timeframes are
then built from Heiken-Ashi prices too, so every row of the table is affected.
- NinjaTrader: the port refuses Heiken-Ashi charts and shows a notice instead.
- thinkorswim: the beta does not detect a Heiken-Ashi chart. Use candles or bars.

grammar/ — the Strat grammar (Python)
Technical definitions of the price action states themselves: the four-field model every
candle reduces to, and the edge cases that make two implementations disagree. SPEC.md is
the definition; thestrat_grammar/ is a dependency-free Python reference implementation.
tests/test_pine_parity.py transcribes detectBarTypeAndFailed from the shipped Pine and
compares the two across 40,000 random bars in both detection methods, so the spec can't
drift from the indicator.
TheStratGrammar.pine is the same grammar as a TradingView library; the Suite imports it as of
v3.1.1 (import SpinTrades/TheStratGrammar/1). Published versions: PUBLISHED.md.
ninjatrader/ — TheStrat Suite for NinjaTrader 8 (C#)
A full port of v3.1.1 as a NinjaScript indicator, free under MPL-2.0, in beta. Import
ninjatrader/dist/TheStratSuite_NT8_v0.2.0.zip in NinjaTrader; ninjatrader/TESTER_GUIDE.md is
the guide for beta testers. ninjatrader/README.md covers
install, where it differs from the Pine, and the in-app checks still to do.
grammar/tests/test_nt_parity.py checks its engine against the grammar.
