01 / Overview
Key Features
4 Independent Timeframes
Configure up to 4 timeframe slots (TF1–TF4), each with their own STRAT reference levels, colors, and display settings.
H / L / 50% Midpoints
For each enabled timeframe, draws the prior bar's High, Low, and 50% midpoint as horizontal lines. These are the core STRAT reaction levels.
Target Lines
Optional upper and lower target levels beyond the prior high and low, calculated as a configurable multiplier of the prior bar's range.
History Panel
Optional on-chart table showing the prior bars' OHLC values for each enabled timeframe. Quick reference without reading individual lines.
Color-Coded by Timeframe
Each TF has its own line color scheme for high, low, and midpoint lines. Independent line styles and widths.
Alert-Ready
Set TradingView price alerts on any drawn level by right-clicking the line on the chart.
02 / Concept
How It Works
→ Why These Levels Matter
The STRAT Reaction Zones
In The STRAT, every prior bar's high, low, and 50% midpoint is a significant price level. The high and low define the range that a 2-Up or 2-Down breakout must exceed. The 50% midpoint acts as a pivot — price above it is bullish for that period; below is bearish. sXSTRATs draws all of these automatically across multiple timeframes.
01
Fetch Prior Bar Data
For each enabled timeframe, the indicator fetches the high, low, open, and close of the most recent completed bar using request.security() with confirmed bar data.
02
Calculate Reference Levels
High and Low come directly from the fetched bar. The 50% midpoint is calculated as (High + Low) / 2. Target levels are calculated as High + (Range × Target Multiplier) and Low - (Range × Target Multiplier).
03
Draw Lines
Each level is drawn as a horizontal line using the color, style, and width configured for that TF. Lines extend the configured number of bars left and right.
04
History Panel (optional)
When the History Panel is enabled, an on-chart table shows the prior bar OHLC values for each active TF. Useful for morning prep without reading individual lines.

04 / Best Practices
Pro Tips
The 50% Midpoint Is the Most Important Level
For any timeframe, whether price is above or below the prior bar's 50% midpoint defines the bias for that period. Use it as your primary filter before checking anything else.
Stack Daily and Weekly Together
Enable TF1 = Daily and TF2 = Weekly. The interaction between daily and weekly STRAT levels creates the highest-conviction reaction zones — where both timeframes converge is where you focus.
Use Targets for Measured Moves
When a STRAT 2-Up fires and breaks the prior high, the target level shows where a measured move would reach. Set the Target Multiplier to 1.0 for a 1:1 extension.
History Panel for Morning Prep
Enable the History Panel the night before or pre-market. See all key STRAT levels at a glance without reading individual lines. Then disable it during the session to reduce clutter.
Combine with Radar's TFC Filter
When sXRadar's TFC filter is ON, it is checking whether price is above or below these exact STRAT reference levels. Understanding what sXSTRATs draws helps you understand exactly what TFC is filtering.

→ sXSuite IntegrationsXSTRATs is the foundational reference layer for the entire sXSuite. The STRAT levels drawn here are what sXRadar's TFC filter checks. They are what sXMTF Trends uses for multi-timeframe bias. And they are the levels that sX SBox targets project from. Think of sXSTRATs as the source of truth that all other indicators in the suite build on.
