If properly set up, all pinch points lubricated and used for the range for which it is designed a floating strat tremelo is stable (my 1961 strat has a floater, and gives me 3 semitones of movement on the G string, 2 on the B string and 1 on the top E). If you want to alter pitch by 4 semitones or more, or divebomb, then a locking tremelo and locking nut will be stable - this is the case for my 1986 Charvel Model 4 with a Kahler tremelo and locking nut - it never detunes....
