Multi-Timeframe Analysis

The professional approach to market analysis

Multi-Timeframe Analysis (MTA) uses 3 timeframes simultaneously:

1. Higher TF (trend): Determines overall direction (Daily) 2. Middle TF (setup): Identifies trading setups (4H) 3. Lower TF (entry): Times precise entries (1H)

The Rule of 4-6: Each timeframe should be 4-6x the next lower one.

Process: 1. Check daily for trend direction 2. Drop to 4H for setup identification 3. Drop to 1H for precise entry timing 4. Only take trades that align on all three timeframes

Pro tip: Never fight the higher timeframe trend. If daily is bearish, only look for shorts on 4H and 1H..

Common mistake: Taking a 15-minute buy signal when the daily chart is bearish. Better: Always align with the higher timeframe trend. It overrides everything..
