Multi-Timeframe Analysis

Multi-timeframe analysis separates bias from timing. The higher timeframe names the trend and the levels that matter. The lower timeframe finds the entry, the stop, and the trigger. A common set is weekly for direction, daily for structure, and an intraday chart for execution. The ratios are a habit, not a rule. The principle is that the higher chart wins arguments.

Start at the top. Mark the primary swing and the nearest higher-timeframe support or resistance. Only then look down for a setup that agrees. If the lower chart says long and the higher chart is pressing into daily supply, you do not have agreement. You have a lower-timeframe long into a higher-timeframe sell zone.

Take trades where the timeframes point the same way. Stand aside or cut size when they conflict. Use the higher timeframe for the target area and the lower timeframe for the invalidation, so the stop is tight only when the higher level is nearby.

Checking a second timeframe only after you have decided, and ignoring it if it disagrees. Also using five timeframes until one of them agrees.

Timeframes are arbitrary slices of the same trades. They can diverge without either being "wrong." The method is a filter against impulse, not a source of certainty.
