Timeframes: from H4 to H1 and M15
A timeframe is the time of one candle. A common mistake is to watch only M5 or M15 and miss the big picture.
Top-down analysis
- H4 or D1 — context. Where is the big trend going? Where are the main zones and liquidity?
- H1 — the working picture. Has price reached the zone of interest from the higher chart? Is there a BOS or ChoCH?
- M15 / M5 — the entry. Is there a reversal confirmation inside the zone? Here the stop is short.
That is why the main TradeSignalos signals are ⭐ H1 and follow the H4 trend direction.
