🎯 Ready to elevate your trading game? Here’s how!
Uncomfortable Truth:
⮕ There’s no "best" timeframe to trade. Your choice should align with your trading style.
To succeed, you'll need 2 timeframes:
⮕ Analysis Timeframe
⮕ Execution Timeframe
Let’s break it down:
1. Analysis Timeframe 🕵️♂️
What to do:
⮕ Study market structure
⮕ Identify trends
⮕ Form your HTF (High Timeframe) bias
Choose 1 of these:
⮕ Weekly
⮕ Daily
⮕ 4-Hour
⮕ 1-Hour
2. Execution Timeframe 🎯
Focus on lower timeframes to:
⮕ Identify entry triggers
⮕ Manage trades
⮕ Set take profits/stop losses
Choose 1 of these:
⮕ Daily
⮕ 4-Hour
⮕ 1-Hour
⮕ 15-Minutes
⮕ 5-Minutes
⮕ 1-Minute
Popular Combo Strategies:
⮕ 1 Week + 1 Day 📅
⮕ 1 Day + 4 Hour ⏰
⮕ 4 Hour + 15 Mins ⏳
⮕ 1 Hour + 5 Mins ⌛
⮕ 15 Mins + 1 Min ⏱️
Which one fits you?
Example: Analysis & Execution Timeframes
Let’s take $SOL for instance:
Daily Analysis Timeframe:
⮕ Shows a shift in market structure from bullish to neutral. This provides context on how the asset is behaving, helping me plan my next trades and strategy.
4-Hour Execution Timeframe:
⮕ After observing the neutral shift on the daily, I might opt for a mean reversion strategy over momentum and trade within the 4-hour range to profit.
Balancing Analysis & Execution Timeframes
To become profitable, you need a balance between the two. But be cautious of these common pitfalls:
3 Major Mistakes Traders Make:
1. Micro-analysis 🧠
⮕ Entering on a higher timeframe, then micro-managing on a lower one? This leads to psychological errors and losses.
For example:
If your investment horizon is 10+ months, don’t stress about the daily timeframe. The same principle applies to smaller timeframes in trading.
2. Not Looking Left 👈
⮕ Too focused on execution levels but ignore previous price action? Knowing how your asset reached your level is crucial for accurate execution.
For example:
If you short a support level using a momentum strategy without realizing price is ranging, your trade could hit a stop loss.
3. Believing in a Perfect Timeframe 🕰️
⮕ There’s no "right" or "wrong" timeframe. All timeframes are fractal; they tell similar stories with different details.
For example:
The market structure seen on a HTF is also visible on a LTF. They might look different, but the story is the same.
