--- Technical Analysis Using Multiple Timeframes By Brian -

By Brian Introduction: The Trap of the Single Chart If you have been trading for any length of time, you have felt the frustration. You look at a 15-minute chart, see a perfect breakout, and buy. Ten minutes later, the trade reverses and stops you out. Confused, you pull up the daily chart and realize—you were buying directly into a major resistance level.

Start tomorrow. Before you place a single order, screenshot the Daily, the 4-Hour, and the 15-minute. If they aren't all aligned, walk away. That discipline is what separates profitable traders from gamblers.

The market is fractal. What happens on the daily chart will dictate the weekly; what happens on the 5-minute is just an echo of the 1-hour.
