Rule #1: Trade in the Direction of the Higher Timeframe Shannon is ruthless about this. If the daily chart is in a downtrend (lower lows, below key moving averages), do not take long entries on the 5-minute chart. You are fighting the tide. HTF: defined range or chop

• IFT: price approaches range edge with low volatility reversal signals.
• ETF: fade into range edge with tight stop beyond zone; target opposite range edge.

Multiple time frame analysis involves analyzing a financial instrument on different time frames to gain a more comprehensive understanding of its price movement.

• Action: Drop to the 60-min or 15-min chart.
• The Signal: Wait for price to come into the "buy zone" identified on the daily chart. On the LTF, you are looking for trend reversal signals (e.g., a higher low, a bull flag, or a volume climax).
• Execution: Enter the trade only when the LTF confirms the reversal. Place your stop loss below the recent LTF swing low.
