The top-down approach
Timeframe
Weekly / Daily
- Purpose
- Macro draw
- What to look for
- Where are the major untaken liquidity pools?
Timeframe
2H / 4H
- Purpose
- Session bias
- What to look for
- FTSH or FTSL? Premium or discount? HTF FVGs?
Timeframe
5m
- Purpose
- Intraday levels
- What to look for
- Mark the range and session levels, identify which ERL gets swept
Timeframe
1m / 3m
- Purpose
- Execution
- What to look for
- Find the sweep, displacement, FVG, and enter
Price does the same thing on the 2H that it does on the 1m, just at different scales. The more timeframes that agree, the higher your probability.
Once price confirms it is holding the higher-timeframe imbalance, you will notice repeated manipulation of lower-timeframe highs. Your objective is to identify this manipulation and trade the continuation that follows. The flip side is also true: if the higher timeframe is weak, the lower timeframes will catch up eventually.
Before you move on
- You start every session on the highest timeframe, not the lowest
- You can say what each timeframe is for without checking
