timeframes

Most traders don’t lose money because they lack indicators.

They lose money because they look at too much.
Daily chart says bullish.4-hour looks weak.15-minute shows a fake breakout.1-minute is pure noise.

By the time a trader decides, the move is already gone.
This is why so many accounts blow up quietly — not from bad strategies, but from timeframe overload.
The Truth About Profitable Trading
Consistent trading is not about predicting everything.

It’s about reducing decisions.
The market rewards clarity, not complexity.
That’s where the First Candle Rule comes in.
What Is the First Candle Rule?
The first five minutes of the trading day carry more volume and intent than almost any other period.
From 9:30 to 9:35 a.m. New York time, institutions show their hand.
Here’s the rule:
Open the 5-minute chart at market openWait for the first candle to closeMark only two levels:
---------- The high
---------- The low
That’s it.
Those two levels become your entire roadmap for the day.
No daily chart.No 4-hour bias.No indicator stacking.
Where Most Traders Mess This Up
After marking the levels, traders jump in too early.
They enter on:
Candle closesRandom wicks
Hope
That’s gambling.
The Real Entry Logic
Now you drop to the 1-minute chart.
When price approaches one of your marked levels, you wait.
Not for a close.

Not for a wick.
You wait for a Fair Value Gap — a clean gap between candle wicks that shows real momentum.
This tells you who is in control:
BuyersOr sellers
Once that gap forms, you don’t chase.
You wait for price to retest the gap.
And only after that, you look for one confirmation:

An engulfing candle.
That’s your entry.
Risk, Stop, and Target
Stop goes just below the swing lowTarget stays fixed at 3:1 risk-to-reward

No moving targets.

No emotional exits.
Why This Works
Because the market does the heavy lifting.
You’re not forcing trades.

You’re reacting to real order flow.
One candle.Two levels.One confirmation.
That’s discipline.
Final Thought
If you’re tired of overthinking,

tired of chart hopping,

and tired of losses that don’t make sense —
Simplify.
Trading isn’t about seeing more.It’s about seeing less, but clearly.

If you want more practical breakdowns like this —

no hype, no noise —

follow and stay sharp.

Časové rámce — základní regulace tržní analýzy.
V této příručce vymezuje klíčové principy pro pochopení časových rámců — jednoho z hlavních nástrojů kontroly trhu.
1. Co je časový rámec?
Časový rámec je časové nastavení pro to, jak graf zobrazuje pohyb cen.
Každá svíčka reprezentuje pohyb cen v průběhu vybraného intervalu: ať už je to 1 minuta, 4 hodiny nebo 1 den. Myslete na to jako na kapitoly ve zprávě: jeden graf, jeden článek času.
2. Klasifikace časových rámců
V závislosti na přístupu obchodníka se používají různé časové rámce:
