After 9 years in the trenches, here's my exact timeframe setup and how I stack them for clean execution.
Most traders overthink this. You don't need 10 charts open. You need 3-4 that actually talk to each other.
Here's the framework:
📊 Daily chart = Bias. Where's the liquidity sitting? Are we bullish or bearish macro?
⏰ 4H chart = Structure. Where are the key levels? HTF order blocks, FVGs, liquidity sweeps.
⚡ 1H chart = Entry zone. This is where I mark my trigger areas based on what the 4H is telling me.
🎯 15M chart = Execution. Confirmation candles, entry models, stop placement.
The mistake? Jumping timeframes randomly. You need top-down flow.
Daily tells you the story. 4H shows you the setup. 1H refines it. 15M executes it.
No guessing. No FOMO. Just structure.
This is how you stay consistent in a market that punishes randomness.
