The "time pyramid" strategy, which combines weekly, daily, 4-hour, and 15-minute timeframes, may be the solution many traders are looking for to balance comprehensive analysis with precise entry.
📊 The philosophy of the time pyramid: Why does this strategy work?
This strategy is based on a simple but powerful principle: "Trading with the general trend, and looking for optimal entry points within that trend."
Level 1: Strategic Summit - Weekly Framework (for Analysis)
Here you look for the main trend:
• Identifying long-term critical levels
Understanding the overall market context
Discovering great investment stories
Identifying areas that may experience strong movements
Like a commander who studies the entire map before moving, here you are setting the overall destination.
Level 2: Implementation Plan - Daily Framework (for Monitoring)
Here, the vision transforms into a plan:
Monitoring the development of the main trend
Identifying intermediate support and resistance levels
Waiting for clear technical models to form
Identifying potential areas of interest
This is the bridge of communication between long-term strategy and short-term tactics.
Level 3: Battlefield - 4-hour timeframe (for planning)
Here, preparations are underway for battle:
Searching for potential login confirmations
• Identifying initial entry and exit points
Calculating the risk-reward ratio
• Placing pending orders
Accuracy begins here, where the plan is transformed into specific actions.
Level 4: The Moment of Truth - 15-minute timeframe (for entry)
Here's where you can feel the market:
Entering the market at the best points
Accurately set stop and protection orders
• Monitoring the immediate market reaction
Managing the deal from the very first moment
Entering like a surgeon, with precision and extreme care.
