Core Concepts
Multi-Timeframe Workflow
The top-down confirmation process: 4H bias → 15m/5m confirmation → 1m execution
The multi-timeframe workflow is the structured approach to confirming higher-timeframe zones through lower-timeframe order flow shifts. The 4-hour provides directional bias and key zones. The 15-minute provides the first order flow shift confirmation. The 5-minute provides the second confirmation. The 1-minute is used for precise execution via chain or flip models. Reversal settings require more confirmation (full 4H → 15m → 5m → 1m stack) because the higher timeframe direction is unconfirmed. Continuation settings need less confirmation (4H → 5m → 1m) because the trend is already established.
✓How to Recognize
- •4H: directional bias via expectation order flow + key supply/demand zones
- •15m: first CHoCH and order flow shift inside the 4H zone
- •5m: second confirmation or direct execution zone
- •1m: precise entry using chain model or flip model
⚡How to Avoid
- →Skipping the 15-minute confirmation in a reversal setting
- →Trading lower timeframes against the 4-hour direction
- →Not adapting the workflow to reversal vs continuation context
- →Executing before any mid-timeframe order flow shift is confirmed
