138
Want to level up your trading decisions? Mastering Multi-Time Frame Analysis helps you see the market more clearly and align your trades with the bigger picture.

Here’s how to break it down:

🔹 What is MTF Analysis?
It’s the process of analyzing a chart using different time frames to understand market direction and behavior more clearly.
👉 Example: You spot a trade setup on the 15m chart, but you confirm trend and structure using the 1H and Daily charts.

🔹 Why Use It?
✅ Avoids tunnel vision
✅ Aligns your trades with the larger trend
✅ Confirms or filters out weak setups
✅ Helps you find strong support/resistance zones across time frames

🔹 The 3-Level MTF Framework
Use this to structure your chart analysis effectively:

Higher Time Frame (HTF) → Trend Direction & Key Levels
📅 (e.g., Daily or Weekly)

Mid Time Frame (MTF) → Structure & Confirmation
🕐 (e.g., 4H or 1H)

Lower Time Frame (LTF) → Entry Timing
⏱ (e.g., 15m or 5m)

🚀 If you’re not using MTF analysis, you might be missing critical market signals. Start implementing it into your strategy and notice the clarity it brings.
