Timeframe Alignment for High Probability Trading

The document discusses the importance of understanding timeframes in trading, categorizing them into higher, intermediate, and lower timeframes, with a focus on conducting 90% of analysis on the higher timeframe. It emphasizes the need for alignment between the higher and intermediate timeframes to ensure high probability trading, using specific combinations of timeframes for analysis. Additionally, it introduces the concept of weekly profile alignment to anticipate market manipulation and potential trading opportunities based on key levels and market structure signals.

Timeframe Alignments​

1) Timeframes​
2) Alignments​
3) High probability trading
4) Weekly profile alignment
1-Timeframes​
​
To understand top down analysis you need to understand what timeframes
there are.​
​
For simplicity sake we will group them into ​

HTF - Higher timeframe


ITF - Intermediate timeframe
LTF - Lower timeframe

90% of your analysis should be done on the HTF.​


After that your goal is to ALIGN the HTF with the ITF. ​
​
The way you do that is with my weekly profile alignment method.​
​
On the HTF you look for WHERE we’re going/direction.​
On the ITF you look for HOW we’ll get there/build a narrative.
On the LTF you look for an entry.​
​
​
​
2- Alignment

There are only 2 KEY top down approaches you need:​


1. 1W-4h-m15
2. 1D-1h-m5​
​
I don’t recommend using 4h-m15-m1 because you will start to gamble and
kill the point of using timeframe alignment by spending so much time on
m1. ​
​
Remember: HTF -> 90% OF THE FOCUS.​
​
For the 1W-4h-m5

1W is the HTF
4h is the ITF
M15 is the LTF

For the 1D-1h-m5

1D is the HTF
1H is the ITF
M5 is the LTF

The only thing you need to remember is:

HTF key level -> LTF MMXM

If we hit a key level on the daily, the H1 will have a MMXM.


If we hit a key level on the hourly, the m5 will have a MMXM.
If we hit a key level on the weekly, the h4 will have a MMXM.
If we hit a key level on the h4, the m15 will have a MMXM
3- Using Alignments in high probability trading​
​
For your trades to be high probability ITF must be aligned with the HTF.

What I mean by this is:

When we hit a HTF key level and we have a HTF draw [+you do all the
things you should do on the HTF] the ITF should have a MSS in the
direction of the HTF and show you a way we will get to that HTF target you
set.
​
4- Weekly profile alignment​
​
The best way to use alignment, other than just using the regular top down
for alignment, is combining it with weekly profiles. ​
​
Weekly profiles are simple:

Which day of the week is the manipulation going to take place, create a
low, and we expand from there.

The way I look at it is like this:

If there’s CPI for example, we expect a manipulation to take place on that


day and WAIT.​
​
CPI will manipulate and run lows/tap a HTF PD array, from there we expect
a reaction/displacement and a MSS.

The weekly profile is ONLY confirmed when we have a good candle close
on the HTF[pic1] + ITF MSS.
