Top-5 tips for Top-Down Multiple Time Frame Analysis Trading I am trading multiple time frame analysis for many years. After reviewing trading ideas from various traders on Tradingview, I noticed that many traders are applying that incorrectly In this article, I will share with you 5 essential tips , that will help you improve your multiple time frame analysis and top-down trading. The Order of Analysis Matters Multiple time frame analysis is also called top-down analysis for a reason. When you trade with that, you should strictly start your analysis with higher time frames and then dive lower, investigating shorter-term time frames. Unfortunately, most of the traders do the opposite . They start from a lower time frame and finish on a higher one. Above are 3 time frames of EURGBP pair: daily, 4h, 1h. To execute multiple time frames analysis properly, start with a daily, then check a 4h and only then the hourly time frame. Limit the Number of Time Frames Executing multiple time frame analysis, many traders analyse a lot of time frames. They may start from a weekly and finish on 5 minute time frame, going through 5-8 time frames. Remember that is it completely wrong . For execution of a multiple time frame analysis, it is more than enough to analyse 3 or even 2 time frames. Adding more time frames will overwhelm your analysis and make it too complex. Analyse Particular Time Frames Your multiple time frame analysis should be consistent and rule-based. It means that you should strictly define the time frames that you analyse. For example, for day trading, my main trading time frames are daily, 4h, 1h. I consistently analyse ONLY these trading time frames and I look for day trades only analysing this combination of time frames. Higher is the time frame, stronger the signal it provides Trading with multiple time frame analysis, very often you will encounter controversial signals: you may see a very bullish pattern on a daily and a very bearish confirmation on 30 minutes time frame. Always remember that the higher time frames confirmations are always stronger , and their accuracy and probability is always higher. Above there are 2 patterns: a head and shoulders pattern on a daily time frame with a confirmed neckline breakout, and an inverted head and shoulders pattern on a 4h time frame with a confirmed neckline breakout. 2 patterns give 2 controversial signals: the pattern on a daily is very bullish and the pattern on a 4h is very bearish. The signal on a daily time frame will be always stronger , so it is reasonable to be on a bearish side here. You can see that the price dropped after a retest of a neckline of a head and shoulders on a daily, completely neglecting a bullish pattern on a 4H. Each Time Frame Should Have Its Purpose You should analyse any particular time frame for a reason. You should know exactly what you are looking for there and what is the purpose of your analysis. For example, for day trading, I analyse 3 time frames. On a daily, I analyse the market trend and key levels. On a 4H time frame, I analyse candlesticks. On an hourly time frame, I look for a price action pattern as a confirmation. On GBPAUD on a daily, I see a test of a key horizontal resistance. On a 4H time frame, the price formed a doji candle. On an hourly, I spotted a double top, giving me a bearish confirmation. These trading tips will increase the accuracy of your multiple time frame analysis. Study them carefully and adopt them in your trading. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️ I am part of Trade Nation's Influencer program and receive a monthly fee for using their TradingView charts in my analysis.

Top-Down Analysis Strategy: How I Open and Manage TradesLearn how I use top-down analysis from senior to junior timeframes to find high-probability entry points and confidently follow through on trades. On the weekly chart, I identify point A and the presumed point B — this is my idea. Then, gradually shifting through the timeframes, I need to confirm this idea. I get confirmation when volume appears on the chart. On the daily chart, I note the formation of a new trading range, which arises as a result of the interaction of the price with the key level. I determine the POI in the form of a daily FVG — my idea is confirmed, and the price is ready to move towards point B. I also note the daily SNR as a potential zone of interest. If the price reacts to the SNR, it will mean that I am working in a strong trend. If the reaction occurs on the FVG, the movement simply continues along the trend. If you are interested in the topic of working in ranges, write in the comments — I will definitely cover it. As a result of the daily SNR test, the price confirms the presence of volume through the formation of a 4-hour True SNR. You can open a position from it with a limit order with a target beyond point B and fix the risk/profit ratio at 1:2. If you found this article interesting and my method useful, I would appreciate your support — please like, share, and help promote this article so that it reaches more traders.

GBPJPY - Top Down Analysis== IN SUMMARY == Basically just waiting for the PCE report from the US to be released. As of recently the US has been continuing to show signs of economic improvement including yesterday's GDP, Initial Jobless Claims and the early PCE report. If today's report shows inflation still hot, I'm expecting the Yen to strengthen, US equities to decline and the British Pound to also decline. Furthermore, Trump did announce yesterday a 100% tariff on branded pharmaceutical imports, effective October 1, which could add further inflationary pressure and weigh on global risk assets like equities while bolstering the USD in the short term. This move, part of his broader tariff escalation, risks amplifying supply chain disruptions but aligns with the resilient US data we've seen—Q2 GDP revised up to 3.8% annualized growth (from 3.3%), driven by strong consumer spending and a narrowing trade deficit. Initial Jobless Claims also dropped sharply to 218K for the week ending September 20, signaling a tight labor market and low layoff risks.

USD/JPY - Forecast 🕰 Weekly View Price is ranging under 148–150 weekly resistance while holding above the 142–144 weekly demand zone. If demand continues to hold, we could see a push back toward the 156–158 target. A clean break below 142 would invalidate this outlook. 📉 Daily Structure Major Resistance: 148–150 supply block Major Support: 142–144 demand zone Price is coiling between mid-range weak support and overhead resistance, building liquidity for the next move. ⏱ 8H Breakdown On the 8H, price is capped under the descending trendline. Refined demand sits around 144–145. A sweep into this level could fuel the next bullish continuation. Breakout above 150 opens the road directly into 156–158. 🔎 Outlook Short-term pullback still possible → but overall structure favors a mid-term bullish continuation targeting 156–158. Bias: Short-term pullback → mid-term bullish.

One of the basic concept of trading: Parts of candlestick -The body -The bottom wick -The upper wick Generally speaking, waiting for body closure above or below certain levels gives higher probability of a certain move to continue. But it depends also on the timeframe you are considering: -The 5m-15m body closure optimal for lower timeframe -The 1h-4h body closure optimal for higher timeframe -Etc...
