You are confusing the matter.
The idea is to look and SEE what the HORIZONTAL LINES are telling you.
Are there a lot of highs and/or lows that closed near one of the lines?
Are most of the bars above or below one of the lines?
Answer questions like those and you will be able to SEE better.
Is the trade restricted to just D1?
How many times must I say:
PRICE IS THE SAME ON ALL CHARTS?
You are not trading charts, you are trading price!!
After you enter a trade, it doesn't matter what chart you look at, PRICE IS THE SAME!!
If you are up 10 pips on M5 then you are up 10 pips on D1.
If you are down 20 pips on D1 then you are down 20 pips on H1.
PRICE IS PRICE!!
