I always trade one time frame and look for entry with some way to confirm my thinking or logic. If I see a entry potential and cant find a solid confirmation, then I drop a time frame for that confirmation. Almost always a confirmation will show up on both time frames.

So pick on, 30min, 60 min....doesnt matter...I use one or both as entry and or bias.

Hi Doji,

As you present it, it seems that you don't even look at M60 for your analysis, at least in this case, and trade from M15 with confirmation on M5. Is that correct?

One more point. I feel personally, more than two time frames and your beating yourself up.... They start to confuse and conflict in real time.

Another stacking example...

Broken zline, (blue line) entry for me.
Confirmed by MACD cross shortly after.

Love these trades!

Waiting for this

Aim is to build a position short from the high extreme (see daily/weekly chart) which is 100 pips away.
100 pips I can't afford so need to build space on the smaller charts to be able to move P further away and then stay in the the (hopfull) ride.

Why do you say that? You analisys was correct. It traveled from short z to long z. It s just, that sometimes you will not get that pullback to enter from.
