🔍 Trader Mistake 101: Getting Lost in Lower Timeframes
One of the biggest mistakes traders make?
They obsess over the lower timeframes — 1H, 15M, even 5-minute charts.
📉 One red candle and suddenly, “Bears are in control!”
📈 One green candle and here come the “Pump incoming!” tweets.
This is emotional flip-flopping at its worst.
Traders burn through capital chasing noise, not structure.
They trade when it's NOT time to trade.

🧠 So, what should you be doing instead?
✅ Focus on the High Timeframe (HTF) — daily, 4H, weekly.
✅ Let the HTF dictate your directional bias.
✅ Only then use LTFs (like 1H) to find entry setups in the direction of the main trend.

📸 Imagine this:
• Chart #1: People trying to look smart — calling moves up, down, up, down all day long. Confused and broke.
• Chart #2: The HTF trend. It’s flat or trending steadily. Nothing’s changed.
See the problem?

🎯 Key Lesson:
📌 HTF tells the story.
📌 LTF tells the noise.
If HTF is bullish — ride the trend.
If it flips bearish — adjust.
Until then, stop changing your bias every candle.
🔥 Reduce the noise. Increase your clarity.
