The 8th year in the crypto world, let me speak the truth:
I once stared at the 1-minute chart every day, my eyes strained, my heart racing, buying and selling all by feeling. Until later, an experienced trader woke me up with a single sentence:
"It's not that you can't trade; it's that you're looking at the problem too closely."
Since then, I've started to change my rhythm—using multiple timeframes in combination is the only real way to have a stable system. Today, I’m sharing this method I've used for 6 years with brothers who are willing to listen.
Step 1: Look at the 15-minute chart—seize the opportunity!
Don't laugh, the short timeframe is your crucial step.
We don’t use it to see the trend, just to judge the timing of entry:
When we reach a key position and see signals like bullish divergence, engulfing, hammer candlestick, or golden cross, that's when we can take action.
At the same time, observe the trading volume; a breakout with volume is effective, without volume it’s just false moves.
In a nutshell: the short timeframe gives signals; without signals, it’s better not to enter.
Step 2: Look at the 1-hour chart to set positions!
Even if the direction is right, if the position isn’t set properly, it’s easy to get stopped out.
The 1-hour chart is used to identify support and resistance:
Trend lines, moving averages, previous highs and lows are all key reference points.
Approaching support, wait for confirmation signals to go long; approaching resistance, wait for confirmation signals to go short.
We use the 1-hour to avoid chasing highs and selling lows.
If the position isn’t right, don’t act, just wait.
Step 3: Look at the 4-hour chart to lock in the big direction!
This is the core anchor of the whole system.
Trends are like a river; no matter how good your skills are, operating against the current is futile.
When highs and lows are rising together: obviously bullish, go long with the trend.
When highs and lows are falling together: bearish structure, look for short on rebounds.
When moving sideways: easily shaken out, observe more and act less.
Remember this: It's better to miss out than to go against the trend.
How to combine multiple timeframes? Simple three-step method: first look at the 4-hour to set direction, then look at the 1-hour to set positions, and finally the 15-minute to find entry signals.
Here are some practical experiences for you: when there are conflicting timeframes, the best choice is not to act; short timeframes have quick entries and exits, and always carry stop losses. Look at the charts more, summarize more; those who don’t act are just wasting their learning.
This "direction + position + timing" three-in-one system isn’t just talk; I survived relying on it. If you want stability, first get the system running smoothly.
