When I first entered the industry, I only focused on the 15-minute K-line, thinking quick reactions would lead to quick profits. As a result, I was caught off-guard by a major market reversal, unable to even click stop-loss, and was directly educated by the market to question my life.
Later, an experienced senior reminded me:
"Looking at only one timeframe is like trying to find a forest by feeling a single leaf."
Since then, I started learning multi-timeframe synergy—judging trends from large to small, finding positions, and seizing opportunities. This 'three-timeframe survival method' has saved me countless times and helped me catch several doubling uptrends.
Three-timeframe survival method insights:
Step 1: Determine direction using 4-hour K-line.
It is a market compass that can filter out short-term noise.
Upward trend: Highs and lows are continuously rising, and pullbacks are opportunities to enter.
Downward trend: Highs and lows are continuously decreasing; rebounds are mostly traps.
Sideways fluctuation: Price range moves back and forth, frequent operations will only incur transaction fees.
Motto: Go with the trend; going against it is asking for trouble.
Step 2: Find areas using 1-hour K-line.
Once the direction is clear, use the 1-hour chart to find support and resistance.
Support level: Trend lines, moving averages, previous lows, consider entering when the price approaches.
Resistance level: Previous highs and key pressure zones forming a top pattern are signals to take profits or reduce positions.
Step 3: Use 15-minute K-line to seize opportunities.
Small timeframes do not determine trend judgments, only entry and exit points.
Pay attention to engulfing patterns, bottom divergence, golden crosses, and other signals, and confirm with increased trading volume.
Breakouts without volume are false breakouts; treat them with caution.
Multi-timeframe synergy principles.
4-hour determines direction → 1-hour finds areas → 15-minutes wait for signals.
Conflicting timeframe directions, decisively observe.
Small timeframe operations must set stop-losses.
Trends, positions, and timing are all essential.
Multi-timeframe synergy is not a show-off, but helps you gain an extra layer of confirmation in a fast-paced market, reducing impulsive actions.
Remember: The market is not afraid of you being slow, but is afraid of your blind operations.
