One of the common mistakes most traders make is that they pay way too much attention to what's happening on lower timeframes like the 1hr or even the 15min chart. They keep flip-flopping their bias on every single red or green candle. One red candle and bears start screaming "dump!" One green candle and bulls start shouting "pump!"

This is exactly the kind of price action where people lose most of their hard-earned money. They end up trading when it's not even the right time to trade.

So what should you be doing instead?

Simple — pay attention to what the high timeframe (HTF) is doing, and use that bias for your lower timeframe setups.

Check out the attached pictures:

The first one is your typical “chart boys” trying to look smart by calling up, down, up, down moves multiple times in a single day or week.

And the second one shows what HTF is actually doing — literally nothing, just ranging or moving slowly in one direction.

Instead of wasting your energy on those noisy 1hr and 15min charts and changing your bias five times a day, focus only on the HTF.

If the trend is bullish, stick to it unless it shifts.

If it’s bearish, stay with it until it changes.

Cut the noise. Simplify your trading.
