# One of the common mistakes that most traders make is that they pay too much attention to what is happening on lower time frames like 1 hour, or some even use 15-minute charts, and they change their perspective with every red or green candle. A red candle makes sellers start to shout for a price drop, and a green candle makes buyers start to shout for a price increase.

This is the kind of price action where people lose a large part of the money they have earned. They trade when it is not the right time to trade.

What should you do instead?

The solution is very simple, just pay attention to what the higher time frame is doing and use that perspective for your lower time frame setups. Look at the attached pictures.

The first picture is of the chart guys trying to look cool by calling a move up, down, up and down multiple times in a day/week.

And the second picture is what the HTF is actually doing. There really is nothing, right?

Instead of wasting time on these 1 hour and 15-minute charts and changing your PERSPECTIVE multiple times a day. Pay attention to the HTF only when the trend is up, hold it unless it changes, and if the trend is down, go with it unless it changes.

Reduce the noise..!
