[The secret to using multiple timeframes like a pro trader]

I’ll be honest.

I didn’t figure it out on my own.

Instead, I learned it from Adam Grimes and Alexander Elder.

So here’s the “secret”….

When you trade with multiple timeframes, your higher timeframe should be between a factor of 4 to 6 of your entry timeframe.

Confused?

No worries, I’ll explain…

Let’s say for example your trading timeframe is the 1-hour timeframe.

So, which should you reference as your higher timeframe?

1. Take 1-hour multiply by 4, you get a 4-hour timeframe
2. Then, take 1-hour multiply by 6, you get a 6-hour timeframe

This means your higher timeframe can be between 4 and 6-hour

Does it make sense?

Here’s another example:

Let’s say your trading timeframe is the 5-mins timeframe.

Which should you reference as your higher timeframe?

1. Take the 5-mins multiply by 4, you get 20-mins
2. Then, take 5-mins multiply by 6, you get 30-mins

This means your higher timeframe can be between 20 and 30mins
