How to Do Multiple Time Frame Analysis to Find Better Entry
and Exit Points (Part 2)
You have to remember, a trend on a longer time frame has had
more time to develop, which means that it will take a bigger market move for
the pair to change course. Also, support and resistance levels are more
significant on longer time frames.
Start off by selecting your preferred time frame and then go
up to the next higher time frame.
There you can make a strategic decision to go long or short
based on whether the market is ranging or trending. You would then return to
your preferred time frame (or even lower!) to make tactical decisions about
where to enter and exit (place stop and profit target).
Just so you know, this is probably one of the best uses of
multiple time frame analysis – you can zoom in to help you find better entry
and exit points. By adding the dimension of time to your analysis, you can
obtain an edge over the other tunnel vision traders who trade off on only one
time frame.
Did you get all of that? Well, if you didn’t, no worries –
we’re gonna go through an example now to help make things a little clearer.

things we desire, not things we fear."

No, we aren’t about
to break out into song like the Glee cast.
Here at
BabyPips.com, we’ve got our version of a mash-up, which we like to call the
“Time Frame Mash-up”.
This is where
multiple time frame analysis comes in to play.
This is where we’ll
teach you how to not only lock in on your preferred trading time frame, but
zoom in and out of charts so that you can knock a winner out of the park.
You ready? You sure
you can hack this? You’ve basically got a semester left of BabyPips.com High
School of Pipsology?
You don’t wanna
quit now do you?
Didn’t think so!
First of all, take
a broad look at what’s happening.
Don’t try to get
your face closer to the market, but push yourself further away.

Why You Should Look at Multiple Time Frames When Trading
Forex (Part 4)
The ascending channel would have been even clearer on the
4-hour chart.
If you had looked at this chart first, would you still have
been so quick to go short when you were trading on the 10-minute chart?
All of the charts were showing the same price data. They
were just different time frames of that same data.
Check out another example of multiple time frame analysis in
our forums.
Do you see now the importance of looking at multiple time
frames?
We used to just trade off the 15-minute charts and that was
it.
We could never understand why when everything looked good
the market would suddenly stall or reverse. It never crossed our minds to take
a look at a larger time frame to see what was happening.
When the market did stall or reverse on the 15-minute chart,
it was often because it had hit support or resistance on a larger time frame.
It took a couple hundred negative pips to learn that the
larger the time frame, the more likely an important support or resistance
levels would hold.
Trading using multiple time frames has probably kept us out
of more losing trades than any other one thing alone. It will allow you to stay
in a trade longer because you’re able to identify where you are relative to the
big picture.
Most beginners look at only one time frame. They grab a
single time frame, apply their indicators and ignore other time frames.
The problem is that a new trend, coming from another time
frame, often hurts forex traders who don’t look at the big picture.

Forex (Part 3)
What the hell happened? Hmm, let’s hop on to the 1-hour
chart to see what happened…
If you had been looking at the one hour chart, you would
have noticed that the pair was actually at the bottom of the ascending channel.
What’s more, a doji had formed right smack on the support
line! A clear buy signal!

Ouch! Oh well, too
bad!
