🔥When you truly study candlesticks, you will understand how to earn the first 1 million U.
Why do we need to look at 4-hour, 1-hour, and 15-minute candlesticks simultaneously?
Many people repeatedly fall into traps because they only focus on one time frame.
Today I will share the multi-timeframe candlestick trading method that I have been using, which requires just three steps to help you determine direction, find positions, and seize opportunities.
1. 4-hour candlestick: Decides the major direction, whether to go long or short
This time frame is long enough to filter out short-term noise and see the essence of the trend.
Uptrend: Highs and lows gradually rise → Only buy on pullbacks
Downtrend: Highs and lows move down together → Only sell on rebounds
Sideways consolidation: Prices fluctuate within a range → Reduce trading, as it’s easy to get caught on both sides
Core point: Only trade with the trend for a higher win rate; trading against the trend is just giving away money.
2. 1-hour candlestick: Define ranges, find key positions
Once the trend is confirmed, use the 1-hour chart to locate support and resistance.
Support area: Near trend lines, moving averages, and previous lows → Potential entry points
Resistance area: Close to previous highs, pattern tops, and important resistance levels → Consider taking profits or reducing positions
3. 15-minute candlestick: Responsible only for “entry timing”
The short time frame is not used to look at trends, but only to execute the final entry action.
Wait for signals: Look for reversal patterns (such as engulfing, divergence, golden cross) at key positions
Check volume: Only reliable when there is a breakout with volume; a price increase without volume is often a trap
How to use multiple time frames together?
First determine direction: Use the 4-hour chart to judge whether to go long or short
Then find areas: Use the 1-hour chart to define support/resistance ranges
Finally enter: Use the 15-minute chart to wait for clear signals before acting
⚠️ Key reminders
If the directions of different time frames conflict, it’s better to stay out of the market and not force trades
Short time frames have fast fluctuations, so always use stop-losses to avoid repeated getting stopped out
Direction + Position + Timing, the combination of these three is effective trading, rather than guessing based on feelings.
I have been using this method for over three years, and it is the foundation for stable output. Whether you can use it well depends on your willingness to reflect, summarize, and execute.
