INTRODUCTION
Timeframe Alignment

WHAT IT IS
Timeframe alignment is utilizing
timeframes in relation to where a
trade idea stems from. i.e If a trade
idea stems from timeframe A, then
we go to timeframe B to dissect it.
ALIGNMENTS

Position Trades: SIGNIFICANCE


Monthly
The significance of timeframe
Weekly/Daily alignment is that it mitigates a lot
of ‘noise’ from the market. By
Swing Trades: utilizing timeframe alignment,
each timeframe has specific roles
Daily
to play and so a trader isn’t caught
4 Hour/1 Hour up in looking at all timeframes. In
essence, the key significance of
Short Term Trades: this concept is simplicity.
4 Hour
1 Hour/15 Minute
APPLICATION
Intraday Trades: The first step to applying
1 Hour timeframe alignment is to
15 Minute/5 Minute determine what kind of trader you
are (Shown on the list to the left).

Once this is determined, it’s as


simple as 2 steps:

1. Higher Timeframe Key Level


2. Lower Timeframe Structure &
Etntries
EXAMPLE
Timeframe Alignment

STEP 1: HTF KEY LEVEL


The first step is to identify the higher timeframe key levels. In this example
we have an inefficiency (FVG) and a clear draw on liquidity (Eq Lows).

This is the HTF framework that we will be working with on the lower time
frame.

STEP 2: LTF STRUCTURE & ENTRY


The second step is to identify the structure of the lower timeframe in
relation to the higher timeframe context.

Dropping down to the Lower Timeframe we can see how understanding the
higher timeframe narrative provides all the entry models you may know. i.e
MMXM, ICT 2022 Model, Unicorn Model, Silver Bullet, etc.

Within these key areas, as price is fractal, it can be broken down even
further. i.e HTF -> LTF -> the LTF of the LTF.
