Multiple timeframe analysis (MTFA) means checking higher timeframes for bias, then lower timeframes for entries.

Example workflow:

  1. Daily — identify main trend and key support/resistance.
  2. H4 — find pullback or consolidation aligned with daily bias.
  3. H1 or M15 — time entry with clearer risk (stop placement).
Daily bias→H4 structure→Entry TF

Trading against the higher-timeframe trend is possible but usually lower probability for beginners.
