It emphasizes aligning directional bias with market structure on the highest time frame, then waiting for confirmation through price breaks, topping formations, overbought readings, and support/resistance behavior.

Look for topping formations on that time frame and overbought readings if you are looking to sell. Wait for price to break down on the 2 lower time frames of the 3 to support your bias.  \n In a swing trade you would be timing it on the 1 hour chart, managing it on the 4 hour chart, and the trade idea would be built upon the daily chart.  \n You should be breaking down market structure on the 3 time frames of the type of trade you are looking for  \nPosition Trades: 6 months-12 months  \nSwing Trade: 1+ week  \nShort Term Trade: 1 day-1 week Day Trades & Scalps: 1 day  \n Your focus should be on the highest of the 3 time frames.  \n Trades will be managed on the highest or middle of the 3 time frames.  \n The shortest time frame will be used to enter and signal possible reversal clues.  \n The highest probability trades are made in the higher time frame direction.  \n There may be times when the highest time frame is bullish, but you are approaching a key resistance level. The resistance level may trump the bullish bias.  \n Support & resistance trumps everything.  \n All trades are framed over key support/resistance levels.  \n Market profiles will assist in market structure analysis concepts. Trending, reversal, consolidation, etc.  \n Assume that the image below is your higher time frame:  \nOnce price bounces off expected resistance and breaks a short term low on your highest time frame, then you can start to expect an OTE to form.  \n Once that happens you want to zoom into the OTE area on the middle time frame and look for shorter term OTE signals or other sell patterns.  \n We need to be comfortable with the grey area in trading because we don't know what is going to happen from our entry point to our expected exit point.  \n We want to see what price is reaching for on our highest level time frame .  \n The image below shows a measured intermediate term move:  \nEvery day the bias is both directions, but you are looking for the bias that you are holding to line up with price action. You can't force price action to do what you want it to do.  \n Your bias should be derived from market structure on the highest time frame .  \n You are simply trying to find a bias for YOUR style of trading.  \n Simply wait for everything to line up that you like to see in a trade .  \n Keep risk low and your action level low. Don't try to trade a whole lot.  \nAnything 20 pips or greater is more than a scalp.  \n You are neither a bull or a bear for a day. You just need to be able to go into the market place and arrive at what you need to be doing at the time you trade .  \n Towards the end of the year and around the holidays you really shouldn't be that active in trading.  \n Come back to this video at least once a month while you are trading.  \n Directional bias is not that hard at all, it just requires you to be patient to see the setups that line up with the higher time frame premise .  \n There is a seasonal tendency for the markets to create a low in the summer time .  \n It's not imperative that you pick the right level, you let the market tell you the right level.  \n Market structure has reacted at an expected level of support and has broken market structure to the upside on the 1 hour chart. Note how strongly price has reacted:  \nOnce market structure is broken, you can pull the Fibonacci on the swing and set a phone alert for when price gets back down near the 62% retracement level or you could simply put a limit order down there .  \nOn top of broken market structure, there is an intermediate term low that has formed on the 1 hour chart:  \nEventually it becomes a long term low, view the illustration below to see how:  \nOnce we have a long te","cbCaiaXh4kwFMCmo","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaXh4kwFMCmo","pdf",1906610,"English","# Trading model\n## Time frames and bias alignment\n## Trade setup and confirmation\n## Risk and execution guidelines","[{\"question\":\"How should the trader set up trades using the three time frames?\",\"answer\":\"The model prioritizes the highest of the three time frames to define the trade bias, then waits for confirmation via breaks and support/resistance behavior on the lower time frames.
