Method
Reading higher timeframes first and working downward — daily for direction, 1H for levels, 5M for confirmation.
The order is the point. Working downward means the lower timeframe answers a question set in advance. Starting on a 5-minute chart and finding a higher-timeframe reason afterwards will always succeed, because a reason can always be found.
Also called: multi-timeframe analysis.
