# Multi-Timeframe

## Multi-Timeframe — Trader's Guide (EN)

> A trader who only watches one timeframe is a **passive trader**. A trader who reads several is an **active trader**. Premium gives you two MTF tools: the **RSI table** and the **Advanced LTF mode**.

***

### 1. The Multi-Timeframe RSI table (right side)

#### Table layout

| Col 1          | Col 2                                  |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Timeframe      | RSI value (▲ if > 50, ▼ if < 50)       |
| Current TF     | RSI on the chart TF                    |
| One step up    | RSI on a higher TF                     |
| Two steps up   | RSI on a yet higher TF                 |
| Three steps up | The highest TF you care about          |
| ...            | ...                                    |
| **80 ▲**       | Estimated price when chart RSI hits 80 |
| **20 ▼**       | Estimated price when chart RSI hits 20 |

#### Auto-selected timeframes

The table picks TFs based on your chart TF:

| Chart TF  | Table shows         |
| --------- | ------------------- |
| Seconds   | 1m, 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H |
| 1m – 4m   | 5m, 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D |
| 5m – 14m  | 15m, 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W |
| 15m – 59m | 1H, 4H, 1D, 1W      |
| 1H – 3H   | 4H, 1D, 1W          |
| 4H – 23H  | 1D, 1W              |
| 1D – 1W   | 1W                  |

> **The point**: you always see a smaller TF (timing) and a larger TF (bias) the moment you open the chart.

***

### 2. Reading the MTF table in 5 seconds

#### Every TF aligned (all ▲ or all ▼)

> **Clean trend** — no conflict.

* 5 TFs all ▲ → multi-TF uptrend → **only hunt BUY setups**.
* 5 TFs all ▼ → multi-TF downtrend → **only hunt SELL setups**.

#### Lower TF against higher TF

> Two cases:

**Case A — Higher TF ▲, lower TF ▼**:

* Likely a pullback inside an uptrend → **buy-pullback opportunity** when the lower TF flips back to ▲.
* Wait for a BUY signal on your trade TF.

**Case B — Higher TF ▼, lower TF ▲**:

* Likely a bounce inside a downtrend → **sell-pullback opportunity** when the lower TF flips back to ▼.
* Wait for a SELL signal on your trade TF.

#### Mixed soup

> **Sideways / undefined** — stand aside.

* 2 TFs ▲, 2 TFs ▼, 1 TF near 50 → **market is undecided**.
* The indicator may still fire signals but win rate is poor → **skip**.

***

### 3. Cell background color

#### Each cell has a tinted background

* **Light green** = RSI > 50 (▲)
* **Light red** = RSI < 50 (▼)

#### Quick scan

* Sweep across: **all green** or **all red** → high confluence.
* **Alternating** colors → warning, read context carefully before trading.

***

### 4. Price-target lines (80 ▲ / 20 ▼)

#### Meaning

* **80 ▲**: If chart RSI rises to 80, **price could reach this level**.
* **20 ▼**: If chart RSI falls to 20, **price could reach this level**.

#### Important caveats

* These are **dynamic estimates** — they shift each new bar.
* Don't use as **hard TP** — only as a reference.
* Most useful when RSI is in the 30–70 range (not yet at extremes).

#### Practical use

* Long position with RSI near 70 → glance at **80 ▲** for upside potential.
* Short position with RSI near 30 → glance at **20 ▼** for downside.
* When price approaches the target → **close 50–70%**, trail the rest.

***

### 5. Advanced Multi-Timeframe mode

> Premium's "premium feature". Few use it correctly.

#### What it does

* BUY ADV / SELL ADV signals only fire when:
  1. The chart TF already meets Buy / Sell Hidden conditions, **AND**
  2. The **lower TF** (your selection) is also in a same-direction trend.
* Result: **very few signals, much higher win rate**.

#### When to use it

* ✅ Higher-TF traders (1H, 4H, 1D) — need lower-TF timing confirmation.
* ✅ Traders who only want **A+ setups** — skip every average signal.
* ✅ Larger accounts — low risk per trade, hard filtering required.

#### When NOT to use it

* ❌ 1m–5m scalpers — lower TFs lose meaning.
* ❌ Small accounts — waiting only for A+ may mean weeks without a trade.
* ❌ Beginners — start with Current Timeframe mode first.

#### How to enable

1. Open Settings → group **RSI Pullback Signals advanced**.
2. Switch `Signal Mode` from "Current Timeframe" → **"Advanced Multi-Timeframe"**.
3. Pick a timeframe (just below) **lower** than your chart TF.

#### Recommended pairings

| Chart TF | Recommended Advanced TF |
| -------- | ----------------------- |
| 1D       | 1H or 4H                |
| 4H       | 15m or 1H               |
| 1H       | 5m or 15m               |
| 15m      | 3m or 5m                |
| 5m       | 1m                      |

### 6. The ⚠️ warning in the MTF table

#### When it appears

* You enabled Advanced Multi-Timeframe mode, **but** picked a timeframe **higher than or equal to** the chart TF → the MTF table prints:

> ⚠️ "Select a lower timeframe for analysis"

#### Why it warns

* Advanced logic requires the lower TF (timing) to **confirm** the higher TF (context).
* Reversing this delays signals or breaks the logic → trades that lose for no good reason.

#### How to fix

1. Change the TF in the Advanced setting → pick a smaller one.
2. Or switch back to "Current Timeframe" mode if no smaller TF fits.

***

### 7. Standard MTF workflow

#### Step 1 — Open chart, glance at MTF table

* All TFs aligned → bias is clear.
* Mixed → stand aside.

#### Step 2 — Pick your trade TF

* Day trader: 15m–1H.
* Swing trader: 4H–1D.
* Scalper: 5m–15m.

#### Step 3 — Confirm the next-higher TF

* Trading 1H? Check 4H. 4H aligned → OK.
* Trading 4H? Check 1D. 1D aligned → OK.

#### Step 4 — Wait for a signal on your trade TF

* Trade TF fires ▲+ or Buy Hidden / SELL ADV → enter.
* Trade TF fires opposite the higher TF → **skip**.

#### Step 5 — Manage by the higher TF

* Higher TF still aligned → hold and trail SL.
* Higher TF **flipped direction** → close 50–100%, no greed.

### 8. Advanced MTF alerts

#### Setting `Signals Alerts Type` = "Buy/Sell Pullback Advanced"

Will only alert when BUY ADV / SELL ADV fires (very rare but A+).

#### Setting `Signals Alerts Type` = "All"

Alerts every signal type — gets very noisy if you watchlist many symbols. **Recommended filter**: pick `Buy/Sell Pullback` for your main trade TF, and `Buy/Sell Pullback Advanced` for swing TF.

Full alert details in **ALERTS\_GUIDE\_EN.md**.

### 9. FAQ

#### Q: MTF table not showing. Why?

**A:** Check that `RSI Multi Timeframe` is enabled in Settings → group **General settings**.

#### Q: The 80 / 20 price targets are way off!

**A:** They're dynamic estimates. When price moves fast, the targets "chase" along. Most useful when price is steady, not during spikes.

#### Q: I want to see more than 5 timeframes.

**A:** The table caps at 5 TFs to stay readable. If you need more, open another indicator instance (same symbol, different TF) or use a split layout.

#### Q: Advanced mode gives too few signals — I want more.

**A:** Switch back to "Current Timeframe" — that's the standard signal set. Use Advanced only when you want maximum filtering.

#### Q: Can I disable just the price-target lines?

**A:** They're embedded in the MTF table. Disabling the table also disables the lines. No separate toggle currently.
