Rule-based multi-timeframe analysis (top-down)

Looking at one timeframe hides half the picture. This lecture builds a rule-based, top-down process: the higher timeframe gives direction and zones, and the lower timeframe gives a precise entry.

How Dr. Qazi teaches

Lesson notes

Three timeframes, three jobs

  1. Higher timeframe (for example D1 or H4): trend direction and the main supply and demand zones.
  2. Middle timeframe (for example H1): the setup, such as a pullback into a zone.
  3. Lower timeframe (for example M15 or M5): the entry trigger and a tight stop loss.

A ratio of about 4–6 between the timeframes keeps them connected (D1–H4–H1 or H4–H1–M15).

Rules that keep it objective

  • Trade in the direction of the higher timeframe unless your rules say otherwise.
  • Only look for entries when price is inside a higher-timeframe zone.
  • On the lower timeframe, wait for a clear trigger: a break of the small structure, or a rejection candle.
  • Set the stop loss from the lower timeframe structure and the target from the higher timeframe levels. This is what gives the better reward-to-risk.

Common mistakes

Switching timeframes until one agrees with the trade you want, and taking lower-timeframe signals against a strong higher-timeframe trend. Decide your three timeframes in advance and keep them fixed.

Khulasa (Roman Urdu / Hindi)

  • Bara timeframe: trend aur zones. Darmiyana: setup. Chhota: entry.
  • Sirf higher timeframe ke zone ke andar entry dhoondein.
  • SL chhote timeframe se, target bare timeframe se: is se RR behtar hota hai.
  • Apne 3 timeframes pehle se tay karein aur na badlein.

Areas where a strong move started, showing where large buy or sell orders were placed.
