Watch This If You Find Yourself Getting Lost In Lower Timeframe Noise When Trading

Hey, if you've ever been in a situation where, let's say you're very clear on your higher time frame direction, you've knocked out your key levels. And for some reason the moment you go into the lower time frames and like every little move just causes you to change your bias and you just get completely lost in the noise. You start ping ponging around. Like, you start taking along when the lower time frame says long. You start taking a short when the lower time free starts breaking down. When in reality, the whole time you had a clear idea of like, where Price is ultimately going to go, but then just, you get lost in the lower time frame noise. So if you've been in a situation like that, this video is probably going to help you. So this was inspired by, like, I just did a backtest review for one of our clients here in Bootcamp. Basically, in here, like, we get everyone to review, like, to basically just backtest live, and I'll be the one to personally go through the backtest and like, hey, this is what you're doing right, this is what you're doing wrong, and stuff like that. So one of the things I noticed with I'm going to. One of the things I noticed with a is granted this is his first ever backtest review, so he's bound to make some, you know, slightly more rookie mistakes is that he had a situation where, for example, the daily timeframe is bullish. He marked out. Marked it out already on the hourly timeframe. He's marked out the fair value gaps and order blocks that he wanted to take advantage of when Price gets there. But the moment he hops down into the five minute boom, Price breaks structure towards the downside and then, oh, my God. Damn. This is, this is looking bullish. Sorry, this is looking bearish now. So he ends up taking a short and it loses almost immediately just for Price to completely reverse in the other direction and go in the way that he already anticipated. Like, he already was able to read the higher traffic stuff. It's just the moment he went into the lower timeframes, he got lost in the noise. So what do you do in this situation? Well, the advice that I gave him was two things. One, always let your higher time frame be the guide in the sense that you know how you've heard the saying before, the higher the time frame, the stronger the move or, like, the more conviction that you should have with the movement. And that is generally true, although not for the reasons that people tend to say, I'm not going to get into that for now, but just understand that if your system has, you know, anywhere between two to three time frames, whatever the direction, right? Use your higher time frame for direction, which means let's say you are trading on the H4 and the H1. So if the H4 tells you that it's bullish, and if you're anticipating H4 to be bullish, you're going to disregard any bearish moves that happen on the one hour chart because your higher halfing is pointing up, right? Let it be the guide, let it be the compass. And so you understand that whatever moves that go down from, you know, the one hourly is just a opportunity for you to buy lower or like take advantage of some kind of downside manipulation so then you can ride the higher time frame move up. Now, you see this a lot with a lot of the daily videos I've done where prior to like, I'd say if I'm bullish for the day, you get a lot of like bearish moves to trick people into thinking like, hey, you know, the market's going to go down, but in reality it eventually shoots straight out on a certain session. Why is that the case? It's because the higher time frame tells you direction you always want to take. The higher time frame is direction. So I'm going to run you through just a little concept here. Bear with me. This is not the most ideal, this is not the most ideal situation for you to be drawing. But essentially if you are bullish for the day, let's say like this is where price opens up. What you're going to want to look for is for price to actually sweep below, right, in a false move before ultimately expanding to the upside. And I'm using this from a daily perspective, but you can apply this to any time frame. Essentially what this means is that that initial move, if you get a fake out towards the outside, you don't want to be tracked into that lower time frame noise. As long as your higher time frame tells you that, hey, it's going to be a bullish day, this is actually an opportunity for you to take advantage of buying low and then selling high. And of course, like, I think one of the other reasons why, and of course, like, feel free to just apply that to the bearish direction. If you're bearish, obviously take the opportunity to buy high. Sorry, sell high and then, you know, allow people to buy lower. That's how you make money. And the second piece of advice is a lot of the times, and this is going to kind of back, back to the first piece of advice, which is not reasoning from the bottom up. Again, I've already kind of taught you that, you know, you want to let the higher type into your guide. But more than that, another issue that he made was he had a lot of theories about how the lower time frame was going to play out. So for example, based on how the Asia session was playing out, the London session was playing out, he was like, okay, this is definitely going to be a amd. And in getting caught up with the lower time frame moves, he just completely lost sight of the fact that our time frame was bullish. And so this is a prime example of a situation where he was trading what he thought was going to happen rather than what the market is actually showing. And this is oftentimes easier said than done. But you just want to keep in mind the way you kind of like mitigate this issue completely is just use the higher time frame as your bind. Usually what we do inside Bootcamp, or at least the way that I teach the system, which, you know, a lot of people have found success with, is you want to have three high frames, you want to have a higher time frame. In my case, it's the daily shot. You've seen this in the videos and you have a middle time frame, which is the one hour and the lower time frame, which is the M5. So the daily chart is purely but your higher time frame, that's purely just for direction, meaning whether today's price is going to more is going to be more likely to go up or down. That's it. That's the entire context of that time frame. Your H1 is where you find key levels that align with your higher time frame direction. Meaning if your daily is bullish, you use the middle time frame to find bullish PD rays, meaning fairly gaps, order blocks, or even liquidity sweeps that you can take advantage of in line with the higher time frame direction. It also means that if my higher time frame is bullish, I am not looking for bearish PDO arrays or bearish key levels on my middle time frame. Just bullish. Because again, you want to let the higher time frame be your guide. You want to let that be your compass that should determine everything else that you do that trickles down. Right? This is called top down analysis. And then your M5 is used for, for when price eventually gets into the key levels that you've marked out on your one hourly chart and you hop into the lower time frame and you start looking for. Let's say if your overall direction is bullish, with a bullish context so far. Then you wait for the five minute chart to show some kind of bullish change structure, changing order, flow, whatever it might be. Once that happens, you're going to be getting into trades where everything is aligned and doing so will help you prevent all of the confusion. But if you keep finding that, you get lost in the noise. Utilize this and I think you're going to find great success. Let me know if this helps in the comment section down below. And yeah, I'm going to get back to doing more backtest reviews because I've got a few have to go through today.
