when you change timeframes then the sweetspot for that specific timeframe will appear on the chart. if you want to have the h1 time frame on the m5 then you would just use the h1 template posted earlier in the thread or delete the extra sweetspots from the template i posted.

Atheer I'm reading the thread from page 1 and I have a question. What do you use to determine the trend direction? I'e seen a couple of your posts where you say that there is a level of support but there is a strong downtrend so you rethink going long even if there' a signal. Do you use the daily to determine overall trend direction?
Trend is always relative to time frame............you may have an uptrend on weekly or monthly while on the daily the price is moving down...........or you may have a downtrend on daily while the hourly is moving up.............so to trade successfully you have to decide what type of trader you are? the most important part for how long you will hold your trade in terms of time or in terms of pips gain..............
This system first concern is entering a low risk trade.............so first take care of the risk ...............this system gives a way to enter the market where your risk should not be more than 10-20 pips in any way.........
For me to determine the trend is easy buy looking at the chart..........I do not use any moving average because it will be late to the game..........I just follow price day by day.........and remember that no trend can continue forever...........A good way is to let the market tell you..........simply by entering good levels.........then scaling out of the position............when you enter a trade for example for a good R.............then yes you made 50 pips on the 1st part then price returned to your BE level on the 2nd part you must scratch your head.........aha am I trading the wrong direction..........
So my advice try to be on the right side try to look for higher time frames trend...........the most clear one is the daily...........pick important levels from that frame ...........to enter at lower time frames

In summery take care of the risk and profit will take care of itself

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. Even when you'e trading H1 and M1 do you still look at daily for overall trend direction or just for key S/R levels?

I've been reading more and more of the thread and there's a lot of solid information from great traders. I just got approved from my job to work from home so I'm hoping to join everyone haha.

Yes daily where to look for overall trend direction.............but do not forget to look at all time frames...............think of time frames as mechanical watch wheels every one is important ..............

If you read daily price action when hitting around 112 S...........at 6th,14th,15th of December and lastly at 2nd of January..............you will conclude that bulls are getting weaker and weaker ...............at least at this level.............so even if price break 112.40 it is no longer that bullish

Care to elaborate on what makes the bulls weak on those days? Is it the long top wicks mixed with price rising and dropping creating two lower highs?

I think picking the right S/R levels is the most difficult part of it all, at least for me.
