There will be times when the trend is not clear on the time frame you are trading. This
is when you need to use the “higher -time-frame” method. These time frames and their
correlation are what I suggest you use to capture the most current underlying trend.

Look for entry opportunities that correspond to entries on several time frames. This way,
you may have many traders getting in and fueling a significant trend.

No matter what time frame you are trading, this technique can be used. If you’re a day
trader, swing- trader, or an investor, you can use this trading technique. Significant
trends involve traders and investors from many time frames trading in the same market
direction.

NOTE: Some traders may be looking for a more significant trend. In this case, move two
time frames out.
