One of the most overlooked and underrated Forex strategies is manipulating time frames. Yet it’s very simple to use but a powerful strategy. Traders who use this technique say that it’s like looking into the future of the market. You can predict the trends with a great accuracy using this method.
The way you use it is applying your other strategies on different timeframes. So for example, if you use a simple moving average indicator and say that if there are more than two candles above or below the line after an intersection, makret is changing direction and you can go short or long.
But if you take a look at other time frames you may find that in a lower timeframe the trend keeps turning around – the market is unstable. Or on the higher timeframe, it is in the middle of an oposite trend. In any case, if and only if all timeframes indicated the same trend (except the lowest ones, such as 1 minute, 5, or 15 minute timeframes which are very volatile), you have the highest certainty.
It’s a very good and safe strategy to consider.
