🔍 Higher Timeframe Confirmation (Important!)
Before taking a 15-minute trade, you MUST check the 1-Hour Timeframe:
1H TIMEFRAME TREND: ├─ If 1H is BULLISH → Only take 15M BUY signals ├─ If 1H is BEARISH → Only take 15M SELL signals ├─ If 1H is NEUTRAL → Can take 15M signals (smaller size) NEVER trade against the 1H trend!
Higher Timeframe Checklist:
□ 1H Chart: What is the trend? (Bullish/Bearish/Neutral) □ 1H RSI: Which zone? (Oversold/Overbought/Neutral) □ 1H Support/Resistance: Where are they? □ 1H Moving Averages: Is price above or below? □ 1H MACD: What signal is it giving? ✅ Confirm ALL before taking the 15M trade!
