"what timeframe do you trade?" "15 minute" wrong answer you don't TRADE the 15 minute you ENTER on the 15 minute you TRADE the H4 here's what most traders don't understand: the H4 candle is everything that you need it tells you: direction (bullish or bearish body) momentum (size of the candle) context (where it sits in the daily range) the 15m is just your entry tool WITHIN the H4 bias I watched a guy take 12 trades in a week 9 of them were AGAINST the H4 candle direction "but the 15m setup was clean" bro a clean 15m setup against the H4 is a high-quality way to lose money here's the framework: H4 bullish → only look for longs on LTF H4 bearish → only look for shorts on LTF H4 indecision → no trade that's it my win rate went from 48% to 61% when I added this one filter add it on the daily and the 6H and your win rate will skyrocket I wasn't getting better at entries I was getting better at SKIPPING bad ones the H4 candle isn't a "confirmation" it's permission to even look for a trade no permission = no trade
