Understanding Higher Time Frame Key Levels
Importance of Higher Time Frame Key Levels
- Utilizing higher time frame key levels to validate CRT (Consolidation Range Trading) highs and lows can significantly increase win rates.
- Key levels should be derived from appropriate higher time frames; for instance, if analyzing a 1-hour chart, avoid referencing monthly charts.
The Division by Four Rule
- The "divide by four" rule is crucial: if a key level originates from the 1-hour chart, the corresponding CRT will form on the 15-minute chart.
- This principle applies across various time frames:
- Daily charts relate to weekly,
- Weekly charts relate to monthly,
- Monthly charts relate to yearly.
Identifying High Probability Trades
- Explosive price movements are desired when key levels are reached; stagnant price action at these levels is unfavorable.
- Always remember the division by four rule for effective trading strategies across different time frames.
Applying Key Levels in CRT
Example of Effective CRT Setup
- A practical example shows a key level from an hourly chart impacting a lower time frame (15-minute), leading to high probability trades.
- Successful trades were executed as prices closed above key levels, indicating strong bullish momentum towards the CRT high.
Entry Strategies Using Lower Time Frames
- When identifying entries based on a CRT formed on a 15-minute chart, switch to a 1-minute chart for precise entry points.
- Observing changes in state delivery validates order blocks; this involves recognizing thick down-close candles that touch both key levels and CRT lows.
High Probability Trade Setups with Key Levels
Analyzing Different Time Frames
- A scenario illustrates how having higher time frame key levels below or above the CRT enhances trade success probabilities.
- Targeting opposing ends of ranges becomes feasible when understanding that if the CRT is on an hourly basis, relevant key levels come from the 4-hour chart.
Final Thoughts on Order Blocks and Entries
- Successful execution of trades relies heavily on utilizing proper key levels; random setups often lead to failure.
- For entries derived from an hourly CRT range, utilize a five-minute chart while looking for order blocks that indicate potential long positions.
