Daily bias, hourly location, five-minute execution.

Intermediate 28 min read Course 20 of 60

Course 20 of 60 in the forex hub. The object is top-down FX without three conflicting trades.

Daily Bias, Hourly Location, Execution Last

Daily Bias, Hourly Location, Execution Last. The honest one-sentence object of this lesson is top-down FX without three conflicting trades. If you cannot say that without opening a platform, you will size the wrong clock. The failure mode that actually hurts accounts is HTF story, LTF size that cannot survive HTF. Write the object, then size. Educational only.

Analog, not identity: one object per ticket. This page is not a lesson in crypto pairs or listed index futures. Different machine, different hours, different ruin path. Contrast the object with futures hub rather than treating every product as the same machine.

1. Decision TF

Decision TF is the first working definition. Top-down FX without three conflicting trades. People skip this because a chart is easier than a specification. A chart is not a spec. If you cannot explain Multiple Timeframes in FX to a skeptical friend without a screenshot, you do not understand it yet.

Keep a crib note: object, invalidation, dollar cap. HTF story, LTF size that cannot survive HTF is how cribs get skipped. Do not skip. For the arithmetic habit, use risk calculator until dollars are boring.

2. Location TF

Location TF. Convert every pretty statement into dollars. The arithmetic below is illustration — live ticks, pips, and margins change. Re-read the live schedule.

Daily stop 120 pips vs $170 on a $10/pip lot is 0.xx lots. If you execute on M5 with a 12-pip stop, you changed the object. Say so.

If that arithmetic already exceeds your cap, the lesson is over: pass or step down in size. Passing is a position. Confirm the dollar translation with P&L calculator so the notebook and the statement agree.

3. Execution TF

Execution TF. Context is not a trigger. One object per ticket. Use context to veto, not to force a click.

When in doubt, name top-down FX without three conflicting trades again. If the sentence changed, you changed trades without admitting it. Related structure: free calculators.

4. Conflict rule

Conflict rule. Process beats mood. Write the rule that fires without a debate at the worst moment. If the rule is 'I'll see how I feel,' you do not have a rule.

Stops, flatten policies, and session boundaries belong in the same notebook as the thesis for Multiple Timeframes in FX. If the stop is a price, convert it with listed venues after you already know the tick or pip.

5. One notebook

One notebook. Limits: this page will age; specs, leverage caps, and dealer rules move. The live document wins. Educational only. Not NFA, tax, or a solicitation.

Re-read primary docs before you add size on the object of Multiple Timeframes in FX. See also previous lesson when the confusion is the venue layer, not the chart.

6. Mistakes, limits, takeaways

Mistakes: HTF story, LTF size that cannot survive HTF; copying size from a stream; ignoring costs; mixing this machine with crypto pairs or listed index futures. Another: treating Multiple Timeframes in FX as advanced because the vocabulary is long rather than because the dollar cap is written. If the sister asset class is the real mix-up, next lesson before you add size.

Maps go stale. One object per ticket. If this lesson and the live spec or statement disagree, the live document wins.
