#美联储恢复降息进程 Many people lose money not because they don't understand the market, but because they are too fragmented in their view—focusing on 5-minute charts and getting pulled back and forth, ultimately being played around by market noise. I have been struggling on this path for over three years, and later discovered a truth: to make the first bucket of gold in this market, you must learn to view the market from a "multi-dimensional perspective."



Simply put, don't focus on just one time frame. My current habit is like this:

First, open the 4-hour chart to see whether the overall direction is up, down, or moving sideways. This timeframe is the cleanest and can filter out those short-term fluctuations that make you anxious. Is the trend moving upward? Then wait for a pullback opportunity to go long. Is it going down all the way? Then short at the highs. If the highs and lows are erratic and without pattern, it's best to be cautious and trade less — sideways consolidation is the easiest way to lose money.

After determining the direction, switch to the 1-hour chart to find positions. At this time, we need to look for those "key areas": Where are the previous lows? Where is the trend line? Where is the moving average support? These places are often turning points for price rebounds or pullbacks. When approaching these positions, I will increase my alertness and prepare to act or retreat at any time.

Finally, look at the 15-minute chart—note that this period is not used to determine trends, but rather to "pull the trigger." When the price reaches the key area you marked, and a engulfing candlestick, divergence signal, or golden cross appears on the 15-minute chart, along with an increase in trading volume, that is the real entry opportunity. This step is to avoid being tricked into a false breakout.

In summary: 4-hour timeframe determines the direction, 1-hour timeframe finds the position, and 15-minute timeframe seizes the opportunity. If all three timeframe signals point in the same direction, the winning rate will naturally be higher. But if they conflict and contradict each other, it's better not to force it—keeping a vacant position is also a strategy.

There’s another painful lesson: short-term fluctuations can be ridiculously volatile, so stop-losses must be set, and don’t hold onto false hopes. I’ve seen too many people fall victim to the saying "let's wait a bit, it might come back."

$SOL I'm also paying attention to these coins, but the methodology is more important than the underlying assets. Reviewing, summarizing, and practicing repeatedly is the way to truly turn this system into your own weapon.

Well said, that's the point. I used to flip around on the 5-minute chart and ended up losing enough in a day to eat for half a month. Now, using your trap of multiple time frames, it's much clearer, and my mindset is much better.

You're looking very closely, but to be honest, I still easily get tricked by the 5-minute chart, haha. Thinking back to those margins I got wiped out before... it really was because I was too greedy.

You were too honest, I used to be the kind who looked at 5-minute charts, getting played for suckers every day.

This trap of multiple periods is indeed amazing. I died many times in the 5-minute chart before, but now following the 4-1-15 is really much more comfortable.

the multi-timeframe approach is basically just... reframing noise as signal through aesthetic layering, innit. 4h as the meta-narrative, 1h as the curatorial lens, 15m as the execution primitive. fascinating how traders unconsciously mirror the compositional hierarchy of post-modern art criticism.

Looking too closely makes it easier to play people for suckers, I have a deep understanding of this. But to be honest, most people can't stick to this methodology at all, and within three days, they return to staring at the 5-minute chart.

You are absolutely right, it requires multiple cycles of verification, and don't let the 5-minute chart break your mindset.

This trap of multiple periods is indeed amazing, but to be honest, most people can't stick with it at all; the temptation of the 5-minute chart is just too great.
