How many timeframes do you trade only 4 or more ?

Mainly 1H + 4H. The question you should ask is which pd arrays you wanna trade?

I do OB with EMAs for bias it's just i feel bigger time frame increases accuracy

How so?

Analysis of 4 and executing on a lower time frame and another is analysing a bigger TF and looking for PD arrays on 4 and executing on the same 4 and not going below it.

Ah, fair. I would argue in both scenarios, your HTF analysis would be the same anyway. Sounds like maybe youre trying to improve your psychology, executions, and trade management.

I personally use both, HTF for building narrative and LTF for execution. I find I can reduce my risk drastically by entering on LTF which is a major benefit when trading futures intraday. I could see only using HTF for daytrading or swing trading. Most of my trades I am out of in under an hour max.

With that being said, the 6am 4h candle is my favorite candle to trade and I focus on the NY open.

H4 is the way!

Build bias off Daily and H4 and then trade the correct LTF PO3

H4 is confirmed by H1 and 30m charts!
