Multi-Timeframe Analysis
Learn how Quantum GradeA uses MTF bias detection to identify high-probability setups by aligning multiple timeframes.
The Higher Timeframe Truth
Quantum GradeA was built around a simple truth learned through experience:
"The higher the timeframe, the clearer the market speaks."
While QGA functions across multiple timeframes, the system consistently performs best when aligned with higher-timeframe structure, particularly the 4-hour (4H) chart. This approach emphasizes patience, clarity, and precision over frequency.
Timeframe Hierarchy
Primary Trend Direction
Establishes the major trend. Trade entries should align with this direction for highest probability.
Trend Confirmation
Confirms the weekly trend and identifies key swing levels. Daily structure should support trade direction.
Entry Timeframe
The sweet spot for entries. Provides enough detail for precise entries while filtering noise.
Fine-Tuning Entries
Optional refinement for entries. Use for tighter stop losses but only when H4 is already aligned.
Reading the MTF Panel
The indicator displays MTF Pattern Alignment showing the bias for each timeframe:
Alignment Scenarios
Perfect Alignment (Strong Long)
Good Alignment (Long with Caution)
Mixed Signals (Avoid)
Counter-Trend (High Risk)
The 4-Hour Sweet Spot
The 4-hour timeframe is where Quantum GradeA consistently delivers its most reliable insights. This timeframe provides the balance between:
Sufficient Data
Enough candles for strong analysis
Timely Opportunities
Not too slow, not too fast
Reduced Noise
Less false signals vs intraday
MTF Best Practices
Use H4 as Your Primary Analysis Timeframe
Base directional bias and trade decisions on 4H structure
Treat Higher Timeframes as Source of Truth
Weekly and Daily determine the true trend direction
Avoid Contradicting H4 Bias Using Lower Timeframes
Don't let M15 or H1 noise override your H4 analysis
Let the Market Develop
Do not rush decisions. If price moves too far from ideal entry, the opportunity has passed.
