HTF / LTFHigher / Lower Timeframe

Pros analyse direction on the HTF (4H/Daily) and execute on the LTF (15m/1H) for sniper entries.

Multi-timeframe analysis (HTF/LTF) is non-negotiable for serious traders. The HTF (4H, Daily, Weekly) tells you the dominant trend and key supply/demand zones. The LTF (5m, 15m, 1H) is for execution — finding the precise entry candle within an HTF zone.

The classic workflow: identify a Daily bullish OB → switch to 1H to wait for price to retrace into it → switch to 15m for the actual entry candle (bullish engulfing). Stops sized off the LTF, targets read from the HTF.
