Hey, what's up guys, it's time to talk about and often overlooked topic but extremely importance of time frame continuity I Want to take a few minutes today to show you guys why it's so important and how you can utilize it in your training starting today. It will help you keep low risk trades with high predictability and precision entry points. So stick with me and I'll take you through this tutorial on how to use time Frame Continuity. Alright everyone I want to take a few minutes to talk a little bit about a very important topic and that's time Frame Continuity.

And what that basically means is that you want more than one time frame in your favor in order to signal that this is the right time to take a trades. So this is often a very overlooked topic because no traders are you know most often focused in on faster time frames 1 minutes, 5 minutes to momentum trade. But it is really important to cross-reference these trades with longer term time frames because this is going to definitely show you if there's you know by pressure or cell pressure right? So we want to be aware of what's going on on other time frames in order to increase our accuracy and reduce our risk in the trades that we're taking. So what I'm gonna do today is spend some time on talking about time frame continuity and what it actually means and then how you actually do it.

Alright, so it's something that I use in my trading quite a bit. especially I forget after we get through the first you know, 30 minutes of the day I Switched majority of my charts over to the 15 or 30 minutes time frame to just kind of keep an eye on the action and get a measurable look at the buying and selling pressure that's taking place to help me predict. where is the precision entry? you know that or keep me out of a trade that I would otherwise be a loss. Alright so we're gonna do is gonna go back a few days ago to a couple trades that I took and use those as the examples for for the timeframe continuity since we use the the charts on these names or the trades.

Alright so the first one's gonna be test. I Had a big trade on this last week out of the open. got the fade? you know, down below this 234 50 level. Really nice trade, but what we were looking at was a potential re entry on this after we took profit on our first trade which was right here out of the open.

Now typically what I like to do is I like to catch the first momentum, move out of the open, right? That's when the volatility and volume is the highest and that's when we can have the best predictability of what a stock going to do. And that's right. If Ik legs take the most, you know most of my trades in the first 30 minutes. Once the first 30 minutes pass I know that I start that I will have to start being more cautious.

Red flags are raised because every every second past the opening bell, the momentum and volume is subsiding right. Look at the Tesla chart. Just a good example. You see this on virtually all stocks, but if you look at the volume after the opening bell, it subsides.

And if there's subsiding volume, that's me. That means there's going to be less momentum, right? Because volume drives price. volume precedes price every time. All right.

So being that that's the case, I Like to have a more in-depth view of what's occurring right? Where is the buy and sell pressure occurring? And the only way I'm gonna be able to do that is by using a longer term time frame chart such as a 15 minute or a 30 minute. So what I did on Tesla or what I do on all my trades. The goal is to catch a momentum trade in the first 30 minutes of the day. Once that's done, what I typically do then is I look for re-entries right? Is there a point in time where this stock is setting up again to continue? Alright, to get a continuation trade and trading.

Tesla Last week we saw that this thing made a really nice move. to. the downside comes back to V whap. And this is this is most often referred to as the V Whap.

fade. We trade these a lot when the setup presents itself. Now, after you are done trading your first you know 15, 20, 30 minutes of the day and you start to look at stocks for re-entry or continuation. This is a setup that we use quite a bit and it's It's fairly predictable.

It's fairly safe as long as you have timeframe continuity. Now when I was looking at this Tesla trade for continuation. this is exactly what we want to see for a view. At Fade they have a hard move down.

We got that V bottom look move right back to view app and what you want to see thereafter is you know this thing to turn back over and continue back towards lows. But how do you know if it's ready to do that right? How do you know what the buy and sell pressure is? Well the only way to do that is to cross-reference different timeframes and look for timeframe continuity. So what do I do well as I'm looking at this it starting approach to view app. it's got a good look right? It definitely has potential to continue because we don't have this hard move down and there was still room to move down to this 50-day moving average around 221.

So still you know multiple points to to move here to get a nice trade off. But again, how do you know that's just the right time to take the trade? Well what I do again after the first 15 to 20 30 minutes of the day and this is around 9:50 5 A.m. I start to switch over my 15 minutes start to get to try to get a look at what the action is doing right? So let's go to the 15-minute chart on Tesla and take a look at what was was occurring on that day. All right.

So what we see here on Tesla is something that's very interesting on the 15-minute chart. All right. So here we have: Tesla This is the first 15 minutes of the day, right? This bar right here. 9:30 9:45 9:45 to 10 O'clock at this bar.

Alright, so this is essentially the first 30 minutes of action of the day. There's something here that is very significant that stands out to me that tells me that this trade is not ready for continuation until it reaches a certain point. And what stands out to me on this is a double bottom, right? A double bottom at down here around 225, 50s or 60s. So what happens here is I see a double bottom on a stock that had a hard move down.

So what is that telling you? Well, there's a lot of buying taking place down at this to 2560 level. so I don't really want to short back in to a level that has a ton of buyers there unless we start to actually break through it, all right? So being that we're sitting here at 10 o'clock and I see that we have a double bottom on the 15-minute chart, right? This is telling me this is not a short right. This is not a continuation trade until that level is taken out. All right, until the price action kicks out.

This side of the the action I Am NOT Interested in this for a short. Why we have a double bottom? A double bottom is not a sign of weakness, right? This is essentially 30 minutes of buying down here. at this level. That's a lot of buying, especially on a high profile style like Tesla.

So we go back to our five minute and we see what it looks like as we're approaching the view app at 10 o'clock right? We had this really good view at fade setup look you know starting to form and it looked like it would have been a really good trade to take. but now even right here this starts to look like the trade to take because we're getting the rejection of you app starting to turn back over. But remember what we had down here on the 15 minute chart, we had a double bottom and we also have essentially a double bottom on the 5-minute What is that telling us? Time frame Continuity I'm getting the same signal on a 15-minute chart that I Am on a 5-minute chart. I Don't want to short into a double bottom.

Alright, so in a normal situation that you may have not known about time frame continuity, probably it would have considered taking this trade, but the fact that I knew that we had the signal on a 15-minute and we have it on the 5-minute tells me that I don't want to be a part of this trade until it actually breaks the low. All right, let's go a little bit further. let's look at the 30 minute chart. Now, the 30 minute chart isn't going to show you the first bars worth of trading, right? So the 30 minute chart is only going to show you the first 30 minutes of action.

And basically what you see here on the first 30 minutes of action is that you get bought up off that bottom pretty nicely. Alright, you have a relatively decent wick here. To the downside: if this bar I closed all the way down here, then that would probably tell me that the stock was extremely weak and it's probably a lot more likely to break, but the fact that we've got bought up off that level is something that I need to consider in addition to the double bottom that we have now in the 15 in the third, so you can see across all three time frames. it's telling me that there is some strength that's occurring down here and it's really not ready until we start to take out the low of 225 60 right? So that again meets the criteria for me to stay out of a trade because we have those signals on both the 515 and now the 30 minute.

All right. So let's go back to the 5 minute and see how this trade responded once it actually started to try and pull away from the V Lat. All right. So as it starts to try and pull away from the V whap Here you may be thinking that this is the right spot to try to initiate a trade.

Look for a break of the lows and then continuation. Well, if you know anything about time frame continuity and you're using it to your advantage, you would have stayed out of this trade which would helped you avoid a reversal move to the upside. Okay, now let's say that we get past 10 o'clock and you know that's the time when the momentum starts to really drop off and the volumes start to really drop off. As you can see here, after 10 o'clock it really starts to drop off quite a bit.

And that's gonna be true for all stocks. What I typically do now is I switch to 15 and 30 minutes across all my charts and I wait for signals to line up right? So if we look at Tesla on a 15-minute chart after 10 o'clock and we start to try to pick an entry point that could potentially signal continuation, what What? Where do you see that this is ready to continue? Well, we look at the 15 min chart on Tesla After 10 o'clock we see that we have an inside bar here. 10 to 10:15 This bar breaks up, but I don't want to go long on the stocks is extremely weak. You have a huge pivot in through to 34 50 so this isn't the right context for reversal.

So basically I'd want to look for a trade that starts to revert back lower for potential continuation. All right. So what do we have going on here? Well, I start to see a little bit of an uptrend. Very well-defined uptrend here.

All right. So I'll try. I'll use these speed lines. That kind of help me get get a little bit of a sense of the trend and then in addition with this time frame continuity I will be able to pick a precision entry.

So right now basically we look at the 15-minute chart. and if we start to break back below this candle right here this last 15-minute candle. because listen, we are starting to get a little bit of selling come in here and upper Wick. But if we start to break down below the low of this 15-minute candle which is 230, we have V whap at 220 950.

And that's also where our ace ending support on the 15-minute chart lies. So we know roughly from the 15 minute that below 22950 is your precision entry point to the short side. Okay, and that's at 10:30 So let's look at a 30 minute and see what that tells us. All right.

30 minute on? Tesla Go back here and we'll see what this tells us. So look what the thirty minutes starting to do. We get this move up right. We'll get this move up and it also is telling us right here after this candle starts to close that you know if we get below the low of this candle right.

the low of this candles 229 60. Remember what the what the signal was on the 15 minute? it was 229 50. So we've got time frame continuity here within ten cents. All right Time frame continuity That tells us if we break 229 50 or 60, that's the short point.

All right, and that'll least get us back. Try to get us back down. You know potential to break the lows. If lows break, we can add to the position.

All right. But we know that there is a trade potential here from 229 50 or 60 s. Potentially back down to the lows which is a couple points and for a day trader, that's something that we can profit on. So let's look back at a 5-minute after 10:30 and see what happens.

All right. Five-minute after 10:30 and see what happens. 2:29 60 was our level was our level was our signal for entry was the trigger point. Okay, so we'll go go after 1030 here.

So here's here's 10:30 right? Or still up or still up or so up. Now we're starting to come after 10:30 Remember our signal was 229 50 or 60. The Vo app is 229 54. So basically if it breaks view app we can look to start to take the trade.

Alright, so let's just move forward here. All right, move forward a little bit. There is the test of of the level. Literally to the penny to 2955 starts to test, the level, sits there, there is your break.

There's the entry. Okay, you're in Tesla short because of your time frame continuity on both the 15 and a 30 minute time frame to 2960 or short and there is a very nice break down for you. You at least get a couple points you're breaking to 27 from a 229 60 entry. Very nice, easy to spot trade for a couple points into the late morning.

and listen, that could make your daily goal. You could trade strictly after 10:30 and use timeframe continuity and definitely be able to hit your daily goals by simply following the the alignment of the charts. Alright, so that was Tesla I Just I Wanted to illustrate how this can keep you out of trades that aren't ready to go but then also put you in the driver's seat. Well now we're ready to go.

So Precision entry points using time frame continuity. Alright, let's look at another one. Let's look at CSS This is a trade that I used time frame continuity. so let's go back and take a look at.

CSX This is a trade that when it broke its 200-day we had on watch and being that it was sitting on us 200-day as we got close to the open, we had to be really cautious on this because you know if stocks hit the 200-day a hold, we often see a big bounce. Alright, so CSX was on watch because if it broke, the 200-day had a big pocket below. A really nice technical setup. But what happened out of the open is that it sold in the 200-day and bounced right.

Didn't break the 200-day Second 5 minute candle sold again higher low, but we close back higher so there's still a lot of buyers down here at this now. This 200-day moving average right? So we move forward a little more Again, still more indecision between the pivot and the 200-day moving average. So right now I'm really only interested in going short, but below that below that 200-day moving average which falls at roughly 72 30. But again, we're starting to move into the first.

you know, 30 minutes of the day here. Now here is a test of the 200-day but we want to close below the 200-day We want confirmations we don't want to get caught on the whips all the trade. So right here or 15 minutes in? Alright, still not ready because it didn't close below. Inside Bar: No interest in trading inside bar right? An outside bar.

Back to the upside, just looks like we're starting to bounce off the 200-day So now we're approaching 10 o'clock or 9:55 a.m. you know, basically coming into 10 o'clock. So what do I do I haven't taken any trades yet. Just as I said I start to switch over my longer-term time frames and that's gonna be the 15 minute and the 30 minute.

Alright, so let's first we take a look at the 15-minute chart. Alright, so here's what we have on the 15 minute as we approach 10 o'clock All right, here's your first 15-minute candle 9:30 9:45 your second 15-minute candle 9:45 to 10 o'clock What is that telling you? It's telling you that there has been 30 minutes of consistent buying as you hit the 200-day moving average. I Don't want to short into a level where there's consistent buying for 30 minutes I Want to wait till it's cleared or there's a another signal that's telling me that below that level is the actual point to take the trade right? These big bottom wicks are telling us that there's more buyers than sellers. The buyers are outpacing the sellers or holding that 200-day moving average.

And again, since its approaching 10 o'clock momentum is starting to subside. We need to be cautious and really hone in on what that persistent entry is going to be. Alright, The 15-minute tells us below this 200-day moving average 72 29 is the entry point. So let's go to the 30 now the next step and take a look at what that says.

All right, looking at the 30 minute. What that tells us here is essentially the same thing, right? which is the first 30 minutes of the day. And we have a consistent buying right here. Off the 200-day consistent buying big-bottomed wick.

it's holding that big support level all right. So I'm not gonna try to anticipate that because it's a big support level. It's been bought for 30 minutes. don't want to do that.

That's a dangerous. Risky trades unpredictable. So this is telling us essentially the exact same things at 15 minute. The break below the low, a break below the 200-day is the point at which we can take the trade.

So what do we have here? Time frame continuity in both the 30 and 15 minute charts? All right. So after 10 o'clock if we start to break down through this trigger point which we have now based off our 15 and 30, we can take the trade back to the 5-minute right? So now I know the level that we're gonna watch. I'm gonna watch the 5-minute now and see if that trade triggers if it does I'm taking it all right. So look what happens here after Ten o'clock closes.

All right. So here is your let's see. here is 10 o'clock All right. Ten O'clock closes right there.

So now we know that we have to wait until this breaks. We're not gonna try to do a view, app, fade, and try to anticipate the breakdown. We're going to wait to the level breaks. That's what we're most likely to see.

the acceleration of the move, All right. So as we move forward, there we go. move down, we take out the load, We take out our signals from both the 15 and the 30 and we take out the 200-day moving average. All right? I'm sure I got short this trade and we started to see the volume pick up into the move and we made a really really nice profit on this to lockup for the day.

So again, I use time frame continuity on this because it was chopping around, it was hard to get a clear signal on it and it was just a trade that I wanted extra confirmation on because we were getting bought up off that 200-day moving average on both the 15 and a third. but they both told me the same thing for the signal just like Tesla did and look at how precise that entry is, exactly where the move starts to begin. All right. So a good example there on CSX of how to sit tight, be patient, wait for that timeframe continuity to set up, and then take the trade once it triggers.

and again, guys, this is something that you can trade if you're not comfortable trading the open, if it's overwhelming, if there's too much action, too much volatility, wait till ten o'clock switch over to your fifteen and thirty minute charts and wait for these trades to signal and you will see that you will have very precision entry points. You will have very low risk because you're waiting patiently on the timeframe continuity in a signal. This is essentially the same thing as watching a an indicator such as your MACD or your RSI or your stochastic. All you're doing here is measuring the buy and sell pressure by using a longer term timeframe, right? That's what all those indicators are using to quantify the buy and sell pressure.

They're just putting it in a visual cue. The only difference is is that in an in an indicator like that, that's on your chart. It's not telling you a signal. It's not telling you the point at which to get short.

It's only telling you Yes, it's strong or its weak, but it's not actually telling you the signal. What? I'm showing you here on timeframe continuity is showing you the signal. It's showing you the exact entry point. So know how to read the timeframe continuity and you will be far ahead of any of those indicators out there, right? It doesn't have to be difficult, doesn't have to be complicated just to understand how to use it.

And then you'll be ahead of all those other indicators out there because that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to use price action to give you signals, but since it's lagging, you're always behind. So if you use what I'm teaching you, you can get precision entry points. All right.

One more for the day. I'm going to talk about state Si Ve. This is a good time frame continuity one that we use as well. If we look back at this on the day that it took place, this was a big gap down and we're looking to get short on this below this: 45 80 pivot.

Nice move on this. Alright, nice move on this and you know that was the first about 30 minutes of the day. But again, let's say don't trade the first 30 minutes of the day and you want to wait for continuation. or you want to wait for a more predictable signal or you've already traded the first 30 minutes and you're looking for a reentry.

Alright, so save, let's look at the 15 minute chart at 10 o'clock I'd Save a look at the 15-minute chart at 10 o'clock and we'll see what we have taking place here for us. All right? So here is SAV E and here is 10 o'clock Okay, so start to come back up into 10 o'clock or against the pivot. So right now and I look at this chart I don't really see any signal either way on it, right? We don't have a double bottom, so it's not really telling us it's super strong off the bottom, but we are pushing through V web and that's not really something that's you know you want to see for continuation. So you kind of just sit tight on this trade and and really wait until you have a signal.

Now where I would tell you that I would be interested in shorting this is potentially below 45 based off this 15-minute chart. Once we come back and take back out 45, you're likely to come back to at least 44 50 and potentially down towards the low. All right. So that's what the 15-minute is telling us is.

roughly 45 because we're coming back down through V web and that opens us up back towards lows. All right. So 44 45 or so that's gonna be the signal points on the 15-minute for Save, let's go to the 30 minute. All right.

30 minute on Save. So 30 minute on save. This is your first 30 minute candle, right? 10 or 9:30 to 10:00 o'clock So basically on this candle here it's there's really not much of a signal. It is very weak.

All right. it is very weak cuz it closed pretty close to the low and the signal on the on a 30 minute chart is below the low for the trade. All right for continuation. So 44 11.

So right here on save, we don't really have that close of continuity. We have one telling us 45. we have one telling us 44 10 or 4411 so not really interested in that just yet. but I'll keep watching it because it is a really weak stop.

So back to the 15-minute we'll keep watching this into you know, the late morning and now as we start to reject off the pivot point right? this is starting to happen. We know that we have a very substantial resistance level here for more support and we know that we're rejecting it. So now this looks pretty interesting in that if you continue to reject this and you pull away from that, it's probably looking pretty good too to continue right because you're the resistance is holding right. If resistance fails, you can expect a support to fail as well.

So I'm sorry if resistance holds, you can expect this support to fail. All right. So we're rejecting that 4586 pivot. Now to me on the 15-minute it is telling me basically back below this candle here which is a low 4550 but we have the V whap in our way.

so we've got to get below basically 45 30s for us to take the trade and that is gonna be kind of the rough spot to look for a for a at least to start your position. So 45:32 below be wet. Alright so let's look at what we have on a 30 minute at 10:30 Okay, So we go over to the 30 minute and here is here is what we have starting to take place at 10:30 below of this candle right here: 4550 All right. Remember we just said 45 50 was the low of the last candle as well.

but we have view a pin the way at 45 30. So these are exactly the same. Literally exactly the same 100% the same signal at 45 30 below the V web. Okay, back to the 5-minute after 10:30 Let's see what happens at 45 30 45 30 after 10:30 on Save.

Okay so we start to come in to save. Here's a rejection off the level and we are at. let's see here what song we at? We're at 10:30 10:30 The bars right here. So remember that we said that we have to get below 45 30 for us to take the tray.

So let's move forward. kind of just sit sideways here. look what we're hovering on 45 50. Remember we said that both time frames told us 45 50 was the entry.

Well look where it's sitting on support. but we have to wait until at least the view app is broken because that will really open up the window back towards Lowe's there's the break. All right, takes out. View app takes out 45 30 You're in all right.

You're in this to the short side looking for continuation and then from there on and see what happens to this trade continues all day long, all day long into the close. All right. precision entry, virtually no risk, high probability trades, and low stress. and looking for continuation.

Right Time Frame continuity guys is really important. Learn how to use it. You'll be ahead of 90% of the traders and also virtually all the indicators. All right.

Time Frame continuity is really important again. I Like to switch to them after the start, looking at them after the first 15 to 30 minutes and definitely switch over after the first 30 minutes is completed, waiting for the signals to present themselves. I'll then switch back to the lower timeframes are the faster time frames to look for my entry. All right, So that's time frame continuity.

I Hope you guys find this valuable. If you have any questions or comments, please leave them below. I'm happy to help you guys understand this with more clarity if need be. So good luck to you all and that we'll see you back for our next next video.
