1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,700
Multiple timeframes. One of the most
powerful concepts within technical

2
00:00:04,700 --> 00:00:09,040
is multiple timeframes, or in other
words, analyzing the chart in different

3
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:11,040
timeframes to align a trading idea.

4
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:16,140
Not all approaches can make use of this
concept, but the Wyckoff method can,

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,080
thanks to the universal applicability of
its principles.

6
00:00:19,580 --> 00:00:23,700
The first and most important thing to be
clear on is that we can make use of

7
00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:25,320
multiple timeframes or not.

8
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,940
It is optional and the trader must
decide themselves whether to use it.

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:35,080
There is no established rule, but this
principle is generally applied using two

10
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,360
or three different time frames.

11
00:00:36,620 --> 00:00:42,100
A longer term one that would establish
the main context, another medium term

12
00:00:42,100 --> 00:00:46,460
to carry out the most immediate analysis
and make decisions, and a shorter term

13
00:00:46,460 --> 00:00:49,020
time frame to calibrate the management
of the position.

14
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,040
This slide shows an example of a
possible configuration depending on the

15
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,020
trader you decide to be, and therefore
the type of trading you will carry out.

16
00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:02,780
I always say that the trading type that
we decide to undertake must be adapted

17
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:07,660
to our profile as a trader, and in this
case, to the time we have available to

18
00:01:07,660 --> 00:01:08,660
dedicate to it.

19
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,920
If you cannot or do not want to spend
too much time trading, it's best to use

20
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,360
single time frame, usually the daily
chart.

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,460
This time frame is wide enough to
provide an adequate context of the

22
00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:26,370
term and at the same time offers the
possibility of trading on a more

23
00:01:26,370 --> 00:01:29,930
basis than if you were to only use the
weekly chart, for example.

24
00:01:30,550 --> 00:01:35,770
This is what I do for my medium -long
-term trading shares analysis, trading

25
00:01:35,770 --> 00:01:36,990
management on the daily chart.

26
00:01:37,830 --> 00:01:42,730
If you can and want to spend more time
trading and decide to do so on hourly or

27
00:01:42,730 --> 00:01:47,590
shorter charts, then you will have to
make use of multiple time frames and

28
00:01:47,590 --> 00:01:50,970
this concept together with the
principles of the Wyckoff method.

29
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:56,360
This is a powerful combination, multiple
timeframes plus Wyckoff.

30
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,400
As I have mentioned, the first thing
that we must be clear about is

31
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,000
the general context and the trading
zones of the longer -term timeframe.

32
00:02:05,740 --> 00:02:10,300
The key idea is that we will go down to
a lower timeframe right at the location

33
00:02:10,300 --> 00:02:14,580
and the moment in which the price begins
to interact in the identified trading

34
00:02:14,580 --> 00:02:15,580
zone.

35
00:02:15,660 --> 00:02:17,880
Sometimes it will look for the entry
trigger.

36
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,500
but we will also do it if what we want
is to calibrate our position management.

37
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,180
Imagine that we are in a trading
situation in which we are assessing the

38
00:02:27,180 --> 00:02:29,200
possibility of looking for a long
position.

39
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,640
We already know that our primary trading
positions occur in phases C, D, and E.

40
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:39,560
We will go down to a lower time frame to
look at the calibration of the entry

41
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,460
right when the price is in that
situation, for example.

42
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,580
Let's say we are in a potential spring,
phase C situation in the longer time

43
00:02:47,580 --> 00:02:51,980
frame. Ideally, we would hope to see
signs in a smaller scale structure that

44
00:02:51,980 --> 00:02:56,520
suggest the entry of buyers. On the one
hand, the macro structure would suggest

45
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,820
we are in a situation conducive to
trading, and at the same time we would

46
00:03:00,820 --> 00:03:04,800
seeing a potential smaller scale
accumulation structure that, if

47
00:03:05,140 --> 00:03:09,620
would act like the possible spring of
the larger structure, leaving us with an

48
00:03:09,620 --> 00:03:11,480
extraordinary risk -reward ratio.

49
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,120
In this other example, if we are in a
potential break and retest situation

50
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,620
a bullish break and the analysis of the
signs confirm this, in that position, we

51
00:03:22,620 --> 00:03:25,520
should expect the continuation of the
development of the structure.

52
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,520
Therefore, we would look for a smaller
scale reaccumulation structure as a test

53
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,940
on the broken structure, which will then
continue subsequently with the trend

54
00:03:34,940 --> 00:03:38,300
movement out of range, as shown in the
example on the side.

55
00:03:39,079 --> 00:03:43,740
Finally, if we are in the middle of a
bullish uptrend outside of range, we

56
00:03:43,740 --> 00:03:47,700
expect to see the development of minor
reaccumulation structures to try to

57
00:03:47,700 --> 00:03:50,460
position ourselves long in the direction
of the movement.

58
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,340
We don't know the momentum behind the
market movement and the imbalance in

59
00:03:55,340 --> 00:03:57,440
of that direction may have a certain
urgency.

60
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:03,040
This urgency can generate the
development of rapid structures, and

61
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,040
we want to be.

62
00:04:04,460 --> 00:04:08,440
This is the dynamic that we have to keep
in mind with regard to context

63
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,200
analysis, how smaller structures fit
into larger structures.

64
00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:17,200
As we have seen in the previous
examples, it is not always necessary to

65
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,279
to a shorter time frame.

66
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,140
Most of the time, the minor structures
will be observed in the same way on the

67
00:04:23,140 --> 00:04:25,880
upper time frame, although with a faster
development.

68
00:04:26,420 --> 00:04:31,280
The key is to prioritize the development
of larger structures over smaller ones.

69
00:04:31,580 --> 00:04:36,140
With this principle in mind, it is at
the discretion of each trader to decide

70
00:04:36,140 --> 00:04:38,120
how short a time frame to go into.

71
00:04:38,540 --> 00:04:42,320
Keep in mind that the lower you go, the
more noise you will see.

72
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,920
But we need to proceed with caution.

73
00:04:45,260 --> 00:04:49,540
The fact that we are initially biased in
favor of one direction should not

74
00:04:49,540 --> 00:04:52,800
undermine our objectivity when analyzing
that minor structure.

75
00:04:53,420 --> 00:04:57,700
As we already know, we would be in a key
area, a liquidity zone.

76
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,420
which is likely to encourage the entry
of huge volume into the market in the

77
00:05:02,420 --> 00:05:03,420
opposite direction.

78
00:05:03,940 --> 00:05:09,300
Therefore, the potential spring
situation is, at the same time, a

79
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:10,300
bearish breakout.

80
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,800
The analysis of the larger structure may
suggest that up to now the buyers have

81
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,840
control. However, if during the
development of this minor structure we

82
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:22,920
observe these same signs, and by
contrast, we see the appearance of

83
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:27,400
sellers, it would not make sense to
continue predicting an accumulation

84
00:05:27,790 --> 00:05:31,350
Instead, we should consider the bearish
scenario as likely.

85
00:05:31,970 --> 00:05:34,090
This is the case in the following
example.

86
00:05:34,330 --> 00:05:38,090
We are in a trading zone, potential
spring and potential breakout.

87
00:05:38,690 --> 00:05:43,510
Initially, and if the signs in general
so suggest, we should predict the

88
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:47,150
development of an accumulation structure
since the previous trend was bullish.

89
00:05:47,310 --> 00:05:51,410
But that does not mean that we should
not remain as objective as possible when

90
00:05:51,410 --> 00:05:53,110
observing what is happening in the
market.

91
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,180
If, in this context, the price begins to
develop a minor structure that fails to

92
00:05:58,180 --> 00:06:02,860
unbalance the market upwards and instead
develops a minor upthrust, we should

93
00:06:02,860 --> 00:06:07,120
have enough capacity to cancel our
bullish scenario and assess the

94
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,100
of a distribution scenario occurring.

95
00:06:09,660 --> 00:06:14,020
What's more, we may not have enough
capacity to take advantage of the

96
00:06:14,020 --> 00:06:17,460
effect of this distribution because we
were too bullishly biased.

97
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:21,400
But at the very least, we should have
questioned the bullish scenario having

98
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,540
seen the failure of the bullish breakout
of the miner structure.

99
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,200
And this would have saved us from a
loss.

100
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,300
This is what is important.

101
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,240
The same situation can occur in the
other trading context that we have seen

102
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,560
previously. In this case, we are in a
potential bullish breakout situation,

103
00:06:38,940 --> 00:06:42,500
which at the same time is also a
potential upthrust situation.

104
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,020
We see that the structure has developed,
offering us certain guarantees.

105
00:06:47,660 --> 00:06:51,520
thanks to the development of the spring
and, automatically, the indication of

106
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,560
strength, so our directional bias will
continue to be bullish.

107
00:06:55,060 --> 00:06:59,440
Once positioned above the structure,
right in the area where we are looking

108
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:04,340
the test after the breakout, it begins
to develop a minor structure, which

109
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:08,640
initially offer us an entry with a long
position in that small bearish breakout,

110
00:07:08,860 --> 00:07:13,640
but which finally, after reaching the
previous highs, ends up as another

111
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,840
breakout. This should send the alarm
bells ringing.

112
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,820
This fact in itself should be enough for
us to abandon the position in the event

113
00:07:21,820 --> 00:07:26,260
we have entered the market long, or at
least protect it or refine our stop

114
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,600
Subsequently, we see how it was a false
breakout and ends up as a minor

115
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,100
distribution structure, dependent on the
upthrust of the major structure, and

116
00:07:36,100 --> 00:07:37,960
then leads to a bearish downturn.

117
00:07:38,420 --> 00:07:42,660
Hence, the importance of having an open
mind and not being too rigid with

118
00:07:42,660 --> 00:07:43,980
respect to directional biases.

119
00:07:44,810 --> 00:07:50,050
You should also always have both long
and short scenarios prepared so that

120
00:07:50,050 --> 00:07:52,850
the moment arrives, you can take
decisions quickly.
