I’m gonna explain to you today why we choose to trade a variety of different timeframe forex charts. How it helps us and how it can massively help you to improve your trading results. Let’s get into that and more right now.

Hey traders! It’s Andrew Mitchem here, from The Forex Trading Coach with video and podcast #333.

The benefits of trading multiple time frame charts

And I want to explain to you about the benefits to you as a forex trader of looking at and trading multiple timeframe charts. So take a step back. Think about the trading, think about the charts, think about the market. It’s little bit like people and the market has different characteristics, different mood swings. It reacts differently to different events. You can never really predicts what’s going to happen. Different forex pairs react differently depending on the time of the day, day of the weeks, sometimes the month, different years. And you never really know which timeframe charts or which pairs are gonna react when.

Being flexible as a trader

So, as traders, we need to adapt, we need to be flexible and one other best ways that we do that and also that’s gonna help you to do that. Is to have the ability to look at a few different timeframe charts. Different charts also pick up those different mood swings, different characteristics of the market. They give you the ability to identify high probability setup trades. That if you start to just one timeframe chart. You would often missed out on. So it’s very important that you have that ability to adapt and to look at different timeframes.

Looking at your charts

You’ll notice when you go through the charts. You might find that one timeframe just looks really flat and really boring. Other timeframes on the same pair at the same time will be showing really good setups. Again, it comes back to that characteristic of the pair and the time of day that you trading or whenever it might be the month, etc. So that’s why it is very very important.

Trading examples from this week

I give a few examples of how we adapt to those changes and how we profit and benefit from that so it can help you. So just last night, I held my live client’s webinar. Hold them every 2 weeks, 2 hour long, live trading room sessions. The alternate week, Paul over in America holds the US session, but last night it was my turn. Had a great session lots of people on it. I showed my clients over 20 charts setup just from this week. That I’ve either taking myself, I’ve seen people post on our forum site or clients have emailed me showing me the results.

Over 20 charts just this week, just from the 4 hour charts. Absolutely amazing the 4 hour charts have been this week. Go and have a look at your MT4 Charts, your trading charts and look at the 4 hour charts across the variety of different timeframe charts from this week. You will find if you have decent trading strategy there been a lot of very very good setups.

High quality trading setups on the H4 charts

So I went through those last night and they said at least 20 of them. They were absolutely amazing charts, high reward to risk, high quality setups and they work beautifully.

So the 4 hour charts for some reason work really well this week. And on that session, we talked about how other timeframe charts have not been quite not so good this week. They have not really showing on the setups.

Live trades taken on the webinar

So on that session I also took a 1 hour live trade on the EUR/NZD sell trade yest...
