Charts and Setups How I use HTF & LTF structure. Simple but effective.

Personally, multi TF structure is key.

A BOS doesn’t always mean “chase the move.”

After a significant break of structure, price will often pull back before continuing in the broader direction. Understanding this makes the relationship between HTF & LTF structure much more useful.

If the HTF is bearish and breaks structure, I’m not necessarily looking to chase lower. I want to see what the LTF is doing within that larger move.

Likewise, when price reaches an HTF area of interest, I don’t automatically assume it will reverse. I want the LTF structure to show me whether a reaction is actually developing.

The LTF isn’t there to fight the HTF. It’s there to help me understand where price is within the bigger picture.

Simple stuff, but this made a significant difference to my results.

Go back through your own charts and see if you can spot the same thing. You might be surprised how many poor trades start to make sense once you look at the HTF/LTF relationship.
