Using Multiple Timeframes

Multiple time frame strategy equals using 2 chart timeframes to trade gold - a shorter time frame used for trading and a longer time frame used to check the trend.

Since it is always good to follow the market trend when gold trading, in Multiple Time Frame Analysis, the longer chart timeframe provides us the direction of the long-term trend.

If the long-term trend direction supports market direction of the smaller time frame then probability of opening a profitable trade position is significantly increased. This is because even if you make a mistake the long term trend will eventually save you. Also if you trade in the direction of trend, then mostly you will be in winning side - this is what this Multiple Time Frame Analysis is all about.
