📊Multi-Timeframe Analysis System - NEW
Gold News AI 2 introduces a sophisticated dual timeframe analysis system for institutional-grade trading precision:
How It Works
📈Higher Timeframe (HTF)
Purpose: Identifies overall market trend bias
- Provides primary trend direction
- Filters against counter-trend trades
- Typical settings: H4, H1, or D1
- Updates less frequently (more stable)
📉Lower Timeframe (LTF)
Purpose: Identifies precise entry timing
- Finds optimal entry points
- Provides fine-tuned signals
- Typical settings: M15, M30, or H1
- Updates more frequently (responsive)
Timeframe Combinations
The system validates proper timeframe ratios (4:1 or 5:1 recommended):
| HTF (Trend) | LTF (Entry) | Ratio | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| H4 | M15 | 16:1 | Swing trading, news-based entries |
| H4 | H1 | 4:1 | Position trading, lower frequency |
| H1 | M15 | 4:1 | Day trading (Recommended) |
| H1 | M5 | 12:1 | Active day trading |
| D1 | H4 | 6:1 | Long-term position trading |
Configuration Parameters
- HigherTimeframe: Select HTF for trend bias (M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1)
- LowerTimeframe: Select LTF for entries (M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1)
- RequireHTFAlignment: True = Trade only with HTF trend (safer), False = Allow LTF signals regardless
💡Best Practices:
- Beginners: Use H4/M15 with RequireHTFAlignment=true
- Day Traders: Use H1/M15 or H1/M5
- Swing Traders: Use D1/H4 or H4/H1
