Charting
A Quick Guide to Multi-Timeframe ScalingQuick Intro
===========
Regardless of what type of trader we are, most of us will look at the same chart in different timeframes to help make the "case for a trade". The risk of doing so is that we need to understand the fundamental concept of Multi-Timeframe Scaling (let's call it MTF scaling) as we inspect the various timeframe charts of the same underlying, otherwise, we risk receiving confusing signals - that rather than helping a trade decision, will possibly hinders the decision, if not even triggering the wrong decision.
This concept has possibly been published about here before - i though it won't harm to put together a quick primer / reminder if it helps some of our new fellow traders on TradingView - if this sounds interesting, please read on.
What do I mean by Multi-Timeframe Scaling?
-------------------------------------------------------
in my trading, and as i check if there's a good trade to make on, say TSLA- i would first look at the daily chart -- cause i'm a position trader. is there a trend forming? has there been a recent consolidation? is there a possible breakout soon ? ..etc
i then "zoom-out" to a larger timeframe -- say the weekly chart. i need to see the prevailing sentiment and the "context" - this is important because even if it looks like a bottom is forming on the daily, if TSLA on the weekly shows a diminishing momentum, i would avoid making a long trade
assume the larger (weekly) timeframe is favorable -- so i will then "zoom-in" to find an ideal entry - using a smaller timeframe chart - the 1hr or 15mins
so what did we do here:
=====================
Larger timeframe = Context and prevailing sentiment
Medium timeframe = Trade Decision
Shorter Timeframe = Trade Execution
i will do the same for exits as well - i assume most traders have a similar "protocol" before they hit the trigger - but may use different "preferred set of timeframes" based on the type of trading -- day traders may use 15min for trading, with 1min for execution and 1 or 2Hrs for context -- swing traders may use 1hr for trading, with 10 mins for execution and 1 day for context and so on ....
the problem for many traders, as they switch between the charts of various timeframes is, they will see conflicting signals .. the indicators/charts many of us use are usually not "sync'ed" - to demonstrate how this looks like, look at the chart on top - to demonstrate what happens when there's lack of indicator scaling across the timeframes, i used a 3-SMA basic system -- but the same concept applies for any indicators you use (RSI, MACD, ADX/DMI, Stochastic)....etc -- the list goes on :) --
so what's wrong here and how can it be fixed?
----------------------------------------------------------
There's nothing "really" wrong, it's just there's an element at play that we may not be aware of here - We need to get very familiar with that concept of "MTF scaling" when we switch between different TF charts - the concept is really simple, and the key is the "scale factor"
the 1 day chart has 7 x 1hr bars (for stocks) -- so, for example, if i look at an SMA or EMA of length 9 on the daily chart, i need to look at the

$XRP PT .90-1.15 next leg up, momentum in up-trending channelRipple’s XRP slipped by 0.04% on Thursday. Partially reversing a 1.14% gain from Wednesday, Ripple’s XRP ended the day at $0.57008.
A bullish start to the day saw Ripple’s XRP rally to an early morning intraday high $0.59411 before hitting reverse.
Ripple’s XRP broke through the first major resistance level at $0.5900 before sliding to an early afternoon intraday low $0.54864.
Steering clear of the first major support level at $0.5390, Ripple’s XRP recovered to $0.57 levels to limit the downside.
At the time of writing, Ripple’s XRP was down by 0.27% to $0.56856. A mixed start to the day saw Ripple’s XRP rise to an early morning high $0.57270 before falling to a low $0.56828.
Ripple’s XRP left the major support and resistance levels untested early on.
For the day ahead
Ripple’s XRP will need to move back through the $0.5709 pivot level to bring the first major resistance level at $0.5932 into play.
Support from the broader market would be needed, however, for Ripple’s XRP to break back through to $0.59 levels.
Barring an extended crypto rally, the first major resistance level and Thursday’s high $0.59411 would likely cap any upside.
In the event of an extended rally, Ripple’s XRP could test resistance at $0.62 levels before any pullback. The second major resistance level sits at $0.0.6164.
Failure to move back through the $0.5709 pivot would bring the first major support level at $0.5478 into play.
Barring an extended sell-off, however, Ripple’s XRP should steer clear of the 23.6% FIB of $0.5320. The second major support level sits at $0.5255.
Looking at the Technical Indicators
First Major Support Level: $0.5478
Pivot Level: $0.5709
First Major resistance Level: $0.5932
23.6% FIB Retracement Level: $0.5320
38.2% FIB Retracement Level: $0.4632
62% FIB Retracement Level: $0.3521
USDCHF likely has somemore UP sideUpside on its way...at least to 0.905 first...

Social trading
Live Forex Signals Social trading involves the free sharing and using of information amongst a group of traders. The information provides access to new trading ideas, risk management and client sentiment. Social trading integrates the exchange of information into an online discussion. It creates a community feeling as traders can work together to plan specific trading ideas. In addition to sharing research, traders can also pool funds to generate greater gains.
Social trading is a broad category of trading and can include elements of copy trading and mirror trading. Traders can share information about individual trades that can be copied by other traders, or specific trading strategies that can be mirrored by other investors. Social trading can span the foreign exchange markets, as well as stock and commodity markets.
Is social trading profitable?
There are several benefits associated with social trading. Even if one is not open to online social interactions with other traders, there are specific aspects of social trading that can be beneficial. Social trading chatrooms with a moderator allow traders to follow trades and ask questions. This can be a good way for novice traders to learn more about trading and how to make profitable trades.
How does social trading work?
Social trading is generally performed on social trading platforms. Investors can trade within a community and replicate the style of expert traders. Moderators, who are usually experts, drive these discussions. Social trading can also involve aspects of copy trading and mirror trading.
An offshoot of social networking, social trading has created a different way to test financial information. In the past, investors would focus either on fundamental analysis or technical analysis . With forex trading, however, traders can share information about the current market environment and offer insight into future market movements, thus driving trading decisions. For some traders, it has changed the rules of analysis.
Most social trading takes place online. It provides traders with psychological support and can offer different points of view. By emulating some of the techniques learnt in a social trading environment, traders can often improve their trading strategies, risk management techniques and trading psychology . Forex trading focuses on short-term trading. This can in turn provide additional liquidity to the markets. Using social trading, one can also access the historical performance of members and can see the returns produced by specific strategies.
Social trading forum
Social FX platforms often provide a chart forum and social newsfeed. Members are constantly providing information about a specific subject. Traders can post their trading ideas as well as information to back up their thesis. Below is an example of a social trading interaction inside our online Next Generation trading platform, on the trading forum. Traders can engage with other traders and our market analysts to discuss the price evolution of the financial instruments that they are currently watching.

Social trading vs copy trading
With FX trading, one can garner ideas from many social trading networks. Copy trading, on the other hand, involves solely copying the trades of another investor. The goal of copy trading is for the trader to have the same positions as the investor they are copying. When copying another trader, one doesn’t receive the layout of the trader’s strategy and follows their trades blindly.
Traders can also invest their capital in a thematic investment. These are funds that turn capital over to specific traders who then act as portfolio managers. In essence, one is participating in copying funds. This is a bit like a funds investment, but instead of investing in hedge funds, one is investing a pool of capital into a fund that copies multiple traders. This provides diversity in copy trading and allows returns to be uncorrelated. Traders can perform this on their own, but it’s imperative for traders to ensure that they are not putting all their eggs in the same strategy basket.
What are the risks of social trading?
Like any trading activity, there are risks involved in social trading a market. Whether when copying another investor’s strategy or using the information to create their own trading decisions, traders should understand that there are risks involved and subsequently create their own risk management strategy. All trading leaders will, at some point, lose money. Individuals should feel comfortable that the risks are in line with their individual tolerance levels. The more capital risked, the greater the reward. They should also be aware that some social trading platforms charge a fee.
When allocating capital to forex trading, traders should start with determining the amount of capital they are willing to lose to generate the gains they are looking to achieve. They must also be realistic. For instance, a trader cannot expect to risk $50 to make $5,000. Traders should carefully look through the risk profiles associated with different social trading leaders and see if they are in line with expectations.
While one can set up an algorithmic trading mechanism, it is considered unwise to leave money unattended. As a very minimum, it is recommended that traders check their trades at least once every day. The best due diligence is to understand the logic behind the trading decisions made by a leader, and to be interactive in asking questions about the strategy one is using.
Summary
Social involves the sharing and using of information amongst a group of traders. There are several types of social trading, including strategy mirroring and copy trading. The information provided in social trading allows access to new ideas, risk management, and sentiment. Social trading can drive a community feeling as investors work together to formulate specific trading ideas. News feeds in social trading platforms offer access to real-time ideas that describe a strategy in detail. In addition to sharing research, social trading can also involve pooling funds to generate greater gains.
Social trading community
Some platforms provide a search criteria so traders can customize their social trading experience. Traders should test drive their trading for a while first before they start copying other investors. Traders should also ensure that the risk score is in line with their expectations and the maximum drawdown is not outside their tolerance level.
This can mean that they have an average return of 20% annualized but will regularly make and lose more than 50% on their trades. If the average return is 20% and the standard deviation of the returns is 50%, the Sharpe ratio is 0.4.
Why trade CFDs on currency pairs?
If, on the other hand, the average return is 20% and the standard deviation of the returns is 10%, then one will have a Sharpe ratio of 2. This is very good. The maximum drawdown offers information about the peak-to-trough drop. One should understand that if a leader has a maximum drawdown of 30%, a trader copying this person’s trades could lose 30% from peak-to-trough. MT4 Copy Trading
