Trade Like A Sniper - Episode 16 - Pfizer - (5th June 2024)This video is part of a video series where I backtest a specific asset using the TradingView Replay function, and perform a top-down analysis using ICT's Concepts in order to frame ONE high-probability setup. I choose a random point of time to replay, and begin to work my way down the timeframes. Trading like a sniper is not about entries with no drawdown. It is about careful planning, discipline, and taking your shot at the right time in the best of conditions.
A couple of things to note:
- I cannot see news events.
- I cannot change timeframes without affecting my bias due to higher-timeframe candles revealing its entire range.
- I cannot go to a very low timeframe due to the limit in amount of replayed candlesticks
In this session I will be analyzing PFE (Pfizer), starting from the 4-Month chart.

Your ULTIMATE Guide For Time Frames in Trading
If you just started trading, you are probably wondering what time frames to trade. In the today's post, I will reveal the difference between mainstream time frames like daily, 4h, 1h, 15m.
Firstly, you should know that the selection of a time frame primarily depends on your goals in trading.
If you are interested in swing trading strategies, of course, you should concentrate on higher time frames analysis while for scalping the main focus should be on lower time frames.
Daily time frame shows a bigger picture.
It can be applied for the analysis of a price action for the last weeks, months, and even years.
It reveals the historical key levels that can be relevant for swing traders, day traders and scalpers.
The patterns that are formed on a daily time frame may predict long-term movements.
In the picture above, you can see how the daily time frame can show the price action for the last years, months and weeks.
In contrast, hourly time frame reflects intraweek & intraday perspectives.
The patterns and key levels that are spotted there, will be important for day traders and scalpers.
The setups that are spotted on an hourly time frame, will be useful for predicting the intraday moves and occasionally the moves within a trading week.
Take a look at the 2 charts above, the hourly time frame perfectly shows the market moves within a week and within a single day.
4H time frame is somewhere in between. For both swing trader and day trader, it may provide some useful confirmations.
4H t.f shows intraweek and week to week perspectives.
Above, you can see how nicely 4H time frame shows the price action on EURUSD within a week and for the last several weeks.
15 minutes time frame is a scalping time frame.
The setups and levels that are spotted there can be used to predict the market moves within hours or within a trading session.
Check the charts above: 15 minutes time frame shows both the price action within a London session and the price action for the last couple of hours.
It is also critical to mention, that lower is the time frame, lower is the accuracy of the patterns and lower is the strength of key levels that are identified there. It makes higher time frame analysis more simple and reliable.
The thing is that higher is the time frame, more important it is for the market participants.
While lower time frames can help to predict short term moves, higher time frames are aimed for predicting long-term trends.
Learn Why You Should Study Multiple Time Frame Analysis
In my daily posts, I quite frequently use multiple time frame analysis.
If you want to enhance your predictions and make more accurate decisions, this is the technique you need to master.
In the today's post, we will discuss the crucial importance of multiple time frames analysis in trading the financial markets.
1️⃣ Trading on a single time frame, you may miss the important key levels that can be recognized on other time frames.
Take a look at the chart above. Analyzing a daily time frame, we can spot a confirmed bullish breakout of a key daily resistance.
That looks like a perfect buying opportunity.
However, a weekly time frame analysis changes the entire picture, just a little bit above the daily resistance, there is a solid weekly resistance.
From such a perspective, buying GBPUSD looks very risky.
2️⃣ The market trend on higher and lower time frames can be absolutely different.
In the example above, Gold is trading in a bullish trend on a 4h time frame. It may appear for a newbie trader that buyers are dominating on the market. While a daily time frame analysis shows a completely different picture: the trend on a daily is bearish, and a bullish movement on a 4H is simply a local correctional move.
3️⃣ It may appear that the market has a big growth potential on one time frame while being heavily over-extended on other time frames.
Take a look at GBPJPY: on a weekly time frame, the market is trading in a strong bullish trend.
Checking a daily time frame, however, we can see that the bullish momentum is weakening: the double top pattern is formed and the market is consolidating.
The sentiment is even changing to a bearish once we analyze a 4H time frame. We can spot a rising wedge pattern there and its support breakout - very bearish signal.
4️⃣ Higher time frame analysis may help you to set a safe stop loss.
In the picture above, you can see that stop loss placement above a key daily resistance could help you to avoid stop hunting shorting the Dollar Index.
Analyzing the market solely on 1H time frame, stop loss would have been placed lower and the position would have closed in a loss.
Always check multiple time frame when you analyze the market.
It is highly recommendable to apply the combination of at least 2 time frames to make your trading safer and more accurate.

LTC - Good Key To Feel The Market!🔑Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, as known as theSignalyst.
I always keep an eye on Litecoin to feel the overall crypto market.
LTC has been overall bullish from a medium-term perspective trading inside the red rising broadening wedge pattern.
After rejection the upper red trendline and breaking below the last minor low in gray the bears took over for a bearish correction.
As we trade lower, we will be approaching the lower bound of the rising broadening wedge .
Moreover, the red zone is a previous high and demand zone.
So the highlighted purple circle is a strong area to look for buy setups as it is the intersection of the red demand zone and lower blue trendline. (acting as non-horizontal support)
As per my trading style:
As LTC approaches the purple circle zone, I will be looking for bullish reversal setups (like a double bottom pattern, trendline break , and so on...)
If we break the lower red trendline downward, then expect further bearish movement till the lower bound of the big blue wedge around 55.0
Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

Top Down 9/28/22So today I won’t be trading, I have physical therapy, but this is my 4H chart and this is what I’m looking for. I’m looking to see if we are going to trade above the daily into the FVG (Lemme see if you can spot it). If we do, I’ll look to try to take a sell from that area or at least look to get a response in that area. I won’t actively be able to reach out regarding any trade that is activated, so I hope that you guys take a vantage of the chart. I did post a video but it looks like it hasn’t loaded yet and I’m already away from home.

How to Choose the Right Stocks to Invest inIn this analysis, I'll be talking about the two approaches you can take in choosing the right stocks to invest in: the top down, and bottom up analysis methods.
I have seen posts explaining the top down and bottom up analyses by time frames, but that's not correct.
Time frames don't have anything to do with this approach.
If you wish to check out my other educational post on how to properly use the fibonacci retracement tool (as many people get confused with this as well), click on the post below.
Bottom Up Analysis Explained
- The bottom up method is the method that the majority uses to analyze stocks.
- The investor first chooses a stock that he wants to potentially invest in.
- Then, he analyzes the financials of the company, and compares it with that of other companies in the same industry
- Afterwards, he assesses the industry itself, and decides whether the industry as a whole is prominent and healthy
- Lastly, he takes a look at the entire macroeconomic situation, and assess if this is the best time to get in the stock that he has his eyes on.
Top Down Analysis Explained
- With the top down method, everything is done in the same way, but in reverse.
- The investor first asks himself what the macroeconomic situation is like, and which country he should invest in.
- He even takes a look at factors like demographics change (which is actually much more important than most people think it is)
- Afterwards, the investor takes a look at which sector he should invest in.
- Once he chooses a sector, he goes through all the individual companies he could potentially have his money on
- He goes through a list of the companies in that sector, and compares each and every one of them.
- Once he chooses the most prominent company in the sector, he takes a look at the company's financials, and decides whether to invest or not.
Conclusion
Broadly speaking, there are two methods of approach in choosing the right stocks to invest in. Since most retail investors hardly conduct top-down analysis, it might be a good idea to test out different approaches in choosing winning stocks.

GBP/JPY - We got our expected breakout to the upside!On the 6th January we posted the linked analysis for GBP/JPY. We have seen a break of this flat channel to the upside!
We are predicting market moves consistently before they happen!
We could see price fall to retest the top of our flat channel and form another potential buy opportunity! Keep an eye on this pair!
EURUSD Sell Setup!Hello everyone, if you like the idea, do not forget to support with a like and follow.
on DAILY: EURUSD is sitting around strong resistance in green so we will be looking for sell setups on lower timeframes.
on H1: EURUSD formed an objective trendline in red so we are waiting for a momentum candle close below its last swing to sell.
Trigger: Waiting for a momentum candle close below the gray area to sell.
and until the sell is activated, this one would be overall bullish and can still dive inside the green resistance zone.
As price approaches our lower blue support, we will be looking for buy setups.
Good luck!
Monthly market Breakdown for BitcoinWelcome fellow Tradingviewers,
This analyses is a follow-up from our previous BTC TA moments and are followed up every month.
Every month for the next 13 months we will release our monthly market breakdown. If you want to receive daily and weekly technical analyses you might want to check our website.
In our previous analyses we predicted that BTC would rise all the way to 16.300, after touching this level we went way beyond and extended the target in our daily analyses to the All time High.
We have now touched all time high and retested the 16.300 support, so what is next?
In this analyses we are going to show you our view on the current market situation for Bitcoin.
We will be analysing BTC using a top-down strategy, including candlestick patterns, indicators and price patterns.
Monthly:
- This close was the HIGHEST CLOSE EVER for Bitcoin.
- The monthly close was a bullish engulfing candle.
- We closed just below ATH.
- We are still above all moving averages.
- Volume keeps increasing.
- Higher High is confirmed.
- Bullish MACD.
Weekly:
- We closed the weekly as a bullish engulfing candle.
- The W formation that we saw is bearing its fruits now and this could be one of the factors that drives Bitcoin through its all time high.
- The MACD is bullish and shows strength.
- We are well above all MA's.
- Volume increasing.
- Higher high discussed in the previous analyses formed.
Daily:
- We saw a strong morning pattern being formed at the bottem when touching the 16.300 resistance.
- Just cleared the NOV 24th High.
- The MACD is bullish.
- We are well above all MA's.
- Volume increasing.
In summary:
In the last free monthly market breakdown we emphasized the big companies that are introducing more and more people to Bitcoin and as you guys can see we made an incredible jump of over 40% in a single month. We are now at ATH prices and it is important to not panic. While trading specific patterns and indicators might become more and more difficult we need to stay ahead of the game with a clear mind and without FOMO and GREED. Once Bitcoin breaks ATH we enter price discovery mode and as long as MSM is not widely broadcasting this Bitcoin pump we will probably stay in prrice discovery mode for a long time.
We have deleted the HL and HH cycle because we are not yet finding a new top, if you have not seen those make sure to check our previous analyses. The monthly candle was one of the most bullish once in Bitcoins lifecycle and we therefore have the conviction that price is more likely to rise than to decrease. However Bitcoin is a volatile asset and can jump up and down 30% in a single day as it has done in the past. We would suggest not to short this market and to take a look at the identifiable support zones, the first ones being 16.3 and 13.8 before going down to the next zones located in the charts. We will provide you guys with daily updates on the price discovery on our website!
This analyses is only intended to share my idea, to educate and entertain you guys.
This should not be considered as financial advice.
