Timeframe Alignment
Timeframe Alignment shows one simulated price series on three charts: daily, 1 hour and 5 minutes. You read the daily bias, then tap the only 5 minute fair value gap that points with it from the right half of the 1 hour range. It teaches a top-down routine that removes setups.

What it teaches
Taking a lower-timeframe setup only when the higher timeframes agree.
- Starting from the highest timeframe and working down, never the other way.
- What multi-timeframe alignment means in rule form: the setup points with the higher-timeframe bias, from discount for a long or premium for a short.
- Counter-trend setups look just as clean on a small chart.
- An older trend the other way does not outrank the last break.
How a round plays
- Three tabs show the same price on three timeframes. A shaded box on a chart is the stretch the next tab zooms into.
- Daily: find the most recent candle that closed beyond a swing high or a swing low. Set the bias, up or down.
- 1 hour: the range runs from the lowest swing low to the highest swing high, and halfway is equilibrium. Longs belong below it, shorts above it.
- 5 minutes: every fair value gap is a setup. Tap the one gap that points with the daily bias from the right half of the 1 hour range.
- Check with the Lens: each chart shows its part, and every other gap is named as against the bias or in the wrong half. A run is six charts, about five minutes.
How it is graded
The rule here: the last daily body-close break sets the bias. Longs come from discount of the 1 hour range, shorts from premium. The aligned setup is the one 5 minute gap that agrees with both. The bias and the tapped gap are both graded.
The honest note
Alignment narrows which setups you look at. It is a filter that many traders find sensible, not a proof that aligned setups win more often. An aligned setup can still lose.
