Timeframe
Updated 2026-09-20
Definition
The duration of each candle on the chart: from 1 minute (M1) to a month (MN).
Why it matters
Each timeframe shows a different scale of the same story. The top-down approach is used: the high timeframe for context, the low one for entry.
Practical example
D1 for the trend, H1 for the area, M15 for entry: three timeframes with a ratio of about 4:1.
