Support and Resistance – Identifies key price levels where the market is likely to reverse or pause.
Trendlines – Helps determine the direction and strength of a trend
Candlestick Patterns – Reveal possible trend continuations or reversals based on price action.
The key steps to analyzing the market are:
(1)Check the Higher Timeframe (Trend)
Start with a higher timeframe (e.g., 4 H or Daily) to identify the overall market trend: uptrend, downtrend, or sideways.
(2) Mark Support and Resistance
Identify important price levels where the market has previously reversed or paused.
(3) Identify the Trend Direction
Determine whether the market is making:
Higher Highs (HH) & Higher Lows (HL) = Uptrend
Lower Highs (LH) & Lower Lows (LL) = Downtrend
No clear pattern = Sideways market
(4)Look for Breakouts or Rejections
Watch how price reacts at key support and resistance levels.
A breakout may signal trend continuation, while a rejection may indicate a reversal.
(5)Plan Your Trade
Decide the:
Entry point – where you will enter the trade.
Stop Loss – where you will exit if the trade goes against you.
Take Profit – where you will close the trade to secure your profit
A timeframe is the amount of time represented by a single candlestick or bar on a trading chart. It determines how much market activity each candle shows.
Examples:
1 Minute (M1): Each candle represents 1 minute.
15 Minutes (M15): Each candle represents 15 minutes.
1 Hour (H1): Each candle represents 1 hour.
4 Hours (H4): Each candle represents 4 hours.
1 Day (D1): Each candle represents 1 day.
Timeframes are important because they help traders:
(1) Identify the market trend (uptrend, downtrend, or sideways).
(2) Find better entry and exit points for trades.
(3)Avoid false trading signals by confirming trades on different timeframes.
(4)Plan trades according to their trading style, whether scalping, day trading, or swing trading.
So basically, a timeframe is like the "clock" of a trading chart. It shows how much time each candle covers and helps traders understand the market from the big picture down to precise entry points.

Maintaining 1:2 risk to reward ratio is important because it allows you to make twice as much profit as you risk on each winning trade
Eg risking $10 to make $20
Risk to reward ratio is a ratio is the ratio between how much you're willing to lose ( risk) and how much you're willing to gain ( reward
Risk to reward ratio = risk ÷ reward
This is an order placed by you to automatically close your trade when it reaches a level you chose to limit your loss
