Lesson 4 — Top-Down Context and Why Lower Timeframes Mislead Traders
Many traders do reasonable analysis on a higher timeframe and then destroy that clarity by getting lost in lower-timeframe noise. The lower the timeframe, the easier it becomes to confuse movement with meaning. Top-down context helps the trader stay oriented so that execution decisions remain connected to the bigger structure instead of being controlled by random short-term fluctuation.
