How to use Top-Down Multi-Timeframe Analysis

What it does

Top-Down Analysis walks the timeframes from the top down — monthly, weekly, and daily context down to the 4H, 1H, and 15M execution frames — and stitches them into a single, coherent institutional bias.

It answers the three critical questions that determine trade expectancy: which direction is the market drawing, where are the institutional decision levels, and what price action would invalidate the trade idea.

When to use it

Use it as your first read of the day or session, or whenever price reaches a major support/resistance zone and you need to know whether higher timeframes support continuation or reversal.

How to run it

1. 1Open the Dashboard and select your symbol (Gold, Crypto, or Forex).
2. 2Choose Top-Down Analysis and click Run.
3. 3The full report builds every timeframe plus supply/demand zones, a suggested trade setup, and an AI summary in one pass.

How to read the output

• •HTF bias — the dominant direction from higher timeframes; treat it as the current of the river.
• •Structure — recent breaks of structure (BOS) and changes of character (CHoCH) that confirm or warn against the bias.
• •Key zones — institutional supply/demand and order-block areas where price is statistically likely to react.
• •Trade context — a suggested direction, an entry area, invalidation level, and a logical target.

Turn it into a plan

Trade in the direction of the HTF bias, wait for price to reach a key zone, and use a lower-timeframe trigger (structure shift or CRT sweep) to time the entry. Place your stop beyond the level that would invalidate the idea, not at an arbitrary pip distance.
