Timeframe Continuity – The Key to Knowing Who’s in Control

By now, you’ve learned about the three scenarios and broadening formations. Today, we’re taking it to the next level with timeframe continuity—a fancy way of saying, “Who’s in control of the market right now?”

If you can figure that out, you’ll stop fighting the market and start trading with it.

What Is Timeframe Continuity?

Timeframe continuity shows us whether buyers or sellers are in control across multiple timeframes.

Here’s how it works:

1. Every timeframe (monthly, weekly, daily, hourly) has an opening price.
2. If the price is above the open, buyers are in control.
3. If the price is below the open, sellers are in control.

Easy, right?

Why Does This Matter?

Let’s say you’re looking at a stock, and the monthly, weekly, and daily charts are all red. What does this tell you? Sellers are in full control. If you’re trying to buy, you’re fighting the entire market.

On the flip side, if all the time frames are green, you’ve got buyers across the board. That’s where you want to be.

Full-Timeframe Continuity = High-Probability Trades

The most powerful trades happen when all the time frames align. We call this full-timeframe continuity. If the price is green on the month, week, day, and even the hourly chart, you have buyers stepping in at every level.

This is where you lay it on. You’re not guessing—price is telling you who’s in control.

Your Next Steps

1. Open up your favorite charting platform.
2. Add the monthly, weekly, and daily charts for your favorite stock.
3. Check the open prices. Are buyers or sellers in control across all timeframes?

In the next email, we’ll bring it all together—scenarios, broadening formations, and timeframe continuity—to show you how to build a winning trade plan.

Until next time, remember: Don’t guess. Trust what price is telling you.
