Best Trading Tip for Fractals and Timeframes

00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,800
It's also important to understand that market 
movements are fractal in nature. But what does  

00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,600
that mean? Essentially, the patterns and 
structures we see in the higher time frame,  

00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:15,200
like the 60 minute chart, are often repeated on 
smaller time frames such as the 15 minute chart.  

00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:19,600
This repetition across different scales 
is what we refer to as fractals. Whether  

00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,360
you're observing the market on a larger 
or smaller scale, the same principles of  

00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,400
market structure like higher highs, lower 
lows, pullbacks and impulses are evident.

00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,320
Fractals help us understand that the 
market operates in repeating cycles.  

00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,040
This allows us to apply the same market 
structure concepts across all time frames  

00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,440
to bring more clarity to this concept. 
Al Brooks shares a practical insight  

00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,080
on how setups are present in every 
chart, regardless of the time frame:

00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:52,640
To me, if you take away the time frame and 
just look at any chart, they're all the same  

00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,280
and there are thousands of ways to construct a 
chart, for what's taking place, during the day.

00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,600
And it doesn't matter which chart you take, 
there will be plenty of setups on every chart.  

00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:09,200
And I realize that by trading the five minute 
chart, I'm missing all kinds of other setups on  

00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,560
the one minute chart with three minute chart and 
volume charts. All kinds of other charts. And I  

00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,160
don't worry about it. So you simply look at the 
chart that you have in front of you, and don't  

00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,960
worry about the hundreds of other setups that 
you're missing on all of those other timeframes.

00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:27,440
Any one chart will have plenty of setups. 
And if you just focus on one chart,  

00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,320
there will be plenty of 
opportunities to make money.

00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:33,600
This reinforces the idea that no 
matter the chart or timeframe,  

00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,640
patterns and opportunities repeat 
themselves. Your edge comes not  

00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:41,280
from chasing every setup across time frames, 
but from mastering the one in front of you.

00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,600

knowledge and elevate your trading,
