  • Order Block test
  • Cloud Band edge
  • Key support/resistance

Strategy 2: Timeframe Cascade

  2. Wait for lower timeframes to align
  3. Enter on lowest timeframe signal

  • High volatility + Alignment = Breakout trade
  • Low volatility + Alignment = Wait for expansion
  • Normal volatility + Alignment = Standard entry

Common Mistakes

Troubleshooting

Dashboard not showing any data
  • Ensure “Show MTF Dashboard” is enabled
  • Check that you have enough historical data loaded
  • Verify timeframe inputs are valid (e.g., “5”, “15”, “60”, “D”)
Some timeframes show “n/a”
  • The timeframe may be invalid or not available
  • Try standard timeframes: 1, 5, 15, 30, 60, 240, D, W
  • Custom timeframes need specific format (e.g., “90” for 90 minutes)
Dashboard updates slowly
  • This is normal - it updates with each new bar close
  • Higher timeframes update less frequently
  • Use lower timeframes for more responsive data

Best Practices

  1. Start with standard timeframe sets
  2. Choose a dashboard style that suits your trading approach
  3. Wait for 6+ timeframe alignment
  4. Confirm with other Infinity Dashboard features
  5. Use alerts to catch alignment changes
  6. Respect the overall AVG bias
