📊 MTF Dashboard

📊 MTF Dashboard

Monitor 8 timeframes simultaneously to identify trend alignment and market consensus across multiple time horizons.

🎯 What is MTF Dashboard?

The Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Dashboard provides a comprehensive view of market conditions across 8 different timeframes in a single, easy-to-read table. It analyzes trend direction and volatility for each timeframe, helping you identify when multiple timeframes align for high-probability setups.

Key Insight: When 6+ timeframes show the same trend direction, the probability of continuation increases significantly.

📖 Reading the Dashboard

The AVG Row (Bottom Summary)

Trend Bias

The ⭐ AVG row provides overall market assessment:

  • 🚀 Bullish = Majority uptrend

  • 🧸 Bearish = Majority downtrend

  • ⚖️ Neutral = Mixed signals

Volatility Summary

Shows dominant market conditions:

  • Dominant volatility level (High/Normal/Low)

  • Expansion or contraction trend

  • Overall market agreement strength

Pro Tip: The AVG row gives you the "market consensus" - when it shows strong bias, follow that direction.

💡 Pro Strategies

Strategy 1: Alignment Confluence

Wait for strong MTF alignment (6+) to coincide with:

  • Order block test

  • Cloud band edge

  • Key support/resistance

Strategy 2: Timeframe Cascade

  1. Higher timeframes turn bullish first

  2. Wait for lower timeframes to align

  3. Enter on lowest timeframe signal

Strategy 3: Volatility Filter

  • High volatility + Alignment = Breakout trade

  • Low volatility + Alignment = Wait for expansion

  • Normal volatility + Alignment = Standard entry

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Avoid These Errors:

  1. Trading against strong alignment - Don't fight 6+ timeframe consensus

  2. Ignoring higher timeframes - They set the dominant trend

  3. Over-weighting fast timeframes - Balance your analysis

  4. Not waiting for alignment - Patience for high-probability setups

🛠️ 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 dashboard features

  5. Use alerts to catch alignment changes

  6. Respect the overall AVG bias
