# 📊 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. {% hint style="info" %} **Key Insight:** When 6+ timeframes show the same trend direction, the probability of continuation increases significantly. {% endhint %}

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 {% hint style="warning" %} **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 {% endhint %} *** #### 🛠️ 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 *** *Need help?
