Trades examples

Multitime frame filter

This chart represents a scalping setup for Gold on a lower time frame (M2 or M3)

Buy Entry Points:
- Several yellow arrows (AMP signal) appear near or just outside the lower TMA band, signaling possible buy opportunities.
- The EMA trend bars turn green, confirming an upward price movement.
- These conditions align well with the strategy rules for taking a buy position.
Avoiding Sell Signals:
- The chart also shows some sell arrows near the upper TMA band, but since the H1 trend is bullish, these should be ignored.
- Taking only buy trades in the direction of the higher time frame trend increases the probability of success.
