Beginner Explanation

HTF Confirmation ensures the direction of a lower-timeframe setup agrees with the dominant flow on H1, H4, and D1. Without HTF alignment, even beautiful setups fail statistically.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

  1. Open the HTF Confirmation panel on the Dashboard.
  2. Note the weighted decision — a blend of trend, structure, and momentum.
  3. See how each timeframe casts a vote.
  4. Understand the HTF confidence floor — signals below it are blocked.
  5. Learn how HTF drift invalidates a queued setup.

Helpful Tips

  • HTF disagreement is not a bug — it's the filter working.
  • The HTF confidence floor can be adjusted per instrument.
  • Retest signals need especially strong HTF backing.

Common Mistakes

  • Overriding HTF and manually forcing trades against the trend.
  • Assuming H1 alone is enough — H4 and D1 matter.
  • Ignoring HTF data health warnings.

Best Practices

  • Only trade when at least two HTFs align.
  • Review HTF Retest page to learn from prior signals.
  • Trust the floor — it protects your capital during ambiguity.
