Chart roles
Parent, execution, and management roles without a fixed timeframe matrix.
Chart jobs stay fixed even when the interval changes.
Parent timeframe: owns the larger 1-2-3, PTB, or Step 2 breakout condition.Execution timeframe: one chart selected before activation to time the entry.Management plan: names the structure and holding intention that govern the trade after entry.
Teaching default
- Daily and hourly: build intraday context.
- 5-minute: own the primary intraday 1-2-3, PTB entry, and initial management.
Parent-led use
A daily, weekly, hourly, or 15-minute chart may own the larger setup. The 5-minute chart is the recommended execution chart. A 15-minute or hourly execution chart may be used for a larger trade only when it is selected before activation.
Use one parent chart and one execution chart. Do not change them because an entry was missed, a trade lost, or another chart looks cleaner afterward. For the PTB approach, no clean eligible candidate on the selected execution chart means Wait.
The teaching default does not establish a fixed combination for every market and holding period. Document the selected jobs before activation.
