RESEARCH FRAMEWORK
Multi-timeframe continuation
Aligns a higher-timeframe state with a lower-timeframe trigger without peeking into unfinished bars.
Only the measurements the rule needs
Higher-timeframe structureEMAATR
Conditions before an entry exists
- Higher timeframe is fully closed
- Timeframe relationship is fixed
- Lower-timeframe trigger is objective
ENTRY
After the lower timeframe resumes in the closed higher-timeframe direction.
STOP
Beyond the lower-timeframe invalidation or higher-timeframe level, sized consistently.
EXIT
Higher-timeframe target or lower-timeframe trailing rule.
DO NOT TRADE
Using partially formed higher-timeframe candles and conflicting currency exposure.
What has to happen before capital is at risk
1Synchronise timestamps
2Prevent data leakage
3Compare single-timeframe control
4Report entry delay
Report gross and net results, the full eligible sample, maximum drawdown, trade distribution and any rule changes. Then repeat on data that did not influence the design.
Use the same protocol every time.
The CSV test plan records eligibility, costs, execution, outcome and rule adherence without turning an example into a promise.
