The Truth About Timeframe Analysis – Chapter 2

FAFO – F*-AROUND-FIND-OUT FRAMEWORK”**
If timeframes misalign, the market punishes you — every single time.

1️⃣ Trend / Impulse Check

Last impulse >2× previous → momentum, not trend.

Momentum alone = FAFO

Check last candles → volume continuation or fade
Context decides survival.

2️⃣ Zones Only Count With Confluence

Align with:
✔ Trend
✔ HTF
✔ Clean break/retest
✔ Rejection candle
✔ Multiple TFs clean

No confluence = decoration, ignore.

3️⃣ Candles = Evidence, Not Setups

Single candles ≠ signal

Must fit context + confluence

Wrong context → FAFO

4️⃣ Confluence = Survival

2 variables aligned + 1 neutral = potential

Any contradiction = dead setup

No guessing. No opinions.

5️⃣ Timeframe Conflicts → Wait

H1 bullish, M15 bearish → NO TRADE

Waiting = capital protection, not inactivity

Force a trade → FAFO

6️⃣ Context = Weapon

Strong trend + HTF resistance + fading volume = conflict → do not trade

Market shakes out amateurs here

Respect context or get cleaned

7️⃣ Golden Rule

Never trade against HTF unless MTF confirms reversal:
✔ Structure shift
✔ Volume shift
✔ Rejection candle
✔ Alignment

Trade anyway → RR small, execution precise

8️⃣ 10-SECOND CLASSIFICATION CHECK

HTF → bullish / bearish / conflict

MTF → aligned / challenging / opposite

LTF → entry / noise

Zone → fresh / retested / dead

Candle → supportive / neutral / invalidation

Confluence → 2 aligned + 1 neutral = tradeable

Contradiction → NO TRADE

9️⃣ FAFO Examples

Bearish M15 at HTF demand = FAFO

Momentum into dead zone = FAFO

Giant candle in consolidation = FAFO

10️⃣ Rule Stack

HTF owns the market

MTF decides opportunity

LTF executes only

Two variables aligned = potential

One contradiction = dead setup

Momentum ≠ trend

Zones need confluence or they don’t exist
