In a three-chart setup (e.g., 5-min, 15-min, 60-min), what is the correct resolution if the 5-min chart shows a bullish hammer but the 60-min chart is in a strong downtrend?
- Abandon the trade, since conflicting signals across time frames always result in losses.
- The 5-min signal is the earliest marker on the chart and should be traded with full position size.
- The 60-min trend takes precedence; the hammer is likely a minor pullback or counter-trend move.
- Wait for the 15-min chart to print a clear 'no demand' bar that confirms the dominant 60-min downtrend.
