LESSON 01 · MARKET STRUCTURE & TIMEFRAMES

Know what each chart is supposed to tell you.

The goal is not to make every timeframe agree perfectly. The goal is to give each timeframe one clear job so a fast 1m move does not override the larger structure.

60m

CONTEXT

Mark major swing structure, major support/resistance, prior session extremes, and the broad directional environment.

15m

STRUCTURE

Refine the intraday map: meaningful highs/lows, support-resistance flips, compression, and nearby opposing structure.

CONFIRMATION

Observe the reaction, structure shift, displacement, reclaim, rejection, or directional follow-through.

EXECUTION

Use only for precise timing after the higher-timeframe story is already defined. Do not build the entire setup from one candle.

CORE STRUCTURE LANGUAGE

HH / HL / LH / LL

Use meaningful swings, not every tiny zigzag. The purpose is to describe what price has already done—not to predict what it must do next.

Higher High

A swing high above the prior meaningful swing high.

Higher Low

A pullback low that holds above the prior meaningful low.

Lower High

A rally high that fails below the prior meaningful high.

Lower Low

A swing low below the prior meaningful swing low.

VISUAL EXAMPLE

Bullish structure is a sequence, not one green candle.

This simplified diagram shows a higher high followed by a higher low and another higher high. The structure description comes from the relationship between swings.

TOP-DOWN PROCESS

A clean read moves from slow to fast.

160m: Where is price?

215m: What structure matters?

35m: What actually happened at the level?

41m: Is there a cleaner timing point?

Common mistake: starting on the 1m chart, seeing a large candle, and then searching higher timeframes for reasons to justify it. ScribeMoor reverses that order.

CHECKPOINTS

Test the observation process.

1. Which timeframe should create the broad structural context in this ScribeMoor workflow?

2. Price is making higher highs and higher lows on the 15m chart. What does that describe?

3. A 1m candle spikes through a level, but the 5m chart has not confirmed direction. What is the disciplined response?
