LTF (Lower Timeframe)

LTF (Lower Timeframe)
The smallest of three timeframe roles. Used for entry timing only — does not generate trade ideas.
Full Explanation
The LTF is read last, and only after both the HTF and TTF have produced clean reads. Its role is timing: finding the right moment within the TTF structure to commit to the entry. It is not a source of trade ideas. A compelling-looking LTF setup with no TTF structure behind it is not a trade. The LTF also reveals the internal sequence of HTF and TTF candles — breaking a larger candle into smaller ones to understand what happened inside it. LTF behavior does not reshape TTF structure.
