How to use the Multi-Timeframe Confluence
- Pick one stock, or all of themOne stock mode reports every timeframe whether it passed or not. All stocks mode sweeps the NSE list and returns only the ones where all three agree.
- Choose the directionBullish or bearish. Every timeframe has to show that same direction — neutral shapes like a doji never count, because indecision cannot confirm anything.
- Set each timeframe separatelyEvery leg gets its own pattern and its own window — a Morning Star on the monthly, anything bullish on the weekly, a Bullish Engulfing on the daily. Leave a pattern on "any" to accept all formations of that direction. The windows are in each timeframe's own bars: months, weeks and sessions.
- Read the funnelThe sweep shows how many survived each stage — scanned, passed monthly, passed weekly, passed daily — so you can see immediately whether a setting is too tight.
- Compare the three chartsEach result draws monthly, weekly and daily side by side with the formation outlined on each, so the agreement is visible rather than asserted.
Frequently asked questions
Why check the monthly timeframe first?
Two reasons that happen to agree. The monthly candle is the backdrop, so it is what should decide whether a stock is worth a closer look at all. It is also the cheapest and strongest filter: seven years is about 1,700 daily bars but only 81 monthly ones, so the monthly pass is roughly twenty times lighter per symbol and removes most of the market before the expensive daily pass runs.
Can I ask for a different pattern on each timeframe?
Yes, and that is usually the more useful screen. Each leg has its own picker, so you can require a Morning Star on the monthly, accept anything bullish on the weekly, and demand a Bullish Engulfing on the daily. Leaving one on "any" accepts every formation of the chosen direction on that leg. The funnel then shows exactly which of your filters narrowed the list and by how much.
Why are the three recency windows separate?
Because a bar means a different amount of time on each. "Within 2 bars" is two months on the monthly chart and two sessions on the daily one. A single shared number would quietly mean something different at every scale, so each timeframe gets its own window expressed in its own bars.
Why do so few stocks come back?
That is the tool working, not failing. A daily formation on its own is common; the same direction on three scales at once is not. If the list is empty, the funnel shows which stage emptied it, and widening that timeframe's window will let more through.
What happens to doji and other neutral shapes?
They are excluded entirely. A doji is indecision by definition, so allowing one to stand in for "bullish" would make a three-way agreement mean nothing. Only formations the testing literature classifies as directional can satisfy a leg.
Why does single-stock mode show legs that failed?
Because you asked about a named stock, so you want to know where it stands. "Monthly and weekly agree, daily has not confirmed yet" is a far more useful answer than a blank screen, so every leg is reported and the ones that did not qualify are simply shown dimmed.
Does agreement across three timeframes predict the move?
No. This reports formations that have already printed on stored price history and nothing else. Agreement is rarer than any single signal, which is why it is worth seeing, but it gives no targets, no entries and no ratings, and makes no claim about what a price does next. It is a study and research aid, not a recommendation, and not investment advice.
