Key terms for this guide
These glossary pages cover the ideas and platform language most closely tied to this workflow.
Session levels are close-in references
Session highs, lows, opens, and closes are useful for intraday orientation because they track the most recent auction map traders are reacting to today.
Higher-time-frame levels widen the lens
Higher-time-frame levels are more useful when you want to know whether the current intraday move is pushing into a larger daily or weekly reference zone.
Use both when they answer separate questions
Session levels tell you where the current day is trading. Higher-time-frame levels tell you where that day sits inside the larger map.
