everyone is chasing the 15m candles but they ignore the fact that the macro environment is what actually drives the price. a perfect ltf setup means nothing if the dxy is ripping and treasury yields are spiking. larning to align ur trade with the macro bias is the only way to stop getting slaughtered.
i’ve started using a macro filter and a daily routine from tyriantrade.com to make sure i’m not just trading a narrative. it laegit helps to see the big picture before jumping into a trade based on a tweet or a signal group. the goal is to trade with the money flow not against it.
do u guys actually check macro data before trading or u just trust the candles? lmk ur process for this week.
