什么 Is a Timeframe?
A timeframe determines how much price data each candlestick represents. A 1-hour candle shows 60 minutes of 价格行为. A daily candle shows 24 hours. The same market looks 完整ly different depending on the timeframe you choose — a downtrend on the 15-minute chart might be just a pullback on the 4-hour chart.

The SMC Timeframe Framework
In 聪明资金概念, you always use two timeframes: a higher timeframe (HTF) for 偏向 and a lower timeframe (LTF) for entries. The HTF tells you WHICH direction to trade. The LTF tells you WHEN to enter.
Popular combinations: 4H 偏向 + 15M 入场 (日内交易), Daily 偏向 + 4H 入场 (波段交易), 1H 偏向 + 5M 入场 (超短线交易).
Quantum Algo's multi-timeframe panel shows you the 偏向 起 your higher timeframe directly on your 入场 chart — so you never miss the bigger picture while timing entries.
