How Multi-Timeframe Scanning Works

A walkthrough of how VedaCharts aggregates signals across four timeframes so you see momentum shifts the moment they happen.

Multi-timeframe signal chart

Most chart tools make you flip between timeframes manually. You look at the daily, then the 4-hour, then the 15-minute, and hope you remember what the last one said. VedaCharts flattens that workflow.

The four timeframes we track

Every symbol in your watchlist is continuously evaluated on:

  • Daily — structural trend and higher-timeframe bias

  • Hourly — swing-trade entries and momentum shifts

  • 15-minute — intraday continuation and reversal setups

  • 5-minute — precision timing for entries and scalps

What you see in the scanner

The scanner shows a grid: rows are symbols, columns are timeframes. Each cell shows the latest signal state — BUY, SELL, or neutral. A quick scan down the column tells you which timeframes are in agreement.

Typical workflow

  1. Load your watchlist (or use one of the curated lists).

  2. Sort the scanner by the timeframe you trade on.

  3. Look for rows where multiple timeframes agree.

  4. Click through to the chart for confirmation.

  5. Take the trade — or move on.

The goal isn't to eliminate judgment. It's to compress the first 20 minutes of your analysis into 20 seconds.
