# Timeframe Alignment

Breaker Model Timeframe Alignment

Proper timeframe alignment is crucial for high-probability setups. The Breaker Model uses an advanced Multi-Timeframe (MTF) engine.

### Automatic Mode

When `HTF Mode` is set to **Automatic**, the indicator dynamically scales the liquidity sources based on your current chart timeframe. For example, if you are viewing a 5m chart, it will automatically look for liquidity on the 15m, 1H, and 4H charts, ensuring you don't have to manually adjust settings when switching charts.

### Manual Mode

When set to **Manual**, you have granular control over the exact timeframes the indicator tracks for liquidity sweeps.

**Recommended Pairings for Manual Mode:**

* **Execution (Chart): 1m - 3m**
  * Liquidity Sources: 15m, 1H
* **Execution (Chart): 5m - 15m**
  * Liquidity Sources: 1H, 4H, Daily
* **Execution (Chart): 1H**
  * Liquidity Sources: 4H, Daily, Weekly

The logic requires a higher timeframe level to be swept to validate the lower timeframe Breaker formation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/models/breaker-model-tm/timeframe-alignment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
