Timeframe Pairing

Unicorn Model Timeframe Alignment

Timeframe pairing is critical to successfully executing the ICT Unicorn Model. This involves combining higher timeframe analysis (for directional bias and key levels) with lower timeframe execution (for precision entries and risk management).

The Unicorn Model supports the following timeframe pairing:

Timeframe	Description
Automatic	Automatically selects the best timeframe pairing based on current timeframe.
15s - 5m	Ultra-fast scalping; micro to short-term trend detection.
1m - 5m	Fast intraday trades; ideal for scalping and quick setups.
2m - 15m	Short-term scalping to early intraday momentum.
3m - 30m	Intraday view with mid-term setup confirmation.
5m - 60m	Strong intraday to multi-hour trend tracking.
15m - 1H	Good for day trading; balances entry and confirmation.
30m - 3H	Mid-term trend analysis; swing trade positioning.
1H - 4H	Popular for swing trades; broader trend confirmation.
4H - 1D	Higher timeframe swing to weekly trend setups.
1D - 1W	Position trading; tracks long-term market trends.
1W - 1M	Long-term investment view; monthly trend strength.
1M - 6M	Macro trend overview; strategic investment horizon.
Custom	A user-defined timeframe for flexible and personalized analysis.

The Unicorn Model relies on this multi-timeframe approach to align institutional intent with intraday setups.
