MTS Scanner
MTS Scanner & Timeframe Usage Framework
This page explains how the MTS framework is used across scanners, timeframes, and trading styles in a structured, observational, and risk-aware manner.
How the MTS Scanner Is Used
The MTS Scanner is designed to reduce market noise by highlighting areas where structure, alignment, and participation are present. It does not generate trade signals.
Scanning is used for awareness and prioritisation — not execution.

Trading Styles, Timeframes & Context
MTS follows a top-down analytical approach. Higher timeframes define context and direction, while lower timeframes are used only for observation and refinement.
| Trading Style | Higher Timeframe (Context) | Observation Timeframe | What to Observe | Execution Context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intraday | Daily / 60-Minute | 5-Minute / 15-Minute | Trend direction, momentum continuity, range versus expansion behaviour | Participation considered only when intraday behaviour aligns with higher-timeframe structure |
| Swing | Weekly / Daily | 4-Hour / 1-Hour | Pullbacks, consolidation phases, momentum resumption | Participation considered only in the direction of higher-timeframe trend |
| Positional | Weekly | Daily | Trend sustainability, structural zones, broader market cycles | Participation aligned with long-term structure rather than short-term noise |
Timeframe selection changes the lens — not the core logic. Higher-timeframe alignment always leads the decision process.
